Melcombe Bingham
Melcombe Bingham is a village in central Dorset, England, situated in the West Dorset administrative district approximately northeast of Dorchester,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Melcombe Horsey )〕 southeast of Sherborne and westsouthwest of Blandford Forum.〔Bartholomew 1:100,000 National Map Series, sheet 4 (Dorset), published 1980, ISBN 0 7028 0327 8〕 It is surrounded by chalk hills of the Dorset Downs, though the village itself is sited in a basin of greensand and gault.〔Ordnance Survey Landranger 1:50,000 map series.〕
The names of places in this area are frequently muddled, with published sources providing different information.〔 Melcombe Bingham is the name of the current village, though in the fields near the church there is an abandoned medieval village called Bingham's Melcombe, and this latter name is sometimes used to describe the church and its adjacent manor. Writing in 1980, writer Roland Gant stated "whichever form I use, I always find that the person to whom I am speaking uses the other". Either way, the name of both the civil and ecclesiastical parishes is Melcombe Horsey.〔 There are two manor houses within the parish: the one by the church—owned for six hundred years (until the late 19th century) by the Bingham family—and another a couple of miles to the west in a coombe at Higher Melcombe (which is also called Melcombe Horsey by some sources).〔〔〔 Between the two manors is another settlement, situated along the road running north into the neighbouring parish of Hilton. This settlement is called either Hartfoot Lane or Ansty (including Lower Ansty, Ansty Cross, Higher Ansty, and Little Ansty), and, according to the Ordnance Survey, at its southern end it merges into part of Melcombe Bingham.〔〔〔
Melcombe Horsey parish has an area of 2,151 acres. Its population in 1871 was 190 and in 1911 only 151.〔 The parish church, St. Andrew's, is located at the southeastern edge of the parish and its records date to 1690.〔
