St Mary’s Church is a Grade II* listed Anglican church rebuilt in 1849–50 by architect Decimus Burton, replacing an earlier medieval building. Designed in the Early English style, it features coarse ashlar stone, a three-stage west tower and a distinctive Portland stone spire. Some elements from the old church were reused, including memorial slabs and fragments of medieval stained glass. The church was largely funded by the local lord, Hastings Nathaniel Middleton, and consecrated in 1850.

So unusual to see a flying buttress on a village church!

You could of choose to continue up along the grove, alongside the Roman Defensive Ditch and Bank system but you'd be with the traffic so taking a right here and going through the Industrial Estate avoids all the traffic and brings you up onto the road that takes you to Poundbury

Be careful as it is unpaved. Passable on a road bike, and offers a good alternative to busy roads.

Lovely view of the river from the bench

Walk under the bridge from the main road and it is a completely different view

This small church consists solely of a nave and chancel. The original elements preserved from the 12th century are the chancel arch and the doorway.
