The Parish of  St Mary's, Tarrant Rushton is part of the Two Rivers Benefice, Dorset. 

St Mary's Tarrant Rushton sits in a peaceful, idyllic position, at the north end of the village postcode DT11 8SD.

The church was consecrated in 1150 AD. Special features of interest include the layout of the church, which forms a Greek Cross, its 'acoustic pots', which makes the service more audible in the main body of the church, and is the only one of its kind in Dorset, and its ' leper window' and 'squint' 

The Two Rivers Benefice is committed to the safeguarding of children, young people and adults and has a Safeguarding Officer.
