I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:
St Nicholas’ Church is a Church of England church in Abbotsbury, Dorset. The earliest parts of the church date to the 14th century, with later alterations and extensions over the following centuries, including the construction of the west tower and north chapel in the 15th century.
St Nicholas’ has been Grade I listed since 1956. In 2015, the World War I memorial in the churchyard, dating to around 1920, became Grade II listed.
The church is worth a visit in its own right, but as a recommendation to fly a drone over it, I would combine this with an overview of the village itself (many 16th century thatched houses) and the tithe barn from the same period 50 meters away.
Biggest draw in the area for me is St Catherine’s chapel up on the hill in front of the church with Chesil beach as a beautiful backdrop (see separate location flag) so I would combine the church, village, and chapel in a single visit.
The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 02/06/2025. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location. Landowner permission may be required before taking off.
