Easter Sepulchre: A truly exceptional feature is the ornate early 16th-century Easter Sepulchre, located on the north wall of the chancel. This superbly carved example is one of the few surviving in Dorset and is considered unique in the county. It bears the initials "TW" for Thomas Weaver, who served as rector from 1514-1536 and was likely responsible for its erection. Its sophisticated Renaissance decoration and resemblance to angels by Benedetto da Rovezzano suggest influences from contemporary French and Italian art. Norman Font: The 12th-century font is crafted from local Purbeck marble and is topped by a 17th-century oak cover. Lectern: The church boasts a beautiful Art Nouveau style lectern, made from iron and brass in 1909. Registers: The church registers date back to 1545.

St Mary's Church in Tarrant Hinton, Dorset, is a charming medieval church with a rich history and several notable architectural features. It is one of several "Tarrant" villages named after the River Tarrant that flows through the area. Medieval Origins: The church dates back to the 13th century, with some Norman elements surviving, such as the font and piscina. Restorations and Additions: The church underwent a restoration in 1891. The chancel, by contrast, is largely Victorian, resulting from remodelling in 1874. Materials: The walls are a mix of banded flint and Upper Greensand, with some Ham Hill Stone used for windows and Caen stone for the Easter Sepulchre. The tower is primarily Upper Greensand ashlar. The changing workmanship in the banding of materials can illustrate different dates of construction. Tower: The 15th-century tower is heavily decorated with grotesque carvings and has a battlemented top. South Door: The south door exhibits traditional Norman zigzag carving motifs

I would highly recommend popping in the village store it’s excellent

I really enjoyed cycling the Wiltshire Droves, although in May is was very very wet and muddy and needed to walk in places. highly recommend it

Delightful, unspoilt avenue of beech trees on a permissive path (dogs on leads requested). Stark in February but I imagine it will be glorious come leaf peeping time in the autumn.

Chettle for pies

The old drove roads have been here for thousands of years providing the safest way of travelling and moving cattle across the land. This road was probably used to move the cows towards Salisbury and then onward to the ports at Southampton. The section that is rideable today passes an old ale house, dew ponds and grain storage sheds. The surface is easily rideable on a mountain bike but does get a bit muddy in the winter. Great views all year though! This is part of the Cranborne Droves Way Trail, a 27km route that links the Sarsen Way at Salisbury with the Wessex Ridgeway Trail at Win Green.

Great little community shop/cafe and very reasonably priced.
