Roadside stream, Iwerne Minster 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.

The room was clean, although the bathroom was on the small size. Didn’t use the swimming pool as It was too busy for the time we wanted to go. The car didn’t have much selection of beers on tap, but most Hotels don’t for some reason.
