The Old School House
from Refined 142
WOOLLAND, BLANDFORD DORSET
Nestled on the lower slopes of Bulbarrow Hill, on the edge of the Blackmore Vale, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, sits the historic archetypal village of Woolland. Created as a model village for Montague Scott Williams in the mid 19th century, it subsequently became home to the late renowned sculptress Dame Elisabeth Frink in the late 20th century. The Old School House presides over an enviable position within the village, located directly opposite Woolland church, which was designed and built by Sir George Gilbert Scott and is also home to one of the UK’s oldest and most historic yew trees, reputedly being over 2,000 years old.
