Buckland Newton is approximately 10 miles north of the Roman town of Dorchester and 9 miles south of the market town of Sherborne and lies almost hidden in a fold of hills on the southern edge of Blackmore Vale. The village has many interesting houses, mostly 19th century, but one in particular stands out and that is a Queen Anne house called Buckland Newton Place just by the church. The church is largely 15th century but has a 13th century (early English) chancel that was overlooked by the heavy-handed Victorians! |

The market town of Sherborne, has two castles, old and new, and an Abbey. The Abbey sits majestically in the centre of town and is made of warm, golden coloured Ham Hill stone with its history dating back to AD705 when King Ine of Wessex established a new diocese. There are many things to see in the Abbey, visually it is 15th Century but it incorporates much of a Norman Church. The outstanding interior feature is the incredible 15th Century stone fan-vaulted ceiling of the nave and choir. There
are two windows of great interest the Te Deum window designed by AW Pugin and
a modern glass window |
