Storm clouds over Dorchester abbey

The original church at Dorchester was built by St. Birinus who converted the Saxon King Cynegils and his court to Christianity, and the church eventually became the cathedral of Wessex before being demolished after the Norman conquest. It was replaced by an Augustinian abbey that, after dissolution, eventually became the parish church.
