Chilcombe is a hamlet and civil parish in Dorset, England, situated in the Dorset unitary authority administrative area about 4 miles (6.4 km) east of Bridport and 10 miles (16 km) west of the county town, Dorchester. It comprises a church, an 18th-century farmhouse with farm buildings, and a couple of cottages.[2] In 2013 the estimated population of the parish was 10.[1]

In 1086 in the Domesday Book Chilcombe was recorded as Ciltecome;[3] it had 14 households, 3 ploughlands, 25 acres (10 ha) of meadow, 20 acres (8.1 ha) of pasture and one mill. It was in Uggescombe Hundred and the lord and tenant-in-chief was Brictwin the reeve.[4]

Parts of Chilcombe parish church—the south wall of the nave and probably also the chancel—date from the 12th century.[5] The Tudor manor house was demolished in 1939.[2]
