Whilst only a humble parish church this astonishing building CHRISTCHURCH PRIORY is larger than 21 of our nation’s cathedrals and the longest parish church in the country. It has been a place of worship for over 1000 years with the establishment of a Priory since the reign of Edward The Confessor. It stands in the town of its name at the confluence of the Rivers Stour and Avon. This majestic church with its 13 magnificent bells, two of which were cast in 1370, will be ringing out reminding the south of Dorset that it is ST. GEORGE’S DAY.
