Situation Hinton Place is located on the edge of this most popular village within charming gardens and grounds with excellent views across the surrounding countryside. Hinton St George is a pretty Hamstone village with many attractive period houses, a primary school, parish church, the popular Lord Poulett public house, a tea room and post office/village stores. The nearby towns of Yeovil, Crewkerne, Sherborne and Chard have an excellent variety of shopping, educational, recreational and cultural facilities. Communications in the area include mainline railway stations at Yeovil or Crewkerne with a service to London Waterloo and Castle Cary to London Paddington. The A303 lies to the North at South Petherton and provides a route to London and the Home Counties. The area is served by an excellent range of independent schools including Perrot Hill, Hazelgrove, Millfield, Leweston and Sherborne. Sporting facilities in the area include golf at Sherborne and Yeovil, horse racing at Exeter, Wincanton and Bath. Water sports are available on the Dorset Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site or Sutton Bingham reservoir to the South of Yeovil. The Property Hinton Place is thought to have been built in the early 1900s and has been upgraded several times since then and provides spacious and flexible accommodation arranged over two floors and retains some nice original features including an elegant panelled staircase in the reception hall, open fireplace in the drawing room, stone mullioned windows and some attractive exposed ceiling timbers throughout many of the ground floor rooms. Most recently the kitchen has been upgraded to a high standard and is centred round a large island with marble top, a Belfast sink and 4 oven Aga with module. Large glazed doors open onto the rear terrace beyond which is the main lawn. Also on the ground floor and facing south, is the impressive drawing room, a dining room and there is a cosy east facing morning room. On the first floor in the main house there is a luxurious master bedroom suite with bathroom and dressing room overlooking the rear garden, a guest bedroom with en suite facilities and two further bedrooms with separate bathroom. ACCOMMODATION Please see floor plans. Annexe Annexe THE ANNEXE The west wing of the house is a most useful inter-connecting annexe which provides most comfortable guest or staff accommodation but could just as easily be incorporated into the main house. The ground floor provides a reception hall, sitting room and kitchen as well as 3 bedrooms on the first floor. OUTSIDE The property is approached from a quiet lane via double electric gates leading to a stone gravelled drive with ample parking and a turning area. A further gated and cobbled inner courtyard provides garaging for two cars with two of the garages having been converted, one providing the utility room for the annexe and another a dedicated wine cellar. To the rear of the annexe is a further detached garage block with storage for three cars. The main gardens lie predominantly to the south and east of the property where there is a large level lawn bordered on three sides with mature shrubs, trees and plants. A secondary driveway leads along the eastern boundary providing access to the south where there is a paddock enclosed by post and rail fencing, a stable block and yard. The stable block has rendered elevations under a tiled roof and provides American style barn stabling for 3 horses, a tack room, store and shower room with power, light and water incorporated. DIRECTIONS Head west on the A303 from the south east and take the second exit signposted to Ilminster at the South Petherton roundabout. Continue for approximately 1 miles to the Lopen Head roundabout where there is a pub and take the 3rd exit on the right signposted to Hinton St George. Follow the lane towards the centre of the village, continue and turn left onto Merriott Road at the junction and proceed along this road for about ½ mile and the gates to Hinton Place are situated on the right hand side.

  • Hinton St George Church of England Primary School
    HINTON ST GEORGE CHURCH OF ENGLAND PRIMARY SCHOOL SCHOOL PROSPECTUS 2020/21 ‘Let Your Light Shine’ (Matthew 5:16) Dear Parents and Children Thank you for showing an interest in Hinton St George C of E Primary School. We are a dynamic, progressive Church of England Primary School located in the beautiful village of Hinton St George. In September 2020, the school converted from a First school to Primary school, so from September 2020 we will be increasing our age range to include year 5 children, and from September 2021, year 6. The school serves a community of families covering the rural parishes of Hinton St George, Dinnington and Lopen. The school enjoys a rural setting with all our classes based in the original Victorian school building. The grounds to the rear of the school include a well-stocked and fun playground along, an outdoor learning space for our early year’s provision and a beautiful ‘Peace Pod’ for small group work and playtimes. Our large playing field enjoys stunning views of our church and is well equipped with a range of outdoor apparatus, including a Forest School area. The children visit this regularly for playtimes, outdoor learning, Forest school and sport. The staff and governors aim to provide a happy, caring and well-organised environment in which each child feels secure and valued as an individual. We are fortunate to enjoy a high staff to pupil ratio where teaching and non-teaching staff all work together to create relaxed and pleasant surroundings. All of our children are actively encouraged to realise their full potential and to fulfil our school vision to ‘Let Your Light Shine’.

  • Dear Runners
    Issue no. 58 Sunday 26th February 2012 www.crewkernerc.btck.co.uk Dear Runners, Action from the recent Tough Guy event as a runner leaps over a wall of fire – a race not for the faint hearted one thinks!! West Bay Run The annual run to West Bay is happening this coming Sunday! Anyone who did the recent Charmouth run will know just how much fun these runs are! The route will be around 17 miles in total, and will see us leaving the car park at Lidl’s at 9am SHARP. There are two places where runners can join us along the route if they don’t fancy doing the whole thing but still want to take part. Runners can join from Wynyards gap at 10.00am to run 12 miles in total. If you fancy running 8 miles, why not join us in the centre of Beaminster (by The Wild Garlic Restaurant) at 10.40am. We aim to pass through these points at roughly the stated time but we cannot be exact so please bear that in mind when you meet us. First runners will aim to arrive in West Bay at around 12.15, with most arriving shortly after. We will be eating food afterwards at The West Bay Inn at 1 o’clock. To give us some idea of numbers for food bookings, can you either let myself, Sarah or Linda know if you are planning on staying for food after the run. Many thanks! Slay The Dragon Race Report from Yours Truly Having not done this event for the last two years, I thought I’d better get my backside in gear and give it another go.

  • Dedicattons of Tfte Cfjutcbcs of ©Ometsetsftire. “L
    DeDicattons of tfte Cfjutcbcs of ©ometsetsftire. BY THE KEY. E. H. BATES, M.A HE late Mr. W illiam Long contributed to the seventeenth “L volume of the Proceedings in 1871 a classified list of the Church Dedications given by Ecton in his Thesaurus Rerum Ecclesiasticarum, 1742. As Editor of the Bath and Wells Diocesan Kalendar my attention has been frequently drawn, from my own knowledge as well as by numerous correspon- dents, to the many errors and gaps in that list. It became plainly necessary to go behind the Thesaurus to the original sources of information. And here I may be allowed to repro- duce what I have already stated in the preface to the Kalendar for 1905. It should be clearly understood that there is no authoritative list in existence. Among the Public Becords are two works known as Pope Nicholas’ Taxatio of 1291, and the Valor Ec- clesiasticus of 27 Henry VIII (1536), containing the names of all parishes in England and Wales. These were primarily drawn up to ascertain the value of the benefices, and only in- cidentally, as in the case of towms with many churches, are the dedications added. The latter work, to which the title of V^ahr Ecclesiasticus or Liber Regis is generally given, was first printed in 1711 by J ohn Ecton. His preface contains a very interesting account of the early work of the Queen Anne’s Bounty Fund, of which he was Receiver, and of the serious state of affairs in the large towns which led to its foundation.

  • South Somerset District Council Local Plan Review
    South Somerset District Council Local Plan Review The Potential for Rural Settlements to be Designated ‘Villages’ November 2018 Contents Page 1 Introduction 1 2 Context 1 3 Methodology 3 4 Settlement Appraisal 13 5 Conclusions 23 Appendix 1 - Complete list of Rural Settlements in the District subject to this Appraisal 24 Appendix 2 - Settlement Maps; Constraints and Community Service Locations 25 Appendix 3 – Location Map of Settlements 58 1. Introduction 1.1 This paper considers the suitability of the District’s many Rural Settlements for growth. The current Local Plan does not allocate housing and employment to specific villages, seeking to direct most development to Yeovil, the Market Towns and Rural Centres. However, new housing has been delivered in the Rural Settlements far in excess of what the Local Plan anticipated; and similarly, new commercial buildings have, in the main, been provided away from the established employment locations and sites allocated for that purpose. Rather than continue with this somewhat arbitrary situation, the Review of the Local Plan offers the opportunity to look again at the various smaller settlements around the District to ascertain which might offer the best and most sustainable locations for limited growth and possible designation as ‘Villages’. 1.2 The Review of the Local Plan has also resulted in the potential removal of the role of ‘Rural Centre’ from Stoke sub Hamdon. This is because the settlement has many constraints and the number of commercial outlets in the centre is relatively restricted. It could instead be designated a ‘Village’ in recognition of its size and numbers of other facilities relative to the remaining Rural Settlements.
