More about this scene
Stoborough declined in size with the passage of time, but it was once as big as nearby Wareham, with a mayor and corporation of its own. Excavations in the middle of the last century found the remains of a Saxon chieftain prepared for burial in the hollowed-out trunk of a tree.

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
During this period my mum-in-law, Rosa Crumpler, lived in Stoborough, attended the local school and her father, James George Crumpler, owned the garage. Her claim to fame is that she regularly filled the tank of "Lawrence of Arabia's" motor cycle (on display at Beaulieu).
