Situation
Buckland Newton is approximately 10 miles North of the Roman town of Dorchester and 9 miles South of the market town of Sherborne. The village has many interesting houses, mostly 19th Century and the church is largely 15th century, but it has a 13th century chancel. Athelhampton Gardens and the Cerne Giant at Cerne Abbas are also well worth a visit.There are many unspoilt beaches within easy reach along the South coast, including Studland's golden sands, Lulworth cove, Chesil Beach, Abbotsbury, The Swannery, Golden Cap, West Bay and Lyme Regis. The whole of this part of the South coast has recently been selected for World Heritage Site status. The market town of Sherborne has two castles, old and new, and an Abbey. The Abbey sits majestically in the centre of town and is made of golden coloured Ham Hill stone with its history dating back to AD705 when King Ine of Wessex established a new diocese. An outstanding interior feature is the 15th Century stone fan-vaulted ceiling of the nave and choir. There are also two windows of great interest, the Te Deum window designed by AW Pugin and a modern glass window by Lawrence Whistler.
