The river Cerne flows through the village and, running south from the duck pond adjacent to Abbey Farm, seperates the houses on the east side of Abbey Street from the road. At the north end of this cul-de-sac are the scant remains of the abbey. The parish church has no churchyard but its fine Perpendicular tower rises from the street. opposite the church, on the western side of the street are a row of fine timbered houses with overhangs.

CERNE ABBEY
Pilloried by the villagers of Cerne, St Augustine washed himself of the mud thrown by them and looking up saw God. The spot (now enclosed by St Augustine's Well) became holy and a monastery was built there probably by the 9th century. It did not survive and was refounded in 987 as an abbey church of the Benedictine Order by Ethelmaer, the Earl of Cornwall. At the Dissolution of the Monasteries, there were sixteen monks at the abbey. The expulsion of the monks led to the town's decline.
