About Fencing in Wimborne
Wimborne in Dorset grew up around the Minster Church of St Cuthburga, founded around 705 AD by St Cuthburga, sister of King Ine of Wessex, as a Benedictine nunnery, which was later destroyed by Danish raiders and refounded as a collegiate church by Edward the Confessor in 1043. The large Norman building that stands today, though it retains some Saxon elements, was declared a Royal Peculiar by Edward II in 1318, granting it independence from the local diocese, and it holds several features more commonly found in cathedrals, including a vaulted crypt, a medieval astronomical clock and one of only a handful of surviving chained libraries anywhere in the world. Wimborne Minster, as the town is properly known, has grown up around this remarkable church for well over 1,300 years, and the building remains the town's defining landmark to this day.
