Find a church

This beautiful church has been hallowed by prayers of the faithful for nearly 700 years and has many historic, beautiful and interesting features to discover.

This impressive church opened in 1901, replacing an earlier iron church.

The original church was built in the 12th century but the current St Augustine’s was designed by famous 19th century architect William Butterfield.

The church dates back to Saxon times and was largely rebuilt between 1864 and 1867, it features 12th century herringbone masonry on the south wall, rather unique in this part of the country.  

With its unusual dedication to St Mary, St Katharine & All Saints, Edington's battlemented church is of a size and splendour out of all proportion to the quiet little village in which it stands.

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 church gleams a golden hue in the setting sunlight which takes your breath away, even without its once high spire it dominates the village scape and stands out above everything else in the Steeple Ashton vale.

The Grade I church is set back behind cottages in a little close of its own.
