Holnest: parish church of St. Mary

Image: © Chris Downer Taken: Unknown

Holnest parish consists mainly of a scattering of dwellings down the A352 between Sherborne and Cerne Abbas. This church therefore has something of an isolated feel, and is set back from the road somewhat. There was a large, imposing, ornate mausoleum in the churchyard but it was demolished in the 1930s.
