Whilst in Dorset we stayed in Sutton Poyntz, a wonderful picturesque 17th Century village with a famous millpond and small stream. We stayed in 'The Court House'
We came to the conclusion that it wasn't the original Court House but probably more likely built on the site of the Court House.
Opposite The Court House was 'Sutton Mill' which dates from about 1820. Sutton Poyntz was the 'Overcombe' of Thomas Hardy's novel 'The Trumpet Major', with the mill and mill house as the main setting.
The village pub - The Springhead.
This house caught my attention. I love the windows at street level.
There were lots of very quaint houses around the village.
These cottages were in a prime spot overlooking the village pond.
