Chideock Roman Catholic Church

This was built in the 1800s, I gather, but it is near Chideock Castle, or the site thereof, which was where the local Catholics were ministered to after the Act of Supremacy and the criminalisation of Catholic practice and of priests.  Indeed, seven of Chideock's inhabitants were martyred for their faith – hung, drawn and quartered, that barbaric form of execution.

The church is of interesting architecture, in my view, but it's part of an old house which forms the history of this Dorset village.

The extra photos: the outside of this remarkable little place; and a panorama of the coast near by (from Golden Cap).
