About Allington
Allington has been a small hamlet since the 1200s it is bordered now by Symondsbury, Bridport, Bradpole and Dottery parishes. In recent years Allington has seen the advent of several new developments at each end of the parish. Whilst these new buildings do not overshadow the historic buildings of Allington. The Pack Bridge at Pymore, the historic church St. Saviour’s Dottery with its ancient iron roof. 15 footpaths go through Allington, and we have Allington Hill a local landmark where in 1262 Sir William De Legh paid one old penny for every corpse with leprosy to be buried within Bridport Cemetery.
The B3162 goes through part of Allington as well as the old A35. The River Simene is part of our parish. We have a farm shop which is licensed, Washingpool Farm on the B3162 selling local produce. Bridport Community Hospital is in Allington this hospital built on the site of the old Isolation Hospital had the topping out ceremony held when Cllr. Lathey was Mayor of Bridport.
