Find a church

Tucked away in a quiet and modest part of the village, St John's church is handsome from the outside, being built of a mixture of stone and flint, but it is the inside that makes this church the gem of this part of Dorset.

St Mary's is a fine village church first built by the monks of nearby Barlynch Priory in the early 13th century on the site of an old Saxon church (the manor was held in the 11th century by King Harold's mother, hence Regis).

The Olive Tree Branch is a large prominent building at a roundabout on the top of a hill in Luton, which includes an impressive stained glass window in the south wall of the church above the central aisle, within the church’s calm, tranquil setting.

In a small, very rural hamlet, Trusley's formal little church is a surprise, being built of red brick in the classical style and dating from 1713.

Dating from the 13th and 14th centuries, the church commands a large open space surrounded by pretty Georgian houses and as befitting this large village is quite large.

The church was built as a Victorian school room then donated to the Catholic church by the Cornwallis West family of Ruthin Castle.
