As Swanage came into view
the priest may have
quickened his pace to be on
time for the service.
St Mary’s Parish Church in
Swanage was a chapel of
ease to Worth until 1487
when it had its first rector.
The tower is the oldest
remaining part of the
building and it is thought it
could have been used as a
refuge from seafaring
marauders when the sea
used to stretch inland from
the present coastline.
