Dist:0.3km<br/>Iwerne is an ancient British (Celtic) river-name, first recorded as Iwern broc in the mid-10th century but much older than that, probably meaning 'yew-tree stream'. Iwerne Minster is recorded as Evneminstre in the Domesday Book of 1086, but its first appearance is in a Saxon charter dated 871 where it is simply ywern or hywerna. The affix is Old English mynster '(church of) a monastery' with reference to the early possession of this estate by Shaftesbury Abbey.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Don't let the timber framing fool you! This house was built in 1923, and must represent a very late example of the Arts and Crafts Movement's style of architecture. This was at its most popular from about 1880 until just before the start of the First World War. Oak House is Grade II Listed. This home was built by the architect M. H. Baillie Scott for Sir John Ismay of the White Star Lines. It was built as Iwerne Minster's village hall. Upon Ismay's death his estate turned it into a private house. M. H. Baille Scott was the greatest of the late 19th & early 20th century architects, he influenced most of the best known architects of his generation.
