The minor road meets the A354 Salisbury to Dorchester Road. The village name appears in early records as Winterborne Blaunchminster. Winterborne stems from the river which starts to flow through the village during the winter months and continues until early summer. The word Whitechurch may come from the colour of the church or the chalky hills near it.
