- Bothenhampton, Dorset (Holy Trinity Old Church)
Tucked somewhat magically under the Downs at the end of a lane, this Medieval parish church is beautifully located inside a walled churchyard.
Only the 13th century chancel and 15th century tower survive from the Medieval parish church. For a while, after E S Prior’s new church was built in 1889, the chancel was used as a mortuary chapel.
An elegant early Georgian reredos forms a single composition with the communion rails.

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.
