Kingston, Dorset.

High up on the Purbeck Hills.

The Church of St James is a large Victorian church in Kingston on the Isle of Purbeck, Dorset. The first church in Kingston was considered unsatisfactory by the 3rd Lord Eldon, and is now a private dwelling. Lord Eldon commissioned G. E. Street to design the new church, which cost £70,000, a huge amount of money at that time. It is designed in the Gothic Revival style and is now known as 'The Cathedral of the Purbecks' and is still a local landmark today. Grade I listed.
