24 August 2008 - Melbury Bubb

My first visit to this quiet hamlet which is a couple of miles south west of Chetnole up a no through lane..

My first sight of the village from the railway bridge on the approach lane. The village lies below Bubb Down Hill.

Looking south from the railway bridge. The track is the Yeovil to Weymouth branch line. The skyline is the Batcombe ridge.

The village church of St Mary. The oldest part of the present church dates from 1474. For a history of the church follow this link.

Next to the church is an old manor house. Follow this link to my next stop at Hilfield.
