Dorset Historic Churches Trust’s annual Ride & Stride in aid of the county’s church buildings saw good support in and around Sherborne town.

Trust chairman Major General John Stokoe is seen here outside the Abbey awarding a ‘well done’ rosette to Jo Higgs’s dog – Jo has been a Ride & Stride supporter for many years.

A younger contingent ended their day of clocking up local churches with a visit to Castleton church in Sherborne before setting off back home to Oborne and Milborne Port.

The trust’s Deanery Area Representative for Sherborne & Melbury Shaun Leavey said: “It was great to see young and old out riding and striding on September 11 to raise funds for the maintenance of our marvellous Dorset church buildings. We are very grateful to all concerned.”
