Neighbourhood information

Information correct at time of writing. The Old Court House is located in the popular historic village Cerne Abbas, which can be found between the market town Sherborne and the county town of Dorchester. Established in the ninth century by St Edwold the hermit, Cerne Abbas grew up around the Benedictine Abbey from which it takes its name.
