St. James | Kingston 1880 | Victorian Gothic Revival | Architect : George Street | Grade I The tiny hilltop village of Kingston is remarkable for having two churches. The later of the two with it's dominating position overlooking Corfe Castle is the more famous, having acquired the nickname of the 'Cathedral of the Purbecks’ because of its enormous proportions and lavish decorations The 3rd Earl of Eldon decided it was his Christian duty to provide the village with another church (the 1st Earl who became the Lord Chancellor had provided the village with a new church in the 1830's ) It took six years to build and cost £70,000 – the equivalent of at least £8 million today and became a private chapel for the Eldon estate until 1921 The Earl went to George Street, who had become one of the supreme proponents of what is now known as the 'High Victorian' movement who had designed the Royal Courts of Justice. This commission gave him the opportunity for the 'grandest church in the country'. Street's designs seem to have been influenced by 13th century French models, in particular a church in Norrey-en-Bassin, just outside Caen (Normandy). The stair turret on the north transept is a replica of that at Christchurch priory. The exterior of the church is from broken shell limestone - from the Earls own estate at Blashenwell Farm - hich has now got a pink hue caused by algae. The inteior is from two type of stone, both from Purbeck quarries: The columns and pillars are from polished Purbeck marble and the greater part of the interior from Portland stone. The chancel steps are from crinoidial Limestone from the the Peak District and the altar stands on Carrara marble from Tuscany

Atop the dramatic cliffs of St Aldhelm's Head, south of Worth Matravers village, stands a striking 12th-century chapel dedicated to St Aldhelm, the early 8th century Bishop of Sherborne. The chapel gives its name to the headland, which rises 354 feet above the rocky shore below. Near the chapel stands a coastguard lookout station and a radar research memorial.Very little is known about the chapel's origins. A local legend says that in AD 1140 a bridge and groom were drowned when their boat capsized off the headland, and the bride's father erected the chapel built the chapel in their memory. He paid for a light to be kept burning in the chapel to help sailors avoid his daughter's fate. It is entirely possible that the legend is based on fact, and the chapel was taken over by the church.

Built in the C12th century constructed as a place of worship for the local community, and its name is thought to refer to Saint Aldhelm, a 7th-century bishop of Sherborne who was known for his piety and learning. A small, simple building made of local limestone and Purbeck stone. It features a nave, a chancel, and a small tower added in the c14th. Chapel's architecture is typical of the Norman style, with rounded arches, a barrel-vaulted ceiling, and small, narrow windows. The chapel contains several interesting features and fittings, including: *c12th font, which is one of the oldest in Dorset *c14th piscina, which was used for washing the sacred vessels * c16th-century pulpit with intricate carvings **Restoration and Conservation** c19th , the chapel underwent a significant restoration, which included the installation of new windows, a new roof, and a new pulpit. **Worship and Community** Saint Aldhelm's Chapel is still used for worship today, with occasional services held throughout the year. The Chapel is one of the smallest chapels in England, with a capacity of just 20 people. * Said to be haunted by the ghost of a former priest, who was murdered in the chapel in the 14th century. * The chapel's tower is home to a colony of rare and endangered bats, which are protected by conservation laws.
