Canford Magna Parish Church, 13th century parish church in Canford Magna, England

The church features a combination of Saxon, Norman, and Mid Gothic architecture with a north tower positioned similarly to Exeter Cathedral's layout.

The original cruciform chapel, constructed during late Saxon times, now forms the chancel of the church and was managed by Bradenstoke Priory until 1539.

The church maintains six bells in its north tower, with five crafted by William Knight and a treble bell added in 1897 for Queen Victoria's Jubilee.

The parish provides regular services, hosts community gatherings, and offers live streaming options for those unable to attend worship in person.

The cemetery contains the remains of archaeologist Sir Austen Henry Layard, Baron Wimborne, Judge Sir Walter Shaw, and RAF serviceman Ellis Gawler.
