Church of England (Anglican)
The church is one of the oldest in Dorset: much of the structure is Saxon, with 12th century Norman re-fitting inside and doors and buttresses. It was restored in 1869 after a period of decay.Benjamin Jesty, a farmer living at Downshay, is buried in the churchyard—'an upright and honest man,' who vaccinated his wife against smallpox in 1774 and thereby antedated Edward Jenner in the use of cowpox material.
