St Cuthbert's Old Church, Oborne Heritage

An enchanting small building in golden stone, sandwiched between the A30 and the main-line from London.

Only the chancel survives of the 1553 church, which must have been one of the last to be built before the Reformation; interesting inscriptions over the east and north windows testify to it's origins. Inside are medieval slip tiles and 17th century communion-rails, pulpit and monuments; the pillar-piscina comes from the redundant church at North Wooton.
