More about this scene

Sherborne is a charming town of book and antique shops, an essential stop in any exploration of Dorset. The building on the left is the Monks' Conduit, a relic of the destroyed monastery, originally the place where the monks would have washed and shaved. It was moved to its present site centuries ago and has fulfilled a number of functions since, including a market site.
