A little bit about our village

Mosterton is a quaint Dorset village located on the A3066 road linking Beaminster and Crewkerne, and nestled in beautiful countryside. 
It isn't to be confused with Misterton, which is only two miles north (whose name derives from the Anglo-Saxon term for “mast-tree farm”). 
Mosterton first appeared in Domesday as Mortestorne, meaning “thorn of death”, likely commemorating some grisly deed that took place here in the long forgotten past!
The land passed to the Blount or Blunt family until the end of the fourteenth century, and was later counted amongst the possessions of Sir Thomas More's daughter, who married into the Paulett family which eventually sold it to the Henley family. After that it passed through many hands, including the wealthy Hussey family.
