Description: St Mary's Parish Church - Beaminster Dating from the C13 and C15, its best feature is its magnificent early C16 west tower. The tower served a grim purpose after the Monmouth Rebellion of 1685, when the butchered quarters of those executed were hung like carrion from its lofty heights.
