Warborough Village

Highlight • Pub

There was a chapel in Warborough as early as 1140 and so there are remains from the 1200s within the walls of St Laurence's Church. A church well worth seeing in this pretty little village.

The Abbey Church of St Peter and St Paul, better known as Dorchester Abbey, is Dorchester's parish church and also hosts parts of the Dorchester-on-Thames Festival. A beautiful monastery church with a fantastic organ, a visit is definitely recommended.
