Description
The Church of St Hubert is a parish church located on Blandford Road in Corfe Mullen. It dates back to the 13th century, with the nave and chancel from that period. The porch and west tower were added in the 14th century, and there were extensions in 1841, a vestry added in the mid-19th century, and restorations carried out in 1850, 1865, 1930, and 1949. The building is constructed from rubble carstone (ironstone) with limestone dressings, and the north side is cement rendered. The brickwork is in English bond, with buttresses that include thinner ones from the 19th century. The roof is tiled, with stone slates on the lower courses.
The church features a single cell chancel and nave, a former north porch that is now a chapel, a large south transept added in 1841, a western tower, and a vestry accessed through the original priest's door. The windows include lancets, with a triple lancet at the east end, two Perpendicular windows on the north side of the nave, and coupled traceried windows high in the south transept and chapel from the 19th century. The tower has three stepped stages, diagonal buttresses, and an early 16th-century window above the west door, which serves as the entrance.
Inside, the church has a 15th-century roof featuring a plaster barrel-vaulted ceiling with moulded ribs and carved bosses, which is integrated with a matching roof above the south transept. The 15th-century Purbeck font has a panelled octagonal bowl on a plain stem and moulded base. There is a gallery at the west end with a panelled front, brought forward diagonally to a short square centre, resting on six thin spiral cast-iron columns. Another gallery at the south end of the transept has a flat panelled front supported by four thin metal columns. The church also displays a Royal Coat of Arms for George III.
