Beautifully set in a pretty, rambling, village, and with an early 16th century priests' house next door, St Andrew's is an exceptionally attractive church, and has one of only three medieval spires to be found in Dorset.
Trent, Dorset
Its 14th and 15th century interior is packed with interest, including a 15th century font and cover, 16th century bench ends, and a 17th century Flemish carved pulpit.
Pride of place is taken by the superb 16th century screen, which is one of the best in Dorest.
Over Compton, Dorset
The church stands next to Over Compton House, the home of the Goodden family.
Sherborne, Dorset
The great golden Hamstone bulk of Sherborne Abbey presides benignly over its little medieval town.
Castleton, Dorset
Outside the curtain wall of his 12th century castle, Bishop Roger of Salisbury built a Norman church to be used by his tenants and retainers.
