I'm planning a trip to research ancestors in Dorset and Wiltshire and by lunchtime on Saturday we should be in Stour Provost. However, I can't find any pubs or restaurants listed in the town so I hope somebody can make a suggestion. The shame is, the particular ancestor was an innkeeper in the town in 1830 but I don't know the name of his hostelry!!! |

Found this by googling:- ...... Stour Provost: little Dorset village (church, pub, shop) of old stone houses peaceful in lanes between the rich farming vales of Stour and Blackmore: 'Tess of the d'Urbervilles' country. Tremendous views from the wooded top of Duncliffe Hill, 1 mile. Good walking, many footpaths. Shaftesbury, 6 miles; Gillingham (on the railway), 3.5; Stourhead (beautiful gardens with statues round lake), 7.5; Salisbury, 22. ...... As it says there is a pub in the village, then you will probably be able to have lunch there as most pubs these days do some sort of food. If it turns out to be an old pub, it could even possibly be the one your ancestor ran. Kath. x |
