St Mary's Church in the deserted village of Tyneham in Dorset is a small church built of Limestone rubble dating from the 13th Century, the South tracept was rebuilt in the mid 19th century by the Rev. William Bond, the church contains memorials to the Bond family of Tyneham House. After the military took over the church was neglected and some fittings were moved, the bells and organ were moved to Steeple church and the Jacobean pulpit to Lulworth Camp. In the 1980s the village was used for the filming of Comrades, which tells the story of the Tolpuddle Martyrs. The church was fitted with a fibreglass tower and the village's Post Office Row was fronted with fibreglass cottages. Tyneham parish also includes the ruined Hamlets of Povington, Egliston & Worbarrow, cleared at the same time as Tyneham itself.
