Wimborne All Saints or All Hallows

 

Extracted from Hutchins History of Dorset, Volume III, 1868 by Dorinda Miles

 

Upwinborn All Saints, Upwinborn Carentham, or Karencham….

a tithing in Cranborne hundred, and so placed in the Nonae Rolls, was formerly a distinct parish, but now united to, and included in, Wimborne St Giles, from which it lies half a mile north.

 

THE CHURCH OF WIMBORNE ALL SAINTS

 In 1291, the church of Wimborne Karentham seems to have been the mother church, and that of Wimborne St Giles is styled only the chapel of St Giles. It was a mean fabric, and on its union with Wimborne St Giles, 1733, was neglected and pulled down. Here were formerly three bells.

  

THE RECTORY

 ..seems to have been entire 1291, but not long after was divided into two moieties. The patrons of one were the Matravers's and FitzAlans; the patroness of the other the abbess and convent of Tarent, till the Dissolution, when it came to the Crown, which afterwards seems to have been entire patron. The Earl of Shaftesbury is the present patron.
