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.
