Location: - Hinton St Mary is situated in the Blackmore Vale, 1 mile from Sturminster Newton and approximately 10 miles from Shaftesbury, Blandford, Sherborne and Gillingham.

The village’s major claim to fame is the discovery in 1963 of the Roman Mosaic pavement with the first known depiction of the head of Christ. The mosaic is now in the British Museum, but there is a display board in the village garden.
Hinton is a traditional English village, with a historic Church, a Manor House and a Pub, the White Horse. It contains many lovely houses dating from the 16th century to the present day, of which many are thatched. It is a village of gardeners and in 1999 they created a village garden to commemorate the Millennium, which was filmed by BBC 2 for their programme ‘Charley’s Garden Army’.
Hinton is very much a working village. A monthly newsletter, The Mosaic, is circulated to all residents and provides detailed information on life in the community. The village is a vibrant community and it has worked together on various projects including the restoration of the Village Hall a few years ago. The Village Hall and Cricket Club have combined premises. Every 2 years there is a Village Show with cups and prizes for the winners, and annually a Harvest lunch and a Christmas party. On the alternate year the Gardens Open Weekend takes place and almost everyone in the village becomes involved in one way or another.
Cricket is a tradition in the village and the idyllic cricket pitch is home to the Sturminster and Hinton Cricket Club. In recent years William Fox-Pitt, the Olympic medallist, has established an equestrian centre in the village.
