Description
Luck was with me when I entered The Priory to take photos of the interior. The choir was rehearsing for a concert performance. The church was beautiful with the choir members assembled in their places. The sounds were beautiful too.
Christchurch Priory is a colossal church in Christchurch, a town five miles east of Bournemouth in Dorset. At 311 feet, it is the longest parish church in England.
The church is notable for more than just its size. In Simon Jenkins' book England's Thousand Best Churches, Christchurch Priory is one of only 18 churches awarded five stars. Jenkins writes, "The church is sensational. The view of the reredos as climax to the Norman nave and crossing arch is a coup de théâtre of church architecture.
