I've attended several concerts at SJE, the most recent being on 29 June 2019 (a recital of harpsichord and classical guitar music). The church is the venue for "SJE Arts" and hosts events regularly. The acoustics are excellent and the church has several interesting features, including a set of paintings of the Stations of the Cross around the nave and an intricate rood screen. The stained glass window above the altar and needlework altarpiece are also worth a look!

Dorchester Abbey is a significant historic building, having been a place of worship, witness and pilgrimage for more than a millennium. It has a unique C13th sculptural stained glass Jesse Window, an C11th lead font and C14th wall paintings. A Museum and Tea Room is open from April to September. Tours available (see website for more details).

We visited the Abbey early on a Saturday morning and were the only visitors. The first impression is the vastness of the building being two expected widths for much of its length, the right hand side part containing various burial artefacts, the left hand side being a ‘normal’ style Church of England. The most stunning part of the main Church is the lovely window behind the altar that was restored by American friends in memory of Sir Winston Churchill, why they did this wasn’t mentioned but it is certainly magnificent. Other noteworthy features are the carvings on the North Chancel window and the wooden roof structure. Strangely the (new looking) Choir stalls look as though they are made of oak making them out of character with the rest of the furniture in the Church.

Bampton was one of the stops on our Downton Abbey tour. There were many DA filming locations in the village, including the church. The church was the site of weddings and funerals, and the cemetery was also in the series. The church is very pretty inside and has stained glass windows. A couple weddings had taken place in the days before our visit and the church was filled with beautiful flowers and it smelled like a florist shop!

The Church is super cute and peaceful. It is a little way on a path that is nice. The cemetery is pretty small, which made it easy to find CS Lewis’s grave. Very special spot.
