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, including the Dorset Online Parish Clerk Project where volunteers are transcribing parish records and putting them online.
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.
