St Eustace
Ibberton, Dorset
St Eustace is a 14th century Grade II* listed Anglican church perched on a steep chalk escapement overlooking the village of Ibberton and the Blackmore Vale.
The church was probably founded around 1090AD and there are hints within the church of its very long history. They include a Saxon relic of the head of St Birinus (now in above the main door); some tiny 12th century windows, a 13th century font, 15th century gargoyles on the tower and an 18th century sundial. With its beautifully painted ceilings and lovely stained glass this is a gem of a village church.
