MAPPERTON, a parish in the hundred of BEAMINSTER-FORUM and REDHONE, Bridport division of the county of DORSET, 2½ miles (S.E. by E.) from Beaminster, containing 123 inhabitants. The living is a rectory, in the peculiar jurisdiction of the Dean of Salisbury, rated in the king's books at £8. 3. 1½. H. C. Compton, Esq. was patron in 1822. The church, dedicated to St. Mary, was, in 1291, styled a chapel to Netherbury: it was rebuilt, in 1704, by Richard Broadrep, Esq., and the interior handsomely fitted up: in the chancel is a fine monument of the Broadreps, and underneath it the family vault. There is a small churchyard, but the substratum being rock, the inhabitants bury at Netherbury, for which privilege they annually pay a trifling acknowledgment.
