Part of the churchyard. The Anglican parish church of St Michael was, except for the early 15th century tower, completely rebuilt in 1883 with some 13th and 16th century windows reset in the chancel. Constructed of rubble stone under tile roofs. Listed, grade II*, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1119232 Owermoigne is a small Dorset village adjacent to the A352 road, some 6 miles southeast of Dorchester. Originally a Saxon settlement by the name of Ogre that later became Oweres, and the ancient landholding family of Le Moigne came together to give the village its name. The village surrounds the church of St Michael and most working residents commute into Dorchester.
