OUR CHURCHES

Our Churches

The list below should include every historic church in Dorset, with some information on its important features. We are not seeking to replace Pevsner!. We also provide a guide to its location and to churches nearby. The list is under complete re-development which will take time. We welcome comments on accuracy or indeed if your Dorset church is not included.
