윈터본 킹스턴의 교회가 아늑한 가정집이라면, 윈터본 클렌스턴의 세인트 니콜라스 교회는 마치 클로즈업을 준비하는 "하이 패션" 저택 교회와 같습니다. 이 등급 II* 등재된 아름다움은 1840년 건축가 루이스 불랴미에 의해 재건되었습니다. 부유한 디자이너 스웨터를 입은 것처럼 보이게 하는 부싯돌과 포틀랜드 석재의 인상적인 띠를 특징으로 하는 유명한 스타일입니다. 실버 스크린 유명: 너무나 그림 같아서 기네스 팰트로 주연의 1996년 영화 제인 오스틴의 엠마 각색판 마지막 결혼식 장면에서 사용되었습니다. "연필" 첨탑: 이웃의 튼튼한 사각형 탑과 달리, 이 탑은 빅토리아 시대의 자신감으로 도싯 하늘을 꿰뚫는 가늘고 우아한 첨탑을 자랑합니다. 저택 시크: 윈터본 스트림 위의 언덕에 약간 고립되어 있으며, 근처 왓콤 하우스와 웅장한 클렌스턴 매너의 "전형적인 저택 교회" 역할을 합니다. 내부 매력: 내부는 수직선, 빛으로 가득 찬 창문, "나는 작지만 완벽하게 만들어졌다"고 말하는 분위기로 "수직" 스타일의 걸작입니다.

Really lovely main street. This can comfort you while you climb - if you are going left at the top you will face more climbing. Milton Abbas is one of the earliest examples of a community being moved for aesthetic reasons: it was created in the 1770s when Joseph Damer, the then owner of Milton Abbey, relocated the village of Middleton to a new site (now known as Milton Abbas) to improve the view from his estate. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milton_Abbas

notable for being one of the first planned settlements in England. In the 1770s, the owner of Milton Abbey, Joseph Damer (later Lord Milton and Earl of Dorchester), decided the original village of Middleton was spoiling his view and commissioned architect Sir William Chambers and landscape gardener Capability Brown to design a new village in a nearby wooded valley. The old village was demolished, and most of its residents were relocated to this new model village, now known as Milton Abbas. The village is characterized by its single, sinuous main street lined with 36 almost identical whitewashed and thatched cottages. These were originally designed to house two families each.

The church was built in 1786. This was during the creation of the new village of Milton Abbas by Joseph Damer, the Earl of Dorchester. He had the original market town of Milton (or Middleton), which was too close to his mansion (now Milton Abbey School), demolished and a new model village constructed to house his estate workers. * Replacing an Older Church: There was an earlier St James' Church serving the parish before the new village was built. Its exact location is uncertain, though some speculate it might have been near the south door of Milton Abbey. Registers of this earlier church date back to 1650. * Materials from the Abbey: It is believed that some of the materials used to build St James' Church came from the demolished abbey barn. * Victorian Enhancements: In 1886, the church underwent significant alterations. The chancel was enlarged, the chancel and tower arches were rebuilt, and a south aisle was added.

The present St James Church (grade 2 listed) is located in the centre of The Street in the ‘new’ village of Milton Abbas. It was built in the 1780’s and consecrated in 1786. The church is open daily

If you are hiking in this area definitely pop in for a coffee and food it’s amazing 😋

Using the power of moving water to drive a mill wheel is an ancient invention of the human spirit of discovery, the origins of which can be traced back to times long past. Thanks to such a construction, a watercourse - natural or artificial - could simply replace human or animal muscle power with the power of the natural elements, for example to grind grain into corn or to press oil from fruit. There are essentially two different ways of driving watermills: * Either the flowing water simply hits the blades of the water wheel from below to set it in motion; or * the water is guided - usually through a so-called "mill channel" - above the wheel and falls onto the blades; this type of construction is more efficient due to natural gravity.

Was nice to see the Hod from a distance. On a hike route I'd done Hambledon and Hod on same day, in really bad conditions. worth a go up there
