Sturminster,
Newton Castle, a market town and parish in the hundred of Sturminster, Newton
Castle, Sherborne division, 8 miles from Shaftesbury, and 108 from London,
contained in 1831, 1831 inhabitants, and was assessed in 1815, to £3,406.
It is situated on the river Stour, part on the right and part on the left
bank, connected by a good stone bridge, and consists of old low-built houses,
with the exception of a few in the central part of the town. The market-house
is a long high building, the ground floor of which is used chiefly for shambles,
and the upper part occupied by warehouses. The only manufacture here is that
of white baize. The markets are held on Thursday, and the fairs on May 12th
and October 24th. The petty sessions for the hundred are held here, and a
court leet annually, at which a constable and tything men are appointed. The
living is a vicarage in the patronage of Lord Rivers, value £16 16s
8d. K.B., and £902 in 1835. The church, dedicated to St Mary, ia a spacious
and venerable structure. There is a chapel for Wesleyan Methodists, and also
a national school for the education of children of both sexes. The Dorset
and Somerset canal passes to the east of the town. The castle, supposed to
be orginally erected by the Romans, is now completely in ruins. Its ground
plan is the form of the letter D. The remains consist of a small artificial
mount or keep, within a vallum, and deep ditch, seated on a hill, on the Newton
side of the river.
