Our small rural church dates from the 13th Century and is found in the hamlet of Winterborne Monkton, south of Maiden Castle and two miles from Dorchester.

We worship once a month, on the first Sunday at 11.15am with Holy Communion using the BCP. For family based services a more modern, simpler format is used. With a working farm at the heart of the village, we make a special point of celebrating Plough Sunday, Rogation, Lammas and Harvest.

The church is still supported by the local community, and a small band of volunteers ensure the church is well cared for. It is always a pleasure to welcome visitors and parents with children, for one of our friendly services. Well behaved dogs also welcome!
