This picturesque church sits behind the Fleet, the vast lagoon created by Chesil Beach. It was once the parish church and has parts dating back to the 15th century, but it was partially damaged by the Great Storm of 1824 and then replaced by a newer church nearby. Today it is a mortuary chapel and a nice find on walks in the area.

Only the chancel remains, the Nave washed away by the great storm of 1824

This picturesque church is nestled behind the Fleet, the vast lagoon created by Chesil Beach. It was once the parish church and has sections dating back to the 15th century but it was partially damaged by the Great Storm of 1824 and subsequently replaced by a newer church nearby.
