Beer Hackett is a small village in western Dorset, three miles south-west of Sherborne and five mile south-east of Yeovil, the latter in Somerset. The civil parish includes the small settlement of Knighton to the east and the local council's 2013 mid-year estimate of the population of the civil parish is 100.
Beer Hackett is not recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086.[1]
The nave and west tower of the parish church were originally built in the early 15th century, though the whole building was radically restored in the 19th century.[2]
