Full Description
The earliest parts of the present church of Saint Mary are the 14th nave and its south arcade, but carved stone fragments re-set in the south wall of the aisle indicate a 12th century church. The chancel arch and the west tower are 15th century.
The Easter Sepulchre, carrying the initials of Thomas Weaver, rector 1514-36, is one of the most important monuments in North Dorset, and an early example of the conversion to the Italian Renaissance. <2-3>
