Wimborne Minster
Extract from
J G Harrod's & Co Postal & Commercial Directory 1865
Wimborne,
or Wimborne Minster, a parish, market town, and railway station, in the
division of East Shaston and hundred of Badbury, diocese of Salisbury,
archdeaconry of Dorset, and deanery of Wimborne, distant 100 miles from London,
22 E by N from Dorchester, 10 SE from Blandford, 6N from Poole, situated on the
station of the Southampton and Dorchester railway and the small river Wim or
Allen, from which, and the Saxon word 'bourne' (a brook), and its minster,
is derived its name. It was a Roman
station named Vindogladia. The town
is governed by a constable and a bailiff, with tithing-men for the several
tithings within the parish, who are appointed by the manorial court, held
annually at Michaelmas. Magistrates
meet at the police court every alternate Friday; Thomas Rawlins, Esq., Clerk to
Magistrates. The town is of great
antiquity, justly celebrated for its venerable collegiate church. This ancient edifice, which is dedicated to St Cuthberga, is
of a cross shape with two square towers one of them rising from the centre
of the roof, and the other terminating the west end; a lofty spire, which
surmounted the former, is said to have fallen down in the year 1660; the whole
structure is divided in the manner of a cathedral, and consists of a chancel,
nave, choir, and aisles, a transept, a cross aisle, and three porches; the
chancel and choir were restored in 1835 and 1855, and the nave in 1857; full
cathedral service is performed on Sundays and on Wednesday evenings, and prayers
daily. Under the church is a fine
vaulted crypt. In this church have
been interred some royal, and numerous noble personages, most of whom were
anciently commemorated by suitable monuments; several of high antiquity are
still preserved, particularly that of Ethelred, the brother of Alfred the Great.
Prior to the Reformation this church had no fewer than ten altars for the
celebration of mass, all composed of costly materials; nor were its relics
inferior to its riches. A nunnery
was built by Cuthberga, daughter of Kenred, King of Wessex, in 713.
The tithing of Holt has been formed into a separate district for
ecclesiastical purposes, and a chapel and school-houses built. The living is a peculiar, in the gift of the governors of
Queen Elizabeth's Grammar school here, by a charter of whom the tithes of the
parish are vested in such governors; annual value £2,500, which amount is
expended for the support of three clergymen at £250 each, the Masters of the
Grammar School, sixteen choristers and an organist.
The three incumbents are the Rev. Henry Good, LL.B, the Rev. Henry P.
Cookesley, and the Rev. Charles Onslow, M.A.
There are chapels for the Baptists, Wesleyans, and Independents.
St Margaret's hospital (or almshouses), Courtnay's Hospital, and a
school and almshouse at Pamphill, in this parish, are among the charities.
Besides these there are several charities vested in the ministers of the
minster, the schoolmasters of Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School, and others.
At
Shag's Heath is an enclosure of several fields, in one of which, in a ditch
under an ashen tree (visited by the curious, and inscribed with a number of
names), was taken the ill-advised and unfortunate Duke of Monmouth after his
flight from the battle of Sedgmoor. The
market day is Friday, and the fairs are the Friday before Good Friday, and the
14th September, for horses, cattle, and cheese, and there is the
monthly sale of cattle, horses &c., by public auction.
The gasometer has been enlarged to enable a better supply of gas, which
previously was very deficient; cost £350.

Wimborne
parish contains 11,966 acres, and in 1861 a population of 4,807. Wimborne is the head of a union of 25 parishes.
The workhouse is a brick building, and can accommodate 250 inmates;
average number is 110. The principal inns are the Crown hotel and the King's Head
inn, posting-houses. The Free Grammar School was originally founded by Margaret,
Countess of Richmond, and was re-established by Queen Elizabeth.
It is now administered under the provisions of a scheme obtained from the
Court of Chancery in the year 1848. The
present handsome and commodious school-house, which is in the Elizabethan style,
was completed in 1851. The
establishment consists of a head classical master, second master, a teacher of
foreign languages, a drawing master, and an English master.
The head and second masters receive pupils into their houses, and the
course of education pursued in the school is designed to prepare pupils for the
universities and for other pusuits. The
school is open to all England at an annual cost of three guineas (now raised to
five). Here is a National school
and a British school. The cemetery
is situated on the Blandford Road. It
is neatly laid out with shrubs, &c., and is well adapted for the solemn
purpose it is used.
