St. Mary Magdalene, Batcombe "When a church was first built on this site is unknown, but it is believed that there has been one here from at least the 11th century." |
|
|
St. Peter, Chetnole "Chetnole church, like many village churches ... has evolved over the centuries, ... the result here is exceptionally pleasing." Click here for Dorset Historic Churches page. |
|
|
St. Mary the Virgin, Hermitage "This church is in a most attractive and peaceful setting adjacent to an 18c farmhouse." Click here for Dorset Historic Churches page. |
|
|
St. Nicholas, Hilfield "It is a chapel style church set on a hill side all alone..." Click here for Dorset Historic Churches page.
|
|
|
St. Andrew, Leigh "Formerly a chapel in the neighbouring parish of Yetminster." The church, like so many in Dorset, still has its C15 tower. The nave and chancel are the result of a Victorian restoration in 1840. This was to a design by R J Withers of Sherborne, whose only other recorded churches are St Nicholas at Hilfield and St Mary at Melbury Bubb. A new vestry was added late in the C20.

St. Hippolytus, Ryme Intrinsica "This little church, another of Dorset's gems, tucked away in a village. It shares the dedication with only one other church in England, near Hitchin in Hertfordshire." Click here for Dorset Historic Churches page. |
|
|
St. Andrew, Yetminster "St. Andrews presides genially over the handsome stone houses of Yetminster, a high proportion of which date from the seventeenth century, when the village achieved an unusual prosperity." Click here for Dorset Historic Churches page. |
