Church of St Hubert, 13th-century parish church in Corfe Mullen, England
St Hubert's Church is a 13th-century stone building in Corfe Mullen with a rectangular layout and a south transept. A church tower was added in the early 14th century and remains a defining feature of the structure.
The building began as a parish church in the 13th century and underwent expansion through the 14th century. Major changes came in 1841, when the north porch was converted into the vestry area.
The churchyard holds an ancient yew tree over a thousand years old and a 14th-century cross base, both marks of long Christian worship in this place. These living and stone elements speak to generations who prayed and buried their dead here.
The church sits on elevated ground south of the River Stour, making it visible from a distance. The churchyard and building are generally accessible for visitors to view the exterior at any time.
The building was constructed using local heathstone, a material chosen specifically for the dry ground conditions at this site. This selection of building materials shows how craftspeople adapted their construction to local surroundings.
