More about this scene

With a half-hipped timbered frame, visible at the gable end, and attic windows plus roadside flowers, early 16th- century Anthorn Cottage continues to give character to Blandford Road in the linear village of Shillingstone. Under the roof and inside there are plenty more timbers, including rare cruck trusses with original tally marks, though it is clad on the outside in later brick.

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.
