While there was already a church in Thorncombe, the current one was built, incorporating elements from the old church, in the late 19th century. Some of its older elements include the Sanctuary Chair, from 1650, or the arch under the tower, from the 14th century. The weathercock on the tower dates back to the 18th century.

Small village which is almost like a cross roads to different cycling routes. Co-op shop here for resupply options.

Part of the Wulfric Benefice (named for St Wulfric who lived at one of the churches), this 13th century church lies next to Wayford Manor. The manor is exceptionally beautiful with wonderful gardens but is rarely open to the public. Instead, enjoy the serenity and beauty of the church instead, which is a marvellous slice of history all by itself.

This 13th century Anglican church is a Grade II listed building and, while its age is impressive, it holds a far more intriguing treasure. It has a surviving copy of ‘Foxes Book of Martyrs’, first published in 1563. It’s not everyday you get to see a book that old. The largest publishing effort in England at that time, the book is filled with woodcut impressions and is a work of Protestant history. This copy lies in a glass cabinet in the church and is well worth seeing.

This stunning patch of woodland lies just outside the village of Wayford and holds wonderful serenity under its canopy. It experienced a little fame in 2014 and 2015 thanks to its proliferation of fairy doors. While it started with just one intricately crafted wooden door in the base of a tree, more and more doors cropped up and with them came crowds and children who left presents and notes for the fairies. The local residents eventually shut the wood temporarily and removed the doors but the wood is no less magical for its fairy exodus. Instead, you’ll find tumbling streams, vibrant flora and unusual trees.
