- Nether Cerne, Dorset (All Saints' Church)
This pastoral and picturesque riverside church by an old manorwas built primarily in the 13th-century.
All Saints has a stone tower topped with pinnacles and vigorously carved angel-gargoyles. Inside is an unusual melon-shaped 12th-century font bowl, probably from an earlier church here.

If the access information for this church is listed as 'Keyholder nearby', this means that the key is kept by one of our invaluable volunteer 'keyholders', who usually live just a short walk from the church and can give visitors the key; sometimes this is a nearby hotel, pub, library, art gallery or other venue. You will find instructions explaining how to get the key when you arrive at the church.
Due to the historic nature of our buildings, only a very small number of them have heating or running water meaning that they can be cold, and very rarely have toilet facilities. The lighting is usually operated via a 'push button' timer or a motion sensor. We do apologise for any inconvenience the lack of facilities may cause.
