St. Mary's Church, Woolland  ST77613 06985 (Lead authors: SA and KJH)

Woolland is a small village on the lower slopes of Bulbarrow Hill. The present church only dates from 1856 but is the fourth to be built on the present site. 
The walls are mostly Corallian Trigonia Clavellata Beds, with Ham Hill Stone dressings – that is windows, doorways and string courses.

In the church interior are  some larger columns of a grey crinoidal 'marble', which is probably Carboniferous Limestone. (see photo below)

The interior of the church is very impressive, with a pulpit of Caen Stone. The chancel arch, and the side arches are Bath Stone, a very fine oolitic limestone.
