[2] A new parish church, designed by William Slater, was built on a fresh site in 1862.

The volume on Dorset in the Buildings of England series by John Newman and Nikolaus Pevsner describe this as having "nave with bellcote, chancel and apse ... Slater's and Carpenter's typical single and twin lancets with pointed-trefoiled cusping".

[3] The remains of the Old St Cuthbert's Church are half a mile south, on the other side of the A30.

[4] The interior of the chancel contains a 17th-century pulpit and communion rails as well as a piscina and font from the former church at North Wootton.

The chancel lay neglected until the 1930s, when a new incumbent began to restore it, taking advice from A. R. Powys (secretary of the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings) who was also responsible for the restoration of the church at Winterborne Tomson, Dorset.
