Church of Saint Peter - Abbotsbury Winter Walk | January 2024

            The remains of the Benedictine Abbey of St Peter are scant, with the north wall's foundations visible in the churchyard and additional ruins near the Tithe Barn. A layout plan is displayed inside the church, where two medieval sarcophagi also reside. The churchyard, part of the Dorset Wildlife Trust's Living Churchyard Project, is maintained by volunteers and features a 2000 Millennium yew and a memorial seat.

St Nicholas Church, built alongside the Abbey in the late 14th or early 15th century, contains historical features such as a 15th-century tower, a Purbeck marble effigy of an early abbot, and a reredos from 1751. The church has undergone various renovations, including the installation of a barrel-vaulted ceiling in 1638 and reordering in 1996 to accommodate community events. It houses six bells, a Jacobean or Tudor pulpit, Georgian Royal Arms, and mid-18th-century brass chandeliers. The font is original, with a modern base.

The church contains minimal ancient stained glass, with some memorial windows and tablets, including one for Captain Benbow of the RAF. An ancient stone carving on the tower may date back to the Abbey's 11th-century founding, symbolizing the HolyTrinity.
