The Abbey
The village of Cerne Abbas owes its existence to the establishment of the Benedictine Abbey in 987AD. A history of the Abbey has been written by the Society and is on public display under the Abbots Porch in the grounds of the former Abbey. The Abbots Porch and other remaining traces of the Abbey are behind the large house which dominates the north end of Abbey Street.

The Village
The Society has also written a history of the village of Cerne Abbas and its most iconic symbol, the Giant. This is on public display in St Mary's Church.

The Church
The history of St Mary's Church runs as a seamless thread through the histories of the Abbey and the village of Cerne Abbas. A history of the church has been written by the Society and is on public display in the church.
