Wimborne Minster is a historic market town in Dorset, England, named after its prominent twin-towered Minster church which dates back to the 8th century. The town, situated at the confluence of the rivers Stour and Allen, has preserved much of its medieval character and architectural heritage.
The Minster church itself is a centerpiece of the town's cultural heritage, known for its remarkable chained library, one of only a few surviving in Europe, and its astronomical clock. The town center features well-preserved historic buildings, including timber-framed structures from various periods.
Wimborne Minster has maintained its traditional market town atmosphere while developing as a cultural center, hosting various events throughout the year that celebrate its heritage and arts. The town's rich history is also reflected in its Model Town, a 1/10th scale replica of Wimborne as it was in the 1950s, which serves as both a tourist attraction and a valuable historical record.
