Our Churches
The Bridge Benefice is no more. St Mary's, Sturminster Marshall is now in the Benefice of Red Post; St Stephen's, Kingston Lacy and St Bartholomew's, Shapwick are now part of the Wimborne Villages Benefice.
This website highlights what's going on in our three separate churches, so do continue to visit.
With the Bridge Benefice gone, the Bridge Benefice Choir cannot continue. But please visit our Music page to hear some of the many performances the choir put together during lockdowns. On that page you can also hear our concert choir (the Dorset Bridge Choir), which is going from strength to strength and preparing for their next concert on Sunday 8th May 2022.
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.
