Sherborne Abbey
Fascinating Abbey with very informative husband and wife guides. Intriguing that at one stage the monks stoned up part of the Abbey so they couldn't mingle with the local population. Thank you.

Sherborne Abbey, former Saxon Cathedral, Benedictine Abbey and since the dissolution of the monasteries by Henry VIII in 1539, the parish church of Sherborne, otherwise known as the Abbey Church of St. Mary the Virgin.Situated in the centre of Sherborne and surrounded by green lawns, it is a beautiful building, both inside and out.Inside the abbey are many plaques, memorials and flags commemorating the various Dorset regiments and the men of Sherborne and Dorset who made the greatest sacrifice whilst serving during the 19th century and the the great conflicts of the 20th century.Visiting is free and highly recommended.

This is one of the best Abbeys in the country we’ve been. The fantastic 13-15th century ceiling of the abbey was a highlight of our visit. Love the stained glass windows and wood work in the abbey is amazing. So much details. Abbey is free to entry. Parking nearby is free for two hours. High street is nearby for coffee and tea and cakes. We had a pleasant afternoon here.

I'm came across the Abbey by chance and was pleased I did so. Nestled amongst other building built with the same Ham Stone,its like steepping back in time. Staff were friendly and helpful. This certainly has the wow factor and steeped in history,its certainly worth a visit. Do look out for the famous misericords along with the other carvings.

One of the most beautifully preserved and well kept religious buildings I've been in. It's a very beautiful place to be, and I really do enjoy popping in from time to time, sit down and just being in a peaceful and relaxing place. Staff and volunteers are always kind, and it's a very friendly environment. Do donate to support this wonderful abbey.

The Abbey shows off the best of the architectural inheritance and Christian tradition. Whether you come to pray or just appreciate its beauty, the setting is embued with its significance in the lives of others over the centuries.The scripture verse, fine organ, bells and stained glass windows bring the carved stone and wood to life. Peaceful but with purpose, it offers a resting place for the soul and looks to the community for relevance. A message of love and hope in the world.
