The elements of this church in Melcombe Horsey are mostly from the 14th century.
To the south, there are remnants of a deserted medieval village.

May 3, 2025

A church has stood on this site since at least 1150 AD, with records dating back to that time held in the County Museum Library.
* 14th Century Core: The present stone and flint building largely dates back to the mid-14th century. This includes the nave and the lower stage of the west tower.
* 15th Century Additions: The upper stage of the tower and the rebuilding of the south (Horsey) chapel occurred in the 15th century. The Horsey Chapel is separated from the nave by a notable oak screen.
* 19th Century Chancel: The chancel was added in 1844 and features a window with reticulated tracery, in keeping with some of the earlier styles.
