  Iwerne Minster, Dorset, England
Iwerne is an ancient British (Celtic) river-name, first recorded as Iwern broc in the mid-10th century but much older than that, probably meaning 'yew-tree stream'.
Iwerne Minster is recorded as Evneminstre in the Domesday Book of 1086, but its first appearance is in a Saxon charter dated 871 where it is simply ywern or hywerna.
The affix is Old English mynster '(church of) a monastery' with reference to the early possession of this estate by Shaftesbury Abbey (from the middle of the 10th century).

Work of any kind on a farm, but especially that of the type of Iwerne Minster, proceeds slowly, and, although the system that was moulded out of the extensive trials had assumed definite shape, it was still only in its early stages at the death of the owner.
While the methods of arable farming adopted were extremely intelligent and enlightened, the outstanding features at Iwerne Minster were the herd of dairy Shorthorn cattle, the herd of Berkshire and Middle White pigs, the bacon factory, and latterly the poultry farm.
The Iwerne Minster farming enterprises were exceptionally noteworthy in that they marked the diversion of a mind and energy that had undergone a thorough business training to the affairs of the land.
