St. Martin's Church, Wareham
Oil on board.
Dorset's oldest church, St Martin's in Wareham is a 1,000 years old and famous for housing a priceless effigy of Lawrence of Arabia.
St Martin's, as it now stands, represents the most complete example of a Saxon church in Dorset. Aspects showing its Saxon origin include a tall, narrow nave and chancel, late Saxon wall-arcading in the North West Isle and traces of a Saxon door.
