Durweston
Durweston ( ) is a village and civil parish in the English county of Dorset. It lies within the North Dorset administrative district, north-west of the town of Blandford Forum. It is sited by the River Stour at the point where it flows out of the Blackmore Vale through a steep, narrow gap between the Dorset Downs and Cranborne Chase. In the 2011 census the parish had a population of 398.〔
==History==
In 1086 Durweston appeared in two entries in the Domesday Book, being recorded as ''Derwinestone'' and ''Dervinestone''. It was in Pimperne Hundred, had fifteen households and a total taxable value of 6.5 geld units. The tenants-in-chief were Aiulf the chamberlain and Hawise, wife of Hugh son of Grip. ''Dyrwyneston'' may be another variation.〔Plea Rolls of the Court of Common Pleas; National Archives; CP 40/541; year 1396; http://aalt.law.uh.edu/AALT6/R2/CP40no541a/aCP40no541afronts/IMG_0148.htm; 5th entry, middle of line 2〕
Durweston parish was previously two parishes: Durweston and Knighton. The present-day parish church is on the site of the church that belonged to Knighton parish; the original Durweston church occupied a site near Durweston Mill, though little trace remains today. The two parishes were combined in 1381 for reasons not known. The current church was mostly rebuilt in 1846, though the tower dates from the 15th century.
A new village hall was opened in Durweston in April 2003. It is a venue for entertainment events and social gatherings, and is also a business conference centre for the wider community of North Dorset.
