More about this scene
Milborne Port lies east of the Dorset town of Sherborne. It is noted for its parish church, which combines Anglo- Saxon detail and features with Norman work, a late 11th-century phase cumbersomely termed Saxo-Norman Overlap. It is a most interesting church; you will find it down a lane to the right off the busy London Road, the A30.

It was so long ago, but I do have fond and, sometimes, pretty rotten memories of it. If ...see more
Whilst doing our family history, we discover that the Andrews family were former proprietors of The Kings Head in Milborne Port. His name was Frederick James Andrews and his wife Annie. His son, Frederick Elisha Andrews married my Great Aunt, Stella and he went on to manage a small brewery near York. In the 1890s Frederick Elisha was a boarder at nearby Gillingham Grammar School.
