'''Iwerne Stepleton''' (anciently Ewern Stapleton, etc.) is a small [civil parish](/source/civil_parish) and former [manor](/source/manorialism) in the county of [Dorset](/source/Dorset), England.

The parish comprises about 800 acres of land and lies on the eastern side of the [River Iwerne](/source/River_Iwerne). The soil is chalk. The surviving St Mary's parish church, to the west of the parish, was founded in about 1100 and stood originally surrounded by the village of Iwerne Stepleton, deserted at some time before 1662 and replaced by the surviving large structure of [Stepleton House](/source/Stepleton_House).<ref>'Iwerne Stepleton', in An Inventory of the Historical Monuments in Dorset, Volume 3, Central (London, 1970), pp. 132–135.  http://www.british-history.ac.uk/rchme/dorset/vol3/pp132-135</ref>
