Two views of the church of St Nicholas, the left hand one is as you enter through the gate from the road. The right hand photo shows the valley below the church.

The pews may have come from Cerne Abbey at the Dissolution. The west window is 14th century panelling behind the altar is 16th or 17th century. 

Nothing is said about the font but the bowl appears to be of an earlier date than the stem.

A view to the south west from the church. The large farm house on the extreme left has architectural features from the 16th century.

A view from the church to the north west. Possibly Manor Farm in the distance?
