St Mary's Church, Tarrant Hinton

Highlight • Religious Site

St Mary's Church in Tarrant Hinton, Dorset, is a charming medieval church with a rich history and several notable architectural features. It is one of several "Tarrant" villages named after the River Tarrant that flows through the area.
Medieval Origins: The church dates back to the 13th century, with some Norman elements surviving, such as the font and piscina.
Restorations and Additions: The church underwent a restoration in 1891. The chancel, by contrast, is largely Victorian, resulting from remodelling in 1874.
Materials: The walls are a mix of banded flint and Upper Greensand, with some Ham Hill Stone used for windows and Caen stone for the Easter Sepulchre. The tower is primarily Upper Greensand ashlar. The changing workmanship in the banding of materials can illustrate different dates of construction.
Tower: The 15th-century tower is heavily decorated with grotesque carvings and has a battlemented top.
South Door: The south door exhibits traditional Norman zigzag carving motifs
