Historic Churches in Dorset

The website for Wimbourne Minster tells a bit of the history of this church which has served its community for over 1300 years. It remains an important site for descendants of John Bemister (1747-1832) and Mary Willis (1749-1838) as they were married there on 30 May 1785.

Their sons (William Willis Bemister and brother Edward) established the Newfoundland Bemister family at Carbonear.

Likewise the Parish Church of St. Hubert's at Corfe Mullen, and the church yard cemetery were John and Mary are buried is a very special location for their descendants.
