Our Churches
Until last year the three churches of St Mary's, Sturminster Marshall, St Stephen's, Kingston Lacy, and St Bartholomew's, Shapwick formed the Bridge Benefice. Sadly the Bridge Benefice ceased to exist in May 2021. St Mary's, Sturminster Marshall is now in the Red Post Benefice; St Stephen's, Kingston Lacy and St Bartholomew's, Shapwick are now part of the Wimborne Villages Benefice.
For a few more months this website will serve our three separate churches. Do continue to visit to see what's happening in each of our churches.
The photo at the top of the page (copyright Pauline Simmonds) shows White Mill Bridge, where the three parish boundaries meet. There has been a mill here on the River Stour for centuries. Now in the care of the National Trust, it is well worth a visit.
Happy New Year!
Please note: during January and February 2022, St Stephen's 9.15am Communion Service (2nd Sunday of the month) will take place in St Bart's church, and their Family Service (4th Sunday of the month) will take place in Pamphill Village Hall, just along the road from the church.
