St John's, Spetisbury Number of views as of 19th January 2017 = 500. Regular visitors to my portfolio will know that I enjoy taking pictures of local (and not so local) churches. The county of Dorset in the south of England has a wealth of them. The church of St John the Baptist, in the village of Spetisbury (on the A350 Poole to Blandford road) is another fine example. Parts of the church, including the tower (which contains 6 bells) date from Norman times, though much of the church was rebuilt in the 1850s. Date: 17th October 2010.
