Sturminster Newton is an important market town in the southern part of the Blackmore Vale. A medieval six-arched bridge spans the river Stour and carries the dire warning of 'transportation for life' for anyone who causes damage to it! The 14th century 'Fiddleford Mill lies 1 mile east of the town centre and has been fully restored to working order, there is also a 17th century town mill near the river crossing.
The church is just a short distance from the market square and is of the Perpendicular Style. It stands in a large graveyard with views over the valley below.
