Here's part one of The Happy Camper's latest (mis)adventure. Kristine Redmond and he spend a week in the region of Dorset, England. They visit Kristine's daughter and her hubbies family - but also spend the week taking in some hot spots of the country. The first day is a quick visit to the incredible and historic Sherborne Abbey (a 4 minute walk from where they are staying). More nature oriented stuff soon to come. But ya gotta visit Abbey. It's awesome.

Sherborne Abbey In All Its Glory.
the heaviest peal of eight bells in the world. Some see thirteen centuries of history, ever since St Aldhelm, new bishop of the West Saxons, chose to build his cathedral here.
Two Saxon kings are buried here; for over 800 years the chanting of Benedictine monks filled the air. Thomas Wyatt, Tudor courtier and poet, has his grave here; Sir Walter Raleigh worshipped here. But it is a living tradition: the Abbey today is still the spiritual home of a large and vibrant Christian community. It remains above all a place of prayer and of worship.
First, a little history. The See (or Diocese) of Sherborne was created in AD 705 when the great Diocese of Winchester was divided in two, and Aldhelm, Abbot of Malmesbury, was appointed as the first Bishop of the West Saxons. Aldhelm chose the place of the Scire-burne -- the 'clear stream' -- as the site for his seat, or cathedra.
The new Cathedral of Sherborne served St Aldhelm and twenty-six succeeding Saxon Bishops. Small at first, it was later enlarged. A few important early features still survive (when you come into the Abbey, see the fine Saxon doorway in the NW corner). However, soon after the Norman Conquest the Bishop's seat was moved to Old Sarum, and later Salisbury. Earlier, in 998, St Wulfsin had ejected the community of secular canons who served the Cathedral, and invited monks of the Order of St Benedict to replace them. Sherborne Abbey remained a Benedictine house until 1539 when Abbot John Barnstaple and his sixteen fellow monks surrendered it to King Henry VIII.

Sherborne Museum - Video 1
Established in 1968, the museum developed from the town's historical society and set out to preserve local heritage for future generations. It occupies the former gatehouse and almonry of the monastery once associated with Sherborne Abbey in what is now a Grade II listed building. In 2007, a large upper room was rented from the neighbouring Somerset and Dorset Family History Centre to house its reserve collections.
The Museum aims to display the social, historical and industrial life of the town and its environs since Neolithic times, as well as its natural history. Highlights include fossils from the Inferior Oolite, a unique medieval wall-painting, an electronic touch-screen version of the 15th century Sherborne Missal, silk and gloving displays, a fine Edwardian era dolls' house and 200 watercolours of local flora by the pioneering botanical artist Diana Ruth Wilson (1886-1969). The photographs, postcards and paintings combined form one of the largest private collections of images of a town in this country.

Sherborne is a market town and civil parish in north west Dorset, in South West England. Sherborne is sited on the River Yeo, on the edge of the Blackmore Vale, 6 miles east of Yeovil. The A30 road, which connects London to Penzance, runs through the town.
Sherborne's historic buildings include Sherborne Abbey, its manor house, independent schools, and two castles: the ruins of a 12th-century fortified palace and the 16th-century mansion known as Sherborne Castle built by Sir Walter Raleigh. Much of the old town, including the abbey and many medieval and Georgian buildings, is built from distinctive ochre-coloured ham stone. The town is served by Sherborne railway station.
In 1594 Sir Walter Raleigh built an Elizabethan mansion in the grounds of the old palace, today known as Sherborne Castle. Sherborne became home to Yorkshireman, Captain Christopher Levett who came to the West Country as His Majesty's Woodward of Somersetshire, and who remained in Sherborne when he turned to a career as a naval captain and early explorer of New England.
Sherborne was made the capital of Wessex, one of the seven Saxon kingdoms of England, and King Alfred's elder brothers King Ethelbert and King Ethelbald are buried in the abbey. In 705 the diocese was split between Sherborne and Winchester, and King Ine founded an abbey for St Aldhelm, the first bishop of Sherborne. In 933, King Æthelstan granted land at Sherborne to the nuns of Shaftesbury Abbey under the condition that they would recite the Psalter once a year on All Saints' day and say prayers for the king.
Other notable historic buildings in the town include the almshouses of saints John the Baptist and John the Evangelist, founded in 1438 and expanded in the Victorian era in indistinguishable medieval style architecture; the conduit, hospice of St Julian, and Lord Digby school, now known as Sherborne House (designed by Benjamin Bastard). Sherborne House, famed for its mural by Sir James Thornhill.
