More about this scene
The six hundred-year-old tower of the church at Stourpaine is the oldest part of the building, for much of the rest is modern. Beneath the tower is the notable effigy of John Straight, a former parson, who is portrayed kneeling as if in prayer. The cottage on the right houses the Manor Road Stores.

Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
We used to often walk along the lovely River Stour, walk under Hod Hill then over the hill, down to the road, cross over to the lane that led up to Hambledon Hill, up to the top then back to Child Okeford. I think it was in the 1950s that a dig was done on the Roman fort on Hod Hill.
In spring the hill was coverd in flowers, including the wonderful Bee Orchid.
