Wimborne Minster often referred to as just Wimborne is a market town in East Dorset county in South West England, and the name of the Church of England church in that town. Wimborne lies on the River Stour. It was an old Saxon settlement and the foundation of the Wimborne Minster dates back to the beginning of the 8th century. The present Minster, with its twin brown towers dominating the town, dates back to the 12th century. It is also home to the famous Quarterjack clock which is a 14th-century astronomical clock and is regarded as one of the most ancient working clocks in Europe. The casing on the wall contains the cogs which move the sun and moon around the face of the clock. The movement is in the belfry section of this beautiful old church. On the outside north wall of the Minster is a full-size Grenadier, called the Quarterjack, which strikes the quarter hours. The original figure of a monk was replaced during the Napoleonic Wars.

Wimborne Minster. What a fantastic Church building this is one of the best around. This is a Saxon church, with Norman and Gothic architecture. It is famed for its chained library and the tombs of King Ethelred, the brother of Alfred the Great, as well as the tombs of John Beaufort, Duke of Somerset, and his duchess, the maternal grandparents of King Henry VII of England. This Church is made of Dorset Limestone and New Forest Stone taken from local source. The Minster is dedicated to Saint Cuthburga the sister to Ine, King of Wessex and wife of Aldfrith, King of Northumbria who founded a Benedictine abbey of nuns at the present day minster around 705. Saint Walpurga was educated in the monastery, where she spent 26 years before travelling to Germany, following the missionary call of her mother's brother Saint Boniface. Leoba was also educated in this place. A monastery for men was also built around this time, adjacent to the abbey. Over the next hundred years the abbey and monastery grew in size and importance.

Having driven past this Theatre many times I decided to walk along the road with this building in and finally take my photos of this quaint old building. The Tivoli Theatre in Wimborne Minster, Dorset, was built in the year 1936 as a theatre and a cinema. It features a wide variety of Art Deco features which includes original chrome and Bakelite ( the old type plastic ) door handles. Threatened with demolition in 1979 for a road-building scheme that was later abandoned, the theatre fell into disrepair and closed in April 1980. After lengthy campaigning, volunteers restored the theatre throughout 1993, and the theatre re-opened to the public in November of that year. The building has many features associated with the year of the build.

The model town is one of the largest and longest established model towns in England. It depicts Wimborne at the time the model was made, in the 1950’s. It is a 1:10 scale construction , resulting in the model of the Minster being several feet high. The model shop windows accurately show the goods which the real shops were selling at the time. The exhibition also includes a model railway based on Thomas the Tank Engine, which was opened by Christopher Awdry and expanded in 2014. Children's story evenings are held at the model village. In all the time I have been around Dorset this day was the first visit for me. While still not as good as Godshill Model Village on the Isle of Wight it does remain a pleasant day out. The cafe here is very clean, good value, and pleasant staff. The day I attended here it was very hot a May bank holiday weekend. There is so much to see in this very old established town so be prepared to spend a full day here.

“All this twaddle, the existence of God, atheism, determinism, liberation, societies, death, etc., are pieces of a chess game called language, and they are amusing only if one does not preoccupy oneself with “winning or losing this game of chess”.” ―Marcel Duchamp
