Find a church

Milton Abbey occupies probably the most beautiful setting of any church in the county of Dorset, resting in a natural amphitheater surrounded by wooded hills, seemingly miles from anywhere.

The church looks down through its quiet rural village towards Milton Abbey.

Sitting literally underneath the legs of the old Briton Ferry Bridge which carries the A48.

This is a priory church, presented soon after 1100 to the Benedictine Abbey of Lonlay, near Falaise in Normandy, but later reclaimed by Henry V. It was later given to Eton College by Henry VI.

Though the earliest written records go back to the 12th century, it is believed that a Christian church has stood here for over 1300 years.

A Dorset gem saved by the ghost of Thomas Hardy.

Church, manor house and overall setting combine here to make a memorable scene.

Beulah Chapel, known locally as The Round Chapel was the only building to survive the controversial demolition of Groes village in 1975.
