Toller Porcorum, Dorset

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

The Latin version of Toller Porcorum tells us much about the history of this small Dorset village. Toller is a valley with a stream, while Porcorum refers to the pig breeding that once took place here. The Romans came here in 43 AD, and a Roman altar forms part of the font in the 13th century parish church of St Andrew and St Peter.
