context_page_description: Fawley is a village and civil parish in West Berkshire, England. The hub of the village is centred 3.5 miles east of Lambourn and has a sub-community within its bounds, Little or South Fawley. It includes a depopulated small hill settlement of Whatcombe.
  Fawley was the poor and depressed home of author Thomas Hardy's maternal grandmother – the main character in Jude the Obscure, stonemason Jude Fawley, lived in a fictional village Marygreen, and a relative, one of his biographers, links the memories of this woman to the book's bleak start.
context_section_description: The Church of England parish church of Saint Mary the Virgin was designed by the architect George Edmund Street and built in 1865–66. It has one stained glass window by William Morris. The chancel has a reredos that includes a mosaic by Salviati and a Crucifixion carved by Thomas Earp.  It has been protected under the commonest category of listed building (Grade II).
  The church replaces a medieval one that stood slightly further east and was demolished in 1866. The new church incorporates original Early English fragments that suggest the former church was at least partly late 12th or early 13th century.
  South Fawley Manor House is at the centre of that small settlement and is Grade II* listed. The staircase is oak with turned balusters and massive newels. It was built by Sir Francis Moore (barrister) about 1614, but a considerable part at the north end had been taken down by 1900. None of the other buildings in the parish are listed save a farm. Richard Symonds (diarist) recorded the quartering [billeting] of Lord Bernard Stewart and his troop of the King's Life Guards at Little Fawley and 'the neate and faire habitacion [home] of the Lady Moore,' on 19 November 1644.  He stated that the arms of Moore, with the motto 'Regi et legi' were then painted over the porch, together with Moore impaling Twittye, and the motto 'Suum cuique pulchrum.'
