All Saints Church in Hilton, Dorset, is a remarkable Grade I listed building, primarily dating from the 15th and 16th centuries. Its unique architecture features masonry, windows, and carved corbels (including a bagpipe player) salvaged and reused from the nearby Milton Abbey after the Dissolution. The church also houses two beautiful panels of early 16th-century paintings of the Apostles, which were also transferred from the Abbey. It retains a square 12th-century font in Purbeck marble.

In 1940 Dewlish was bombed by squadrons of German bombers and fighters. Just before D Day in 1944, the main American assault force onto Omaha Beach, trained and camped at Dewlish. They went straight from Dewlish to the ships at Weymouth.

A folly named "The Ruins" is a Grade II listed building in Milton Abbas, located within the Milton Abbey landscape. It's described as a Gothic-style building that is designed to resemble part of a church, including a chancel and part of a transept. It is located in a landscape that includes Milton Abbey and St. Catherine's Chapel.

* Dissolution: Following the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1539, the Abbey and estate were acquired by Sir John Tregonwell, a lawyer for Henry VIII. The Abbey church was allowed to become the parish church. * 18th Century Changes: In the late 18th century, Joseph Damer, Lord Milton (later Earl of Dorchester), decided the nearby market town of Milton (or Middleton) disturbed his ideal of rural peace. He had the entire town demolished and created the planned village of Milton Abbas. He also commissioned the landscape gardener Capability Brown to design the parkland around a new mansion he built on the site of the old Abbey buildings, keeping only part of the church. * Restoration: The church was restored around 1790 by James Wyatt and again in 1865 by Sir George Gilbert Scott.

The first church on the site was founded around 934 AD by the Saxon King Athelstan, grandson of Alfred the Great. It is said he had a vision of defeating the Danes while camping nearby and built the church in gratitude. * Benedictine Abbey: About thirty years later, King Edgar established a Benedictine monastery there. * Fire and Rebuilding: A fire caused by lightning destroyed the Norman church in 1309. The current Abbey Church of Saint Mary, Saint Sansom and Saint Branwalader largely dates from the 14th century, with some 15th-century additions like the north transept and tower extension. The nave as originally planned was never built.

Lovely pretty 14th century church definitely worth a visit
