Hinton Martell
Village
A quiet and leafy village of medieval origin, which, from its description in the Domesday Book, seems certain to have been of special importance at the time of the Norman Conquest. The main feature of the village is the fountain in the centre, opposite the church.
The village Church of St John was rebuilt in 1870 and it is said that the writer Thomas Hardy, who was working for the architect at the time, may have had a hand in its design.
