Poyntington is a village and civil parish in the county of Dorset in South West England.

It lies on the edge of the Blackmore Vale about 2 miles (3.2 km) north of Sherborne.

[4] All Saints' Church has grown from an Anglo-Saxon two-room design and contains original Norman work.

Murals on pillars were discovered in 1848[5] but were destroyed by their exposure.

An unusual addition is a carving of an angel's wing which was blown off Amiens Cathedral in World War I and then donated to the church.
