St Stephen's Church, Pamphill, Parish church in Pamphill, England.
St Stephen's Church is a parish church in Pamphill featuring a tower about 40 feet (12 m) high built from Studland sandstone and Purbeck stone, displaying Gothic architectural details throughout. The structure follows classic Gothic design principles and shapes the village landscape.
An earlier church building from 1229 stood on this site, built by John de Lacy after receiving Kingston Lacy manor. The current building was completed in 1907, replacing the older structure.
The east window shows Ralph Bankes with Christ and his sisters in biblical scenes including Mary and Martha, the Good Shepherd, and the Calming of the Storm. These images tell stories that catch visitors' eyes when they step inside.
The burial ground on the property is unconsecrated and does not serve as a burial site, which visitors will notice while exploring. A memorial stone cross at the entrance marks the location.
Eight Bankes family pews at the back of the church feature a replica of an astronomical clock from Wimborne Minster. These carved details with fleur-de-lys patterns are craftsmanship touches found nowhere else.
