“RADIPOLE, a parish in the hundred of Culliford-Tree, Dorchester division of county Dorset, 2 miles N.W. of Weymouth, its post town, and 5 S. of Dorchester. The village, which is of small extent, is situated on the harbour formed by the mouth of the river Wey. There are a mineral spring (discovered in 1830) and sulphur baths in the neighbourhood. The land is nearly evenly divided between arable and pasture. Previous to the dissolution of monasteries, the manor belonged to Cerne-Abbas convent. The tithes have been commuted for a rent-charge of £280, and the glebe comprises 3½ acres. The living is a curacy* annexed to the rectory* of Melcombe Regis, in the diocese of Sarum. The church, dedicated to St. Mary, was rebuilt in 1817, and is the mother church to Melcombe Regis. There are places of worship for the Independents and Roman Catholics. The neighbourhood is studded with residences, the principal of which are Nottington House and Corfe Hill. A portion of the parish is in the borough of Weymouth."
