Directory for 1835
Stalbridge,
a market town and parish in the Sturminster division and Browneshall
hundred, on a branch of the river Stour, 7 miles from Sherborne, 10
from Shaftesbury, and 1 from Henstridge. Contained in 1831, 1773 inhabitants,
and was assessed in 1815 to £10,615. The town consists of two
streets angularly situated towards each other, and at the point of junction
is an ancient sculptured cross, about 30 feet high, of excellent workmanship
and just proportion, which are rarely found in similar structures. The
soil is rocky, and supplies the neighbourhood with stone for building.
The silk manufacture is the only one existing here at present, though
the place was formerly noted for its manufacture of hosiery. The market-day
is on Tuesday, and the fairs for cattle are held on 6th May and 4th
September. The living is a rectory, in the patronage of Christ's College,
Cambridge, value £27 4s 7d. K. B. and £1,004 in 1835. There
is also, a place of worship for disenters.
Marnhull is a village and parish in the same hundred, divided from Stalbridge
by the river Stour. The occupation of its inhabitants is chiefly agriculture.
