Sherborne Abbey Dorset

Sherborne Abbey in Dorset was founded by St. Aldhelm in AD 705. Sherborne Abbey has developed from Saxon Cathedral to the worshipping heart of a monastic community and, finally, to one of England’s most beautiful parish churches. For many, it is still the ‘Cathedral of Dorset’ and the Benedictine heritage lives on in the daily offering of prayer and praise.

This site has been occupied since Roman times. During the restoration of 1849–58, excavations were carried out in which part of a Roman mosaic pavement was found deep beneath the floor, as well as evidence that the Saxon cathedral of AD 705 had been built on the site of a previous church.

If you have never visited the Abbey, and you get the opportunity to do so you will be given a warm welcome by the team of volunteers there.
