At the end of a quaint Ham stone hamlet street in Bradford Abbas, Dorset, there is a lovely 15th century church. The church tower is of Somerset quality, and it is especially impressive when viewed from the west. Inside, there are several fine carved pew ends, notably at the chancel entrance, a panelled roof, stone screen, and an unusually richly figured font, all from the 15th century, as well as a Jacobean pulpit. The woodwork has been kept light in colour, which adds to its appeal.
A beautiful cross can be found in the churchyard. The Rose and Crown pub has a grand stone fire place with good panelling above it, which was possibly built as a monks' rest-house in the late 15th century and later used as a malt house. The abbots of Sherbourne, whose moated manor residence was Wyke Farm half a mile to the east, owned the settlement until the Dissolution.
