Durweston
Two miles north of Blandford Forum on the banks of the River Stour is Durweston and it reached via a narrow stone bridge built in 1795 by the Portman family who were the owners of Bryanston, and which forms a junction with the A350 Shaftesbury Road.

The Domesday Survey records three vineyards and the 500 yer old church which has a figure of a man holding a horse with three legs and another man with a horseless leg!
This is said to represent St Eloy who was the patron saint of Blacksmiths and who in the windows of the church is shown as a farrier as he is said to have once removed a horses leg to shoe then replaced it.

On the other bank of the river is Stourpaine.
