ミルボーンセントアンドリューのおすすめライド

Winterborne Kingstonの教会が居心地の良い家族の家だとすれば、Winterborne ClenstonにあるSt Nicholas Churchをクリックしてサイドパネルを開き詳細を表示は、クローズアップの準備ができた「ハイファッション」な邸宅教会です。 このグレードII*指定の美しさは、1840年に建築家ルイス・ヴュリアミーによって再建されました。非常に高価なデザイナーセーターを着ているかのように見える、印象的なフリントとポートランド石の帯が特徴で、有名なスタイリッシュさです。 銀幕の有名人：あまりにも絵になるため、1996年のジェーン・オースティン原作「エマ」の映画化作品の最後の結婚式のシーンで使用されました。主演はグウィネス・パルトロウです。 「鉛筆」の尖塔：隣人の頑丈な四角い塔とは異なり、こちらは本物のビクトリア朝の自信を持ってドーセットの空を貫く、細くエレガントな尖塔を備えています。 邸宅シック：Winterborne川を見下ろす丘の上に少し離れて位置し、近くのWhatcombe Houseと壮大なClenston Manorの「典型的な邸宅教会」として機能しています。 インテリアの魅力：内部は「垂直様式」のマスタークラスです。たくさんの垂直線、光に満ちた窓、そして「私は小さいけれど完璧に形作られている」と言う雰囲気があります。

Really lovely main street. This can comfort you while you climb - if you are going left at the top you will face more climbing. Milton Abbas is one of the earliest examples of a community being moved for aesthetic reasons: it was created in the 1770s when Joseph Damer, the then owner of Milton Abbey, relocated the village of Middleton to a new site (now known as Milton Abbas) to improve the view from his estate. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milton_Abbas

notable for being one of the first planned settlements in England. In the 1770s, the owner of Milton Abbey, Joseph Damer (later Lord Milton and Earl of Dorchester), decided the original village of Middleton was spoiling his view and commissioned architect Sir William Chambers and landscape gardener Capability Brown to design a new village in a nearby wooded valley. The old village was demolished, and most of its residents were relocated to this new model village, now known as Milton Abbas. The village is characterized by its single, sinuous main street lined with 36 almost identical whitewashed and thatched cottages. These were originally designed to house two families each.

The church was built in 1786. This was during the creation of the new village of Milton Abbas by Joseph Damer, the Earl of Dorchester. He had the original market town of Milton (or Middleton), which was too close to his mansion (now Milton Abbey School), demolished and a new model village constructed to house his estate workers. * Replacing an Older Church: There was an earlier St James' Church serving the parish before the new village was built. Its exact location is uncertain, though some speculate it might have been near the south door of Milton Abbey. Registers of this earlier church date back to 1650. * Materials from the Abbey: It is believed that some of the materials used to build St James' Church came from the demolished abbey barn. * Victorian Enhancements: In 1886, the church underwent significant alterations. The chancel was enlarged, the chancel and tower arches were rebuilt, and a south aisle was added.

The present St James Church (grade 2 listed) is located in the centre of The Street in the ‘new’ village of Milton Abbas. It was built in the 1780’s and consecrated in 1786. The church is open daily

If you are hiking in this area definitely pop in for a coffee and food it’s amazing 😋

We were there on a sunny Sunday afternoon during the holidays and yes... it was packed 🙈. Nevertheless, the place is well worth seeing and it is quite easy to get around. The daily parking fee for a car is 20 pounds 😳!

This cafe no longer exists (due to covid) , its been replaced by hotel & restaurant further up.
