Description
English: Sculpture of St Giles - Parish church Hooke This sculpture of the saint was made by Benjamin Grassby in the 19th century. Grassby was an architectural sculptor and monumental stone mason of Dorchester.

The firm of Grassby, stonemasons of Dorchester, is still going strong today.
St Giles is the patron saint of cripples: a hermit born in Athens in the 8th century he spent much of his life in France where he lived in a forest for some of the time living off the milk of a female deer. Eventually the deer was shot at with an arrow by the king's hunters who wounded the hermit instead. Out of great respect for Giles and his miracles, the king built an abbey when he died, Saint Gilles-du-Gard. His saint's day is 1st September.

Description
English: Village sign, Wimborne St Giles. The village sign has recently been repainted. See 533578 by Chris Downer. St. Giles was born in the early 7th century and died c.710. His Latin name was Aegidius. Little fact is known of his origin and early life but legend has it that he was born an Athenian and became a hermit near the mouth of the Rhone, not far from Nimes. Legend also relates that whilst the King Wamba was out hunting in a forest he chased a hind who went into a thicket into which the king shot an arrow. Upon investigating the King found Giles wounded by the arrow whilst protecting the hind.
