Full Description
Parish Church of St Mary Magdalene. Formerly the Priory Church of Loders Priory. The western half of the north wall of the chancel dates fro the C12th, but the rest of the chancel is C13th, which may also be the date of the nave. The west tower and south porch are C14th, the south chapel C15th. Restored in 1836 and 1900. The font is Purbeck marble, square with 4 blind arcades on each face. Rounded stone item with attached shafts ca. 1200.

The blocked main North doorway appears to be Saxon, and may have led into the priory. A Norman shaft and scalloped capital East of the chancel window may indicate former rib-vaulting. <3>
