I have created a separate page for each church, where you will also find additional information such as [a] Explorer map number and the Grid references, which will be 6 figure if taken from a map or 10 figure if taken from my gps, [b] bibliography,[c] details of church bells and [d] any village or town related web sites.
Click on any link to view either the photo or the separate page and use your back button to return to this page.
I am happy for you to use any photograph provided you let me know and include an acknowledgement on your site.
If you know of any other C of E churches not photographed or not included in this list please let me know.
Some of the churches are on private property and are not accessible to the general public without permission of the owner.
Please note that some Dorset OPC links have changed and it is a major job to check and amend circa 400 pages. You can access the Dorset OPC (Online Parish Clerk) site at here
