On 12th-century foundations, St Mary's church still has sections dating from the 14th century. It's built from stone sourced in the South West and has some intriguing gargoyles. With a peaceful churchyard, it's a lovely place to stop by on a walk in the area.

This beautiful cruciform-designed church is located in the heart of Burton Bradstock. It features elements from different periods, with the oldest dating back to the 12th century: the base and the circular stem of the font. In the subsequent centuries, more additions and construction took place, notably in the 14th century when the nave was rebuilt
