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.​​​
