Adber Court - Adber A substantial property in the hamlet of Adber, believed to be a newbuild major addition to what was originally a barn conversion. Yes, that really is a figure of a giant cockerel on the lawn, maybe the owners have some connection to the Courage Brewery!

Deserted medieval village of Nether Adber Contrast has been increased to try to bring out the remains of earthworks in this, the northern field of the two containing most of the site of the village. This field contained the manor. There is some confusion about the name. Some maps show "Nether Adber", others have "Thorny" as the name of the vanished village. Both existed, but which is this?

B3148 to Sherborne Traffic is very light on this road between Marston Magna and Sherborne, as notices announce it is closed. There are certainly traffic lights in operation on Park Bridge, some 200 metres ahead, where the road crosses the Yeovil-Castle Cary railway line, but some vehicles still seem to be getting through in both directions. In the distance is Rimpton Hill.

Maize stubble near White Post Inn In the past, maize was grown in Britain mainly as animal fodder, although sweetcorn varieties have been grown on a small scale in the south-east for the table. New varieties which will ripen in our climate have now been introduced. In Victorian times maize for silage was cut green and fed to cattle in June and July. Today it is left to become as ripe as possible and harvested with a special machine which chops stalk, leaf and head together; it is then stored in silos.
