there was already a newish church here when street began this one in 1873; one only 40 years old sits up the road. it is said that the earl was dicovered with the vicar's naked wife one day, he wearing only the duchess's hat, and barred him from his church, so the earl built a new one. well, it may not be true, but it's at least as likely as most stories of church foundations involving unknown saints an a lot more fun.

probably not made triangular at first, the simple jambs look c13, and could only have ever led to a very small chapel given the position of the existing windows.

plenty of zigzag on the chancel arch, which must be mid c12. it is said to be from elsewhere, but who would bother getting rid of one norman arch and replacing it with another in the period between 1540 and 1840? doesn't make sense to me.

the interior of the porch has large scale zigzag around it, looking late c12. could it have come from the north doorway of the nave? it is big boned for a doorway, and just might have been brought from elsewhere, but was either a doorway this shape, or a large chancel arch, given the shapes of the voussoirs. the thing is, why would anyone do such a thing before antiquarians became interested ? then again, plenty of arches are missing from corfe castle, there's nothing left of the chapel in the keep for example.
