Grimstone, a quiet corner of Dorset, breathes the gentle air of the South West. It lies 6.4 km north-west of Dorchester (from Dorchester: bearing 306°T, OS grid SY 639 945), and is situated east-south-east of Frampton village. The land around Grimstone rolls with a quiet dignity, the chalk downs giving way to fertile arable fields that catch the morning sun like a Vermeer painting. A scattering of cottages, their stone walls softened by the years and the persistent Dorset rain, cluster around a modest church whose spire points a steadfast finger towards the heavens. Life here moves with the slow, deliberate cadence of the seasons, the distant bleating of sheep a familiar soundtrack to the passing days.
