Parkstone: Romanian Orthodox church of St. Dunstan of Canterbury
Parkstone: Romanian Orthodox church of St. Dunstan of Canterbury
This extraordinary building in Parkstone was built in 1913 as the parish church of St. Osmund, Parkstone. It remained so until the late 1990s when its closure was forced by structural unsoundness. It was even thought that the roof might collapse imminently. However, it has survived its battle and on 14 April 2005 it changed hands and became the Romanian Orthodox Church's first acquisition in the UK.
