Pentridge: Harvest in Action at Manor Farm
The weather this year allowed for slightly earlier harvesting.
With lots of sun and little rain, we were all able to enjoy watching the combine harvester this year. And just look at the size of those stacks!

Pentridge unveils its hidden past.
ARCHAEOLOGIST REVEALS ALL
As you make our way along the A354 from Woodyates, past Pentridge towards Sixpenny Handley, you may notice some very unusual features. Were you to examine a local Ordnance Survey map however, you would notice some even stranger names. So what does this all mean and who or what has transformed our landscape in this extraordinary way?
To answer these questions and more, Steve Wallis, Senior Archaeologist at Dorset County Council, also author and keen photographer, will be coming to Pentridge to give an illustrated talk in which he will endeavour to guide us through the history of this amazing landscape. He has also agreed to share some fascinating discoveries made during excavations on the site of the Weymouth Relief Road.
It promises to be a most enjoyable evening. Entrance will be £10 to include a glass of wine and light refreshments. Booking essential.
A GUIDED WALK IN AND AROUND PENTRIDGE
To complement his earlier talk, Steve Wallis has kindly agreed to offer a guided walk. On this occasion Steve will guide us through some of of the many historic and natural features of the landscape, highlighting archaeological discoveries in and around Pentridge. This will involve some steep climbs, but I can assure you it will be worth the effort. Sensible shoes are recommended.
The price will be £10 to include a picnic lunch consisting of an award-winning handmade cornish pasty (a vegetarian option available on request), washed down with refreshing Somerset cider. The walk will be limited to 30 people.
We are most grateful to Steve for giving up his valuable time to be with us on these two days and hopefully, when we next venture out into our stunning countryside, it will be with a greater knowledge and understanding. As Einstein himself said, on observing the countryside, “The joy of looking and comprehending is natures most beautiful gift”.
