Stalbridge

The 15th century church here has a striking 19th century tower which provides a landmark throughout Blackmoor Vale. Perhaps even more impressive is the town’s Market Cross standing 30 feet high and richly carved with scenes of the Crucifixion and Resurrection. Just outside the town, Stalbridge Park (private) sheltered Charles I after his defeat at Marston Moor. The house (now demolished) was built by Richard Boyle, 1st Earl of Cork, and it was here that his 7th son, the celebrated physicist and chemist Robert Boyle carried out the experiments that eventually led to his formulation of Boyle’s Law.
