Usage Tips

NOTE: On the OS boundary maps for 1900 and 1935-44, this parish and another one 24 miles to the southwest are both labelled "Compton Abbas". After an hour of checking various sources it has been discovered that the current Compton Abbas is not far south of Shaftesbury and adjacent to Melbury Abbas, while the present West Compton is southwest of Dorchester and adjacent to Compton Valence. No source checked (Wikipedia, GENUKI or A Vision of Britain Through Time) mention this in their descriptions. Do be cautious when tracing ancestors in either of these parishes.
