“TYNEHAM, a parish in the hundred of Hasilor, county Dorset, 6 miles S.W. of Wareham, its post town, and 5 W. of Corfe Castle. The village is situated at the western extremity of the Isle of Purbeck, near Worbarrow Bay, in the English Channel. There was anciently a chapel at Povington, a hamlet near Lulworth, and another dedicated to St. Margaret at North Egleston; also an alien priory, subordinate to Bec Abbey, in Normandy, which at the suppression was given by Henry VI. to St. Anthony's Hospital, in London, and subsequently came to the Dean and Chapter of Westminster. On the coast is a circular battery for the defence of Worbarrow Bay. Limestone is quarried, and there are veins of Purbeck marble and some gypsum. The living is a rectory, annexed to that of Steeple, in the diocese of Sarum. The church, dedicated to St. Mary, was enlarged and restored in 1835. The principal residence is Tyneham House. Flowers-barrow, an ancient encampment, is situated in this parish."
