Description


The parish church of Winterbourne Steepleton is dedicated to St. Michael and All Angels and is one of just two parish churches in the ancient county of Dorset to have a spire, the other being at Iwerne Minster. (There is also one at Trent which although now in Dorset, was formerly in Somerset). Rebuilt in the 12th century with a few fragments surviving from the pre-Norman era, it is a delightful little church. The tower and south porch were additions made in the fourteenth century. A north chapel was added in the 15th century when the chancel was rebuilt, only to be demolished two centuries later having fallen into decay, and then in 18th century replaced by a vault for the Lambert family
