Toller Fratrum, Dorset

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

The name of this isolated village gives a clue to its history. The 'fratrum' refers to the brothers, or brethren, of the Knights Hospitiller of St John, who owned the manor during the medieval period. A thatched farm building is thought to have been the brother's refectory. The manor house is 17th century, and was built on the site of the Hospitiller's house. The church, dedicated to Basil the Great, is 12th century, with much Victorian rebuilding. It features an elaborately carved 12th century font.
