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.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/10300/81fb245f-c095-415a-bf48-e715953363ab.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) [Photo](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/10300/81fb245f-c095-415a-bf48-e715953363ab.jpg) by [Trish Steel](https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/9274) ([Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 2.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0)) ## Visit Iwerne Minster Things to do ![](https://forever.travel-assets.com/flex/flexmanager/images/2026/02/06/expedia-sale-2026-desktop-us-ca.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1400&h=600&q=mediumHigh) ## The Annual Vacation Sale Members save up to 40% on hotels and homes.
