Bridge to St Edwold's Church, Stockwood
This delightful little church in Dorset is considered to be the county's smallest. Rebuilt in the 15th Century, it is designated a Grade I Listed Building. The dedication to St Edwold (9th century) is unique in Dorset. Edwold was the brother of St Edmund the Martyr, King of East Anglia, and he lived as a recluse at nearby Cerne after his sibling’s death. It is not entirely clear why Stockwood church is dedicated to Edwold, but it is thought that he may have also had a cell here as well as at Cerne. (Wikipedia)
