Cranborne

CRANBORNE, a village and parish in the hundred of its name and East Shaston division of the county, 16 miles N. from Poole and 10 N. from Wimborne (where there is a railway station) pleasantly placed about the centre of Cranborne Chase. This place is of but slight commercial importance and its buildings are devoid of attraction. The parish church is an ancient building and was formerly attached to a monastery. There is here a chapel newly erected for Wesleyans, a school upon the National system, and a charity -Hutchins'- which provides great coats for poor men engaged during severe weather in agricultural avocations. The parish which is one of the most extensive in the county, contains the hamlets of Alderholl, Blagdon, Boveridge, Crendall, Holwell, Verwood and Monckton-up-Wimborne, comprises 13,700 acres, and had in 1841 a population of 2540.
