More about this scene

This sizeable village nestles in a valley close to two notable landmarks: Lewesdon Hill (894 feet) and Pilsdon Pen, at 909 feet, the highest hill in Dorset. Sailors viewing them from off the coast at West Bay dubbed them `the Cow and Calf`. The church of St John the Baptist, with its Perpendicular tower, stands on a terrace overlooking the village and boasted a peal of six bells, three of which were cast at least a century before the Reformation.
