About Us

St. Mary the Virgin is one of eight churches spread over the four parishes which make up the

Benefice of Eggardon and Colmers in south-west Dorset.  

Askerswell / Loders / Powerstock / Symondsbury Church takes its responsibilities surrounding the safeguarding of children, young people, and adults who may be at risk very seriously, and works in partnership with the Diocese of Salisbury to ensure that we work in accordance with best practice at all times.
