Founded by St. Aldhelm in AD 705, the Abbey has developed from Saxon Cathedral to the worshipping heart of a Monastic Community, and finally, to one of the most beautiful of England's parish churches. For many it is still the 'cathedral of Dorset', and our Benedictine heritage lives on in the daily offering of prayer and praise. If you have never visited the Abbey, I hope you can do so soon. Marvelling at this glorious building, may you also catch a glimpse of the Glory of God.

Built by Sir Walter Raleigh in 1594, Sherborne Castle has been the home of the Digby family since 1617. Prince William of Orange was entertained here in 1688, and George III visited in 1789. Splendid state rooms and collections of art, furniture and porcelain are on view in the Castle. ‘Capability’ Brown created the lake in 1753 and gave Sherborne the very latest in landscape gardening, with beautiful lakeside gardens and grounds.

'A Malicious and mischievous Castle' Built on a grand scale in the 12th century by Roger De Caen, Bishop of Salisbury, Sherborne was coveted by bishops and rival noblemen alike and had a long and chequered history. In 1592, Elizabeth I gave it to Sir Walter Raleigh who carried out substantial alterations, but by 1594 had built his country home, Sherborne Lodge, in the grounds. Sherborne Lodge is now known as Sherborne Castle. April to Oct (incl) daily from 10am.
