Ryme Intrinseca is civil parish and a village in northwest Dorset, England, 4 miles (6.4 km) south of Yeovil and 1 mile (1.6 km) west of Yetminster. It is sited on a low ridge of cornbrash limestone on the edge of the Blackmore Vale. The name means the inner, or home, part of the Ryme manor as opposed to the outer parts, once called Ryme Extrinseca. In the 2011 UK census the parish had a population of 115.

The church at Ryme Intrinseca, which dates back to the 13th century, is dedicated to St. Hyppolyte; there are only two churches dedicated as such in England.

Ryme once constituted a separate liberty, containing only the parish itself; it never belonged to a "hundred".

For more information, see the EN Wikipedia article Ryme Intrinseca. Describes the church and outlines the life of St. Hyppolyte.
