Background
History
The 11th- and 13th-century church is located between the village and the coast. Its location some distance from the modern centre of Binstead probably indicates a medieval village associated with the quarries in the church's vicinity. Most of the chancel is of herringbone masonry. The original nave was replaced in 1844 and enlarged in 1875 by the addition of the north aisle. The bellcote dates from 1925 and contains a pre-reformation bell believed to have come from the original, now ruined, Cistercian Quarr Abbey. On 7 June 1969, the church was seriously damaged by fire. It was restored and rededicated in February 1971. Many stained-glass windows were destroyed and replaced by new designs…
