Work in progress

Assigned names are the nominal lead. Maybe guidelines for cooperation can be agreed by Jan 31st 2020 i.e. role of Lead and others in relation to contributions to the page.
Pete Bath
Durweston, St Nicholas - WLBS & flint
Fifehead Magdalen, St Mary - Corallian.
Long Crichel, St Mary - Locked & disused but access can be arranged.  (C19th Pierre de Caen stone)
Corfe Castle - the castle - Burr and Thornback - along with annotations upon the RCHM derived map - or we colour it “our way".
Wimborne Minster (with PS, WGT, JT et al)
St Georges, Fordington

Pat Snelgrove
St Georges, Fordington – I need to check one thing in the interior which is not possible at the moment.
Sturminster Newton - Ready but needs checking as it was done a long time ago; Will send in after Christmas; PJB  may wish to check this as it is home territory when he has the time. Forgotten but will resurrect as time allows.
Gillingham – This is one that I did recently while Roger was doing DIGS conservation at Todber. It is part done but long term as requires another visit and not local; DIGS have just had a mammoth session at Todber so I will need to press gang Roger to come with me. I need to check records which are held at Gillingham Museum- not possible at the moment.
Burton Bradstock - Writing up in progress plus another visit maybe but no distance problem involved. Need to check exterior
East Stour – Done, very short, will submit after Christmas.
Maiden Newton - In hand, checked out church but will do when I have the time as local; not started
​Cattistock - Visited with Sheila in poor weather; partly written up but requires another visit to complete photos; no problem, just finding time, and can be combined with visit to Maiden Newton. Can probably write this one as time allows
Langton Matravers  - First class set of photos but no notes that I can find; must wait for another visit to complete.
Stockwood – Done but forgotten, will submit after Christmas. 
To be written up:
Beaminster – All pictures taken, not sure what the problem with this one is but is not written up
Bradpole – Was written up; not sure why it was not sent – will check
Gussage St Andrew
Gussage St Michael
Gussage All Saints
Margaret Marsh
Sutton Waldron
Fontmell Magna - Need to check out records at History Centre
Shroton – Ready but for one minor problem
Sutton Waldron
To be visited soon: Pimperne, Sixpenny Hanley
​Kelvin Huff
Charminster
Sydling St.Nicholas
Dorchester St.Mary's
Town Trails

Poundbury (PS, PJB, KJH)
Dorchester (PS, KJH)

Unattached
