Founded by St. Aldhelm in AD 705, the Abbey has developed from Saxon cathedral to the worshipping heart of a monastic community, and finally, to one of the most beautiful of England’s parish churches. For many it is still the ‘cathedral of Dorset’, and the Benedictine heritage lives on in the daily offering of prayer and praise.
Being one of the most beautiful locations in Dorset in which to marry, prospective couples wishing to use the venue are encouraged to contact Reverend Canon Eric Woods for an appointment by telephoning the Vicarage on 01935 812452 or writing to him at The Vicarage, Abbey Close Sherborne DT9 3LQ.
