The village stands on the river Stour, 1¾ mile W of the boundary with Hants, and 3¾ ESE of Wimborne r. station; is a considerable place; and has a post office, of the name of Kinson, under Wimborne. The tything comprises 4, 715 acres. Real property, £5, 237. Pop. in 1851, 918; in 1861, 1, 201. Houses, 260. The chapelry does not seem to have definite limits; and the living of it is a p. curacy, annexed to the vicarage of Great Canford, in the diocese of Salisbury.
