Situated between Shaftesbury and Sherborne is the large and mostly modern village of EastStour, which would probably be unrecognizable to the author and dramatist, Henry Fielding who lived here as a boy from 1710, and who returned again to the old Rectory in 1734 at the start of married life.
The house has long gone to be replaced by Church farm.
Next door to the church is another of the villages earlier surviving buildings in the form of an austere, early 19th century farmhouse.
