Lead author: PS
The church (1) stands in the east of the village about a mile south of the Blandford Bypass (A354). It was completely rebuilt in 1861 to designs by T. H. Wyatt for the Farquaharson family to serve the estate village. Apart from some interior fittings none of the former church survived.
There are three building stones used in the church which are knapped flint, Corallian limestone and Upper Greensand Shaftesbury Sandstone. The roof has grey slate tiles.
All the windows and buttresses are Corallian limestone. Access to the church is by a lean-to porch built against the west wall of the south transept (2).

The walls of the tower, north aisle and transepts are built with single horizontal bands of Corallian limestone with coursed knapped flint in between (3, 4). The quoins and buttresses are Corallian limestone.
The exterior walls of the chancel are built in a chequer pattern of Shaftesbury Sandstone and flint (5, 6). Occasional Corallian limestone blocks can be seen in the east wall which also has a granite war memorial plaque below the east window (7).
