Architecture & More
There's lots to do and explore in the Village and we hope the below categories are of interest
The Domesday Survey of 1086 records the existence of a Church at Dummer*. The oldest, visible part of the present building is the south doorway of the nave which dates from the 12th Century. It is now a round-headed window, close to the font.
Sunday services and additional events as well as Monday Evening bell ringing practice are regular features at the church.
There are 32 listed buildings displayed on the local Listed Buildings Register many of which are thatched with the oldest dating back several hundreds of years and with a church noted in Dummer in the Domesday Book.
The Dummer Treadmill pictured above is also Grade II listed. More information here.
The village telephone box is no longer operational as a traditional public telephone box but instead in recent years has been converted to a children's library which books can be borrowed and exchanged.
More recently suggestion is to also turn the telephone box in to a tourist information station for Pilgrims walking the St James Way.
The Village has three wooden bus and bench shelters for weary travellers and locals alike. These are regularly used for village posters and announcements.
In addition a Post Office Van visits the village on a Wednesday at 11am and parks outside the Village Hall to provide postal services to villagers.
