ST6103 : The Church of St Mary Magdalene, Batcombe
near to Batcombe, Dorset, Great Britain
The Church of St Mary Magdalene, Batcombe
The church is the subject of one of a curious tale. The local squire, who was known as 'Conjuring Minterne', rode his horse off Batcombe Hill and knocked off one of the pinnacles on the tower. It is said that Minterne vowed that he would be buried neither in nor out of the church, so he was buried half in and half out of the Minterne Chapel.
I have used this car park many times when permission was given for us to park here when our syndicate shot on the local hillsides. Oh, yes the hills are very steep when you are one of the beaters!
