    Beaminster Facts
    Did you know…

    1. Domesday
      Originally known as Bebingmynster in the 7th century, the town was of high enough status to have been included in the Domesday Book in 1086, with a population 300. The suffix ‘minster’ refers to a church or holy order.
    2. Fire!
      During the English Civil War, Beaminster was captured by the Prince Maurice stayed overnight with his troops. During their stay, a stray musket ball hit a thatched building, starting a fire that destroyed roughly three quarters of the entire town.
    3. Not Again!
      There were two more major fires in 1684 and 1781, in both instances there was considerable damage to the town centre and many buildings pulled down and rebuilt.
    4. Beerminster
      Despite its small size, Beaminster must have a thirst. At the start of the 20th century the population of less than 3,000 was served by 17 pubs.
    5. Almost Famous
      The town was immortalised in Tess of the D’urbervilles. Dorset lad Thomas Hardy included many Dorset towns in his novels, often altering the real names. Beaminster, became ‘Emminster’.
    6. Bad Boy
      When His book was portrayed on the London stage, Hardy personally chose Gertrude Bugler to play Tess. However, she was sent packing by Mrs Hardy as Thomas was known for his love of women. He was 81 at the time.

    About

    Nestled in a bowl-shaped valley where the River Brit drifts lazily by, Beaminster is sufficiently off the beaten track to avoid major traffic jams but reassuringly close to large towns with all the big-name shops and brands. For those that prefer to shop local, support small business and reduce emissions, there’s plenty right on your doorstep.

    There’s also a good calendar of annual events plus a number of clubs and societies for anyone looking to try something new.

    Leisure

    History fans can enjoy the town museum. Once a year the area is brightened by the arrival of the Beaminster Festival which attracts musicians from across the country at a large picnic in the park.

    The town sits within the Cranborne Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty offering plenty of places for walking, riding and stables. Golfers moving to Beaminster can get into the swing at the nearby Bridport and West Dorset Golf Course.
