The Minster Church of St Cuthburga, WIMBORNE, Dorset

Saint Cuthburga founded a Benedictine Nunnery here at the start of the 8th century, though this was mostly destroyed by the Vikings in 1013. In 871, King Æthelred was buried here by his brother Ælfred the Great. The surviving Saxon Nave and Tower were rebuilt in the Norman style between 1120 and 1180 and minor Gothic alterations were made later.
