St Michael
Over Compton, Dorset
The church stands next to Over Compton House, the home of the Goodden family.
The church has a 13th century chancel but the whole of the rest of the church is, unusually, the product of one building campaign, of about 1470, and is fashionably embattled.
Yetminster, Dorset
Of that period inside the church are several delightful small sculptures, including a fox being hung by geese, the remains of much painted decoration in the roof, and several benches, some with poppy heads.
