William the Conqueror's
Domesday Book of 1086 does not record the early names of Rima or
Ryme and the village was probably surveyed as part of
Yetminster. The name
'Ryme' first appears in Charter Rolls dated 1229
and its subsequent evolution to the present form of
Ryme Intrinseca has been the subject of much
speculation.
In 1298,
King Edward I granted
Sir Humphrey de Beauchamp and his heirs
the right to hold a weekly market
on Mondays at his Manor of Ryme, and a yearly
fair there on the
Feast of Saint
Hippolytus (to whom the
parish church, commenced by
Sir Humphrey in 1292/3, is dedicated).
Ryme is derived from the Old English
'rima' meaning a border or rim - a reference to
the rim or edge of land which is such a pronounced feature running east to west on the
south side of the village.
|
In the 15th century the lord of the manor of Ryme made several acquisitions
including the manor of Hallynges in Long Bredy, part of the manor of Langton Herring, and
parcels of land in Hermitage, Hammoon and
Sturminster Newton.
It was this widespread collection of holdings which was known as
Ryme Extrinseca (or
Extrinsecus). The Manors of Ryme and Hallynges
were jointly as by Sir John Tiptoft in the 15th century
(compare Child Okeford Superior/Inferior).
|
At the beggining of the 20th century, the lands of Ryme Extrinseca had all
been either sold or absorbed into other parishes leaving only Ryme Intrinseca.
|
|
In the 15th century it became necessary to make the geographical distinction
between In-Ryme, which was Latinised to give the version which remains today of
Ryme Instrinseca, and Out-Ryme or
Ryme Extrinseca.
CHURCH HOUSE
Opposite the church gate, stands Church House.
HILL COTTAGE
Hill Cottage stands on the north side of the road, to west of the parish church.
LILAC COTTAGES
Almost opposite the churchyard, on the south side of the road, stand
Lilac Cottages - amongst the first Nissen
Houses to be built during World War II. These reminders of Europe's bloody history during
the first half of the 20th century are now Listed Buildings.
POST HOUSE
On the south side of the road, to the east of the parish church, the
tablet over the front door
declares Post House to have been built in 1772.
