Within this project I will be staying true to the 39 historic counties of England. These county boundaries were in common use from medieval times until the mid 1970s when 'administrative countries' became widely used to represent local councils administrative areas. If you're looking to see if we've visited a particular village and you can't see it listed on the list of settlements, it may now be in a different county to what you expect!

Watermill • Abbotsbury
A millstone. This would have once been in the nearby watermill. Used for the grinding of wheat or barley in the manufacture of flour. I love finding these abandoned relics of our past, reminding us that once each village was more or less self-sufficient when it came to their basic needs.
