About Buckland Newton

Buckland Newton, a Dorset village, breathes a quiet stillness under wide skies. It lies 12.5 km south-south-east of Sherborne (from Sherborne: bearing 157°T, OS grid ST 686 051), and is situated west-south-west of Woolford's Water village. The land here rolls with a gentle, earthy grace, the chalk downs giving way to fertile valleys where the fields seem to hold the very light of the South West. Ancient hedgerows, thick with hawthorn and dog rose, trace the boundaries of pastures that have sustained livestock for generations, their quiet industry a constant hum beneath the surface of the day. The village itself, a scatter of stone cottages and the ancient church of St. Nicholas, seems to have grown organically from the soil, its stones weathered by countless seasons. A palpable sense of continuity pervades Buckland Newton, a feeling that the present is but a fleeting echo of a long and unhurried past.
