Sherborne St John Village Booklet - Print

Along with a useful map showing Sherborne St John and its contiguous settlements, are descriptions of places of worship, past and present in the village.

Surnames of past inhabitants are scattered throughout, from school master and inn keeper to landowner; and sources as diverse as Hearth Taxes, Enclosure Awards and Trade Directories are explored. From the ancient Brocas family name, to a link with the Austen family, were your family employed by some of the biggest landowners and influential families in Hampshire?
