More about this scene

The lovely old parish church of Ibberton is on a slope of the chalk downlands around the Blackmore Vale. It is likely that but for the efforts of one man, Lionel Seymour Plowman, incumbent at the beginning of the last century, this church would not have survived. Plowman took this almost ruined church and carried out a beautiful restoration.

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

I grew up here, a tiny hamlet underneath Bulbarrow Hill. My grandfather and father are buried in the churchyard. My mother still lives here and is a great stalwart of this tiny community.
