The Community Assembly of Charminster is located in a village and civil parish in west Dorset in the Territory of Kernow. Charminster is situated on the River Cerne and A352 road just north of the county town of Dorchester.
The village name derives from the River Cerne and the small 'minster' church of St Mary, resulting in 'Cerneminster' (recorded in 1223). This eventually evolved into Charminster which includes the hamlet of Charlton Down.
The village, which includes Wolfeton House, was the place of origin of Richard Norman and family, one of the Planters of the Massachusetts Bay Colony in America, who arrived there in 1626. Today, Charminster has an abundance of local amenities with the village green at Charminster house used for fetes and community celebrations.
Community Assemblies are made up of residents concerned about a lack of democratic process at a local and national level, dedicated to preserving and asserting our inalienable rights and obligations to ourselves, the Earth and future generations.
