Puddletown, Dorset

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

This small village near Dorchester was once Piddletown, but the name has morphed into Puddletown. Just outside the village is the historic 15th century manor house of Athelhampton, while also nearby is the Jacobean Waterston Manor. Puddletown church is a largely Perpendicular Gothic building with a Norman font and carved Jacobean gallery. Inside the church are monuments to the Martins of Athelhampton and Waterston.
