From the editors ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Many of us lucky enough to reside in the folds of the Dorset landscape cannot but be thankful that we live among a friendly, caring and tranquil society. Where there is noise a-plenty from the birds and sounds of a working countryside, we are not discomfited by angry mobs and out of control individuals. We can walk or cycle by day or by night along the road and the paths, able to talk to each other and our neighbours as we go, unhindered by chaos and aggression. But we should be mindful of the horrors that do exist whether within some of the UK's towns and cities, or beyond in the wider world and we should all strive to influence a better attitude which we can all roll out into the world around us.

    Hutchins` History and Antiquities of Dorset, Extra Illustrated Edition children`s Activity Sheet. Unscramble the words in bold below to find out about the Rev John Hutchins and his book: The Reverend John UCSIHHTN was born in Bradford Peverell in on 21st September 1698. He lived nearly all of his life in EORDST. After training to become a priest his first job was as the curate of LINOMT BBASA. It was whilst he was at Milton Abbas that he decided to start work- ing on a STIHRYO of the County, a work that would take him the rest of his life to complete. It was very difficult to get information about all the RAPSSIHE of Dorset in the 1700`s. Hutchins wrote many STTLERE asking people to send him information and had to make long trips to libraries in cities such as XORFDO and OLNDNO. Hutchins was made vicar for the parishes of Swyre and Melcombe Horsey. As these were SLMLA parishes he still had plenty of time to do research for his book. Then in 1744 he was made rector of RAHWMEA. This was a much larger parish and took up much more of his TEMI. Work on the history became very slow and all his efforts were nearly for nothing when his manuscript was nearly destroyed by the great REIF of Wareham. The work was finally published in 1774, although sadly Hutchins did not VEIL to see this. `Hutchin`s History and Antiquities of Dorset` is one of the most used book in our reference BRIYARL.
