AND TO THE HIGH SHERIFF, AND MAGISTRATES OP THE COUNTY OF DORSET, THIS WORK IS DEDICATED, BY THEIR MUCH OBLIGED AND OBEDIENT SERVANT, THE AUTHOR. JSreface* IN presenting to the Public, at the Solicitations of manu of the Magistrates and others, a New Edition of " The Civil Division of the County of Dorset" the Editor begs to state, that in conse- quence of the many Alterations which have taken place since the Publication of the first Edition, it became necessaryfor the whole to be re-written, which has been done, and other Blatters introduced through- out. The same method has however been pursued in the present, as in the former Edition : and in order to render the Work more generally useful and easy to be consulted, in addition to the Indexes, he has prefixed a Table of the Contents. It would be superfluous for the Editor to enlarge upon the pro- bable Advantages of a Work of this kind as a Book of reference ; but he may be permitted to hope that it will be found useful, not only to the Magistrates, whose aiteniion to the good ofthe Community requires that they should have all the Information and Assist- ance which can be afforded them, but also to every Public Officer, Parish Officer, Land Owner, and principal Inhabitant of the County. Dorchester, June, 1833. Entrotiuction. The Shire, or County of Dorset, is a maritime County, situated in the South West of Ensland, between 50®. 30'. and ol^. 6'. North Lat. and 1°. 58'. and 30**. 11'. West Long, bounded on the IVorth by Somersetshire and Wiltshire, on the West by Devon- shire and part of Somersetshire, on the East by Hampshire, and Southward 'tis all Sea Coast; is in length from North to South about 35m. and in breadth from East to West 55m. and is nearly 160ra. in circumference, according to the latest authorities : it appears to be 1005 square statute miles, or 043,200 acres ; wherefore the number of inhabitants in each square mile, containing 640 acres, according to the last population returns (1831) averages 1.58 persons. The County is divided into 9 Divisions ; 35 Hun- dreds ; 22 Liberties, and 8 Boroughs (see p. 27); also into 241 Parishes; 41 parochial Chapelries ; 5 extra-parochial Places, and 3 Tithings and Hamlets,* which maintain their own poor ; and it contains 20 Towns ; 404 Tithings ; 253 Vills ; 244 Hamlets, and 617 Farms and Lands. The Names of the principal Civil Ministerial Ofii- cers, and Magistrates, having jurisdiction and autho- rity within the County, and the subordinate Officers under them, with their salaries, fees, and allowances, are given, and Lists thereof digested and arranged, according to the method adopted by Mr. Justice Blackstone, commencing from diliercnt periods, and continued to the present time, under separate heads; * These three Places belong to the Parislies cf C'anford JJagna and Beer Regis. ii.

How- ever in 1530, (22 Hen. 8, c. 12,) Parishes became Divisions, and are taken notice of in ( ivil matters. ^-{\ illiamss Justice, 1. p. 587. Freeman s Rep. This mixture of the Civil and Ecclesiastical Di- visions has created great confusion; and Mr. Jus- tice Blackstone observes, that "where the statute law have not the foundation of the common law to build on, what miserable shifts and lame expedients have from time to time been adopted, in order to patch up the flaws occasioned by this neglect."

  • Sherborne Castle
    SHERBORNE CASTLE In the early twelfth century, Roger of Caen, Bishop of Salisbury built a castle at Sherborne with a deer park and hunting lodge. When Dorset came under the diocese of Bristol in 1592, Sherborne was leased to Queen Elizabeth who then gave the estate to Sir Walter Raleigh. Unsuccessful in modernising the old castle, Raleigh built a new house across the river in 1594 and laid out a garden between the two buildings. In 1603, Raleigh was arrested on charges of treason and the estate reverted to the Crown. In 1617, Sherborne was sold to Sir John Digby, Ambassador to Spain who enlarged the house; he was created Baron Digby of Sherborne in 1618 and Earl of Bristol in 1622. During the Civil War, the Norman castle was slighted and left in ruins. In 1698, the barony and earldom of Bristol became extinct and Sherborne was inherited by the 1st Earl’s nephew, Robert Digby, 1st Baron Digby of Geashill. It wasn’t until the eighteenth century that 5th Lord Digby’s third son Robert remodelled the garden to the Tudor house. The beginning of the eighteenth century was a time of change. There was a movement away from the formal gardens of William and Mary with their straight canals and topiary towards the appreciation of irregularity within Nature. The 3rd Earl of Shaftesbury wrote in 1699: ‘I shall no longer resist the Passion growing in me for things of a natural kind…Even the rude Rocks, the mossy Caverns, the irregular unwrought Grottos, and broken Falls of Waters, with all the horrid Graces of the Wilderness it-self, as representing Nature more, will be the more engaging, and appear with a Magnificence beyond the formal Mockery of princely Gardens.’ By 1724, George I was on the throne, Alexander Pope had translated the Iliad and Robert Walpole was Prime Minister.

First from education, next from running a Diocesan Retreat House, and then 3 years ago, from ministry. Not a rec- ord, perhaps, but retirement suggests slippers and leisurely cups of tea in the garden. Why doesn’t it work like that in reality? I still seem to be happily busy – taking services, occupied with voluntary work, singing in choirs, taking music lessons, and having a wonderful social life! But there is a cautionary note. A recent health scare caused me to con- sider – as one frequently does at a certain age – my own mortality. Death holds no perils, but I’m just not ready for it yet, so I thought I’d write my- self a letter and share it with you, as you may be in the same situation.

  • The Mosaic Hinton St Mary November 2020
    The Mosaic Hinton St Mary November 2020 The Yard (Alice Fox-Pitt) What a weird time we are in. Despite the global pandemic, horses need to be fed and worked so despite lockdown work had to continue at Woodlane Stables. Firstly we need to say a big thank you to the village for putting up with the constant stream of horses hacking round the village, we apologise for any inconvenience. Hinton St Mary is the perfect place to train horses and we feel very lucky. The yard used to be one of three dairies in the village but it was converted in 2004 and we moved the first horses in in 2005. We train horses owned by clients for William to compete. William also trains up and coming star riders from all over the world. This year we had a team from South Africa, the US, Japan, Germany, Ireland, Wales, Scotland and Newcastle. Jackie Potts is our head girl and this weird year was her 27th working with William. Obviously, the big disappointment for us was the postponement of the Olympics due to be held in Tokyo in August. William has been training hard on his star horse Little Fire, who is in the British squad of 12. It would be an incredible 6th Olympics should he make Team GB having competed in Atlanta, Athens, Beijing, London and Rio. It was a huge blow for our Japanese star Kazumo Tomoto. He has been here for three years training for a home games. His daughter and wife have stayed at home in Tokyo so it has been a huge sacrifice and commitment.

    AGENDA ITEM 3 NORTH DORSET DISTRICT COUNCIL COUNCIL Date of Meeting: 18 December 2013 REPORT TITLE: PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOUNDARY COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND’S DRAFT RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A NEW WARDING PATTERN FOR NORTH DORSET Portfolio Holder: Cllr Val Pothecary, Community and Regeneration Report Author: Democratic & Electoral Services Manager Purpose of Report: To consider amendments proposed to The Local Government Boundary Commission for England’s draft recommendations for a new warding pattern for North Dorset. Statutory Authority: Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Act 2009 Financial Implications: There are no financial implications associated with this report. Consultations required/ All North Dorset District Councillors undertaken: Recommendations: To recommend alternative proposals, set out in paragraphs 8 to 11, and Appendicies 1 to 4 of this report, to The Local Government Boundary Commission for England’s recommended Warding Pattern for North Dorset. Reason For Decision: To ensure that the new Warding pattern for North Dorset recognises and reflects community and local identity and the historic links of the parishes, whilst ensuring electoral equality is achieved across the district. BACKGROUND 1. In early 2012, The Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) advised the Council that it would be undertaking a Further Electoral Review of North Dorset, looking at both the number of Councillors and the Ward boundaries. 2. In October 2012, the Council submitted a document to the LGBCE regarding Council size recommending that the Council should retain 33 Councillors. The submission gave evidence relating to the governance and management structure of the Council, scrutiny work, work on outside bodies and also the Members’ representational role.
