Beautifully set in a pretty, rambling, village, and with an early 16th century priests' house next door, St Andrew's is an exceptionally attractive church, and has one of only three medieval spires to be found in Dorset.

Outside the curtain wall of his 12th century castle, Bishop Roger of Salisbury built a Norman church, dedicated to St Mary Magdalene. This building was for the use of his tenants and retainers who, drawn into a close colony outside the Castle walls, formed what was to become some hundred years later the Borough of Castleton.
The church stands among the trees on the bank of the River Frome. Beyond are peaceful meadows and the rush of the water. There would have been a stone built church here in Saxon times, probably before 787 AD. In that year the Danes came in from the sea, raiding these parts, and burning the Saxon churches.
Glastonbury Tor has been a site of religious significance for over 1000 years and is known as being one of the most spiritual sites in the country. As well as its close links to Christianity, its pagan beliefs are still very much celebrated.
