Kingston is a small village on the Isle of Purbeck in the county of Dorset in southern England.

The village is surrounded by woods and stands at a height of over 400 ft (120 Metres) above sea level and can be seen from far away.

A chapel stood on the east side of the village and it was served by the Rector of Corfe Castle or his assistant.

It was designed by his son-in-law, George Repton, and largely followed the ground plan of the replaced chapel, embodying most of the old building material.

The tower, which is somewhat disproportionate in size to the rest of the church, was made large enough to contain a full ring of eight bells, which were cast and installed by John Taylor & Co., of Loughborough, in 1880.

[2] Inside the clustered pillars and other details are made of Purbeck marble, quarried from Lord Eldon’s estate and worked by his own craftsmen.

It did not replace the existing church immediately and in effect for over forty years it was the private chapel of the Eldon family.
