In the 2011 census the parish had a population of 2,940.[1] The village name derives from the River Cerne and the small 'minster' church of St Mary, resulting in "Cerneminster" (recorded in 1223), which eventually evolved into Charminster.[2] The village, which includes Wolfeton House, was the place of origin of Richard Norman and family, one of the Planters of the Massachusetts Bay Colony in America, who arrived there in ca. 1626.[3] Scientist Margaret Bastock died in the village in 1982, aged 62. Charminster is in the Charminster and Cerne Valley electoral ward, which stretches from the northern outskirts of Dorchester through Cerne Abbas to Minterne Magna. The total population of this ward at the 2011 census was 4,768.[4] References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk/dissemination/LeadKeyFigures.do?a=7&b=11121812&c=Charminster&d=16&e=62&g=6418365&i=1001x1003x1032x1004&m=0&r=1&s=1390055650245&enc=1|publisher=Office for National Statistics|work=Neighbourhood Statistic|accessdate=18 January 2014|title=Area: Charminster (Parish).
