St John the Evangelist Hinton Hartell Dorset.
Hinton means ‘Monk’s farm’ from Old English ‘hiwan’ and ‘tun’, due to links between the monastery at Wimborne and the parish. Martell is a manorial addition from a French family, Lords of the Manor here after the 1086 Domesday Survey at which time the King held ‘Hinetone’. Later the parish came to be known as Hinton Magna (Latin) or Great Hinton (English), to distinguish it form neighbouring Hinton Parva or Little Hinton.
