Gemini가 말하길 웨스트 도싯의 완만한 언덕에서 Broadwindsor에 있는 세례 요한 교회를 발견하면, 고전적인 "느긋한" 분위기의 시골 교회로, 조용한 돌담 안에 놀라운 양의 역사가 담겨 있습니다. 마을 중심부의 높은 곳에 자리 잡고 있으며, 광장을 내려다보며 마치 영원히 지켜온 듯한 모습입니다(사실, 대부분 그렇습니다). 방문할 가치가 있는 이유: 왕실 도망자의 은신처 이 마을의 가장 큰 명성은 숨바꼭질 게임과 관련이 있습니다. 1651년 우스터 전투에서 패배한 후, 찰스 2세는 목숨을 걸고 도망쳐 Broadwindsor에서 하룻밤을 보냈습니다. 왕이 인근 여관(현재 개인 코티지)에 숨어 있는 동안, 의회 군인들이 실제로 마을에 도착하여 수색했습니다. 전설에 따르면 그는 같은 건물에서 한 지역 여성이 출산하는 바람에 혼란스러운 상황이 벌어져 군인들이 그를 찾지 못하고 떠났기 때문에 탈출할 수 있었다고 합니다. 그는 결국 프랑스로 도망쳤지만, 교회는 그 긴장된 밤의 침묵의 증인으로 서 있습니다. "재치 있는" 교구 목사 1630년대에 교회는 토마스 풀러가 이끌었는데, 그는 펜으로 생계를 유지한 최초의 영국 작가 중 한 명으로 묘사됩니다. 그는 "임신한 재치"로 유명했으며, "자선은 집에서 시작되지만 거기서 끝나서는 안 된다"라고 말했습니다. * 오늘날에도 마을은 그를 매우 자랑스럽게 생각하며, 그의 인용문은 종종 길 아래에 있는 지역 커뮤니티 펍인 The White Lion에 새겨져 있습니다. 내부에서 찾아볼 것 "기울어진" 건축물: 교회는 거의 900년에 걸쳐 재건축되고 수리되었기 때문에 다양한 스타일이 혼합되어 있습니다. 네이브 한쪽에는 무겁고 둥근 노르만 아치가 있고 다른 쪽에는 더 뾰족한 "초기 영국" 아치가 있습니다. 이것은 내부에 약간 어울리지 않고 유기적인 느낌을 줍니다. 고대 세례반: 1200년대 초로 거슬러 올라가는 Purbeck Marble로 만든 사각형 세례반이 있습니다. 8세기 동안 마을 아이들을 세례하는 데 사용되었습니다. 종: 탑에는 6개의 종이 있습니다. 그중 일부는 "종교 개혁 이전"으로, 헨리 8세가 로마에서 분리되기 전부터 탑에서 흔들리고 있었습니다. "타협" 시계: 낮에 가면 시계 소리를 들을 수 있습니다. 밤에 울려야 하는지에 대한 최근 지역 논쟁이 있었습니다. 매우 "영국 마을"다운 움직임으로 타협했습니다. 이제 이웃이 잠을 잘 수 있도록 밤 9시부터 오전 6시까지 조용히 유지됩니다!

* Historical Significance: A church was first founded on the site in the 9th century by Alfred the Great. The current building incorporates various architectural styles, including Norman, Early English, and Perpendicular, reflecting centuries of reconstruction and expansion. * Connection to Sir George Somers: The grave of Sir George Somers, who founded the colony of Bermuda and whose adventures are said to have inspired Shakespeare's "The Tempest," is located under the vestry. * Dorset County Symbol: St. Wite is the patron saint of Dorset, and her cross was adopted as the new county symbol in a public vote in 2008. The church continues to be an active Church of England parish church and is lovingly cared for by a local group, the Friends of St Candida.

Undisturbed Relics of St. Wite (St. Candida): It is one of only two churches in England (the other being Westminster Abbey) that still contains the undisturbed relics of the saint to whom it is dedicated, St. Wite (also known by her Latin name, St. Candida). This has created an unbroken line of pilgrimage to her shrine for over 1,000 years. "Cathedral of the Vale": It is known locally as "The Cathedral of the Vale" due to its historical significance and prominence in the Marshwood Vale. * Ancient Pilgrimage Site: The church has been a significant pilgrimage site for over a millennium, with pilgrims historically drawn by the reputation of St. Wite and the belief in the healing powers of her shrine. The shrine has three holes in its base where the sick could place body parts or offerings in hopes of miraculous healing. * Survival of the Reformation: Remarkably, the shrine and its relics survived the English Reformation, during which many such sacred sites were destroyed.

A hard hill to get up, but the views are worth it

Situated on the Dorset/Devon border and just two miles from Lyme Regis, Charmouth is a quiet, unspoilt village, with lots of amenities. The village has a rich history going back hundreds of years, and was once on the main road from London to Exeter. As a consequence of this historical strategic location the village has seen many important visitors over the years with King Charles II staying in the village during his escape to France, and Jane Austen who, as a regular visitor, once wrote that Charmouth was “a nice place for sitting in unwearied contemplation”. Fortunately these days the busy roads bypass the village, and Charmouth retains the charm and tranquility it has enjoyed for hundreds of years. Charmouth is best known for its beach. Recognised by UNESCO as a World Heritage site, the local coastline provides an unique insight into millions of years of evolution, and of course is best known as the Jurassic Coast due to the large number of fossils that can be found on the beaches. However, the beach is not just for fossil hunters, having large areas of sand and gently shelving waters that make it an ideal family day out when the sun shines. The local cafés, shops and the Charmouth Heritage Coast Centre provide food, drink, beach goods and information about the geology and fossils. Within the village Charmouth has a wide range of shops to ensure that visitors do not need to venture further afield during their stay. Everything from daily essentials, household and holiday goods, gifts, and beauty salons all available right in the village centre. A range of pubs, restaurants and cafés give a fantastic choice of refreshments from breakfast to dinner. As part of both the Jurassic Coast and in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty it is possible to lose yourself in sights, countryside and wildlife.

Beach huts are available to hire for the summer or winter seasons. They can also be hired on a daily or weekly basis between May-September. Full time residents of Charmouth Parish may enter an annual lottery for a number of huts that are made available for the summer season at 50% of the full price. These are normally located on the grass area. The lottery also includes blue huts on the beach which are restricted initially to residents with children aged under 18. The lottery takes place at the beginning of April each year. ** PLEASE NOTE THAT SEASONAL HUTS ARE FULLY BOOKED FOR THIS YEAR AND THE SUBSTANTIAL WAITING LIST IS CURRENTLY CLOSED**
