What is the origin and date of the walkable labyrinth found in the Hampshire church?

Lens adapted to this topic: Interpretations of the labyrinth’s symbolic design

A more exploratory reading treats the labyrinth as an intentionally engineered symbolic feature whose meaning may be revealed by the church’s architecture and moving sunlight. The arrow-like light effect and possible calendar alignment are intriguing clues, but they remain interpretive rather than demonstrated origins.

• Sunlight through the stained-glass windows can form an apparent arrow pointing toward the labyrinth’s yellow centre.
• Some observers have proposed that the light’s movement and landing points could give the labyrinth a calendar function.
• The symbolic interpretation does not yet establish who designed the labyrinth or prove a specific original purpose.
