Description


Ryme Intrinseca is a village in north west Dorset, England, four miles south of Yeovil, and a mile west of Yetminster. The village has a population of 130 (As of 2001[update]). The name means the in, or home part of the Ryme manor as opposed to the out part, once called Ryme Extrinsica. The church at Ryme Intrinseca, which dates back to the 13th century, is dedicated to St. Hypolite and there are only two such churches in all England. Hypolite was born in 170 AD, and was a gaoler in charge of St. Lawrence - which example during his imprisonment so impressed Hypolite, that he became converted to the Christian faith. Hypolite became Bishop of Ostia, near Rome, but was anti-Papal and was martyred in the year 236 AD. The chancel and nave of St. Hypolite's church are basically from the 13th century, but architecturally the most interesting features lie in the unusual 17th century work which includes the east window and most of the windows in the nave, (including the little trefoil placed high to light the pulpit). Also from the early 17th century is the tower, with its intricate profile caused by the projecting stairway. There is an alms dish in the church which was lost in 1873 and found its way back to Dorset from Bideford in Devon in 1938. Ryme once constituted a separate liberty, containing only the parish itself.

These ancient English country churches fascinate me. I've missed them for a month or so. Great description of the building, the name and the area...all rolled into one. Bill
