Background
History
Whimpton is mentioned, as Wimentun, in the Domesday Book; it is described there as one of the four berewicks of the King's Manor of Duneham (Dunham). A berewick was a detached, partly independent portion of a manor. The village (spelled also Wimpton or Wymton) is mentioned in pipe rolls in the 12th, 13th and 14th centuries, mentioning land and inhabitants of the village. The village evidently did not exist by 1547, since in that year there was an inquisition post mortem on the properties of Robert Nevyll, in which Whimpton is only a field name.
