Description:

Dorchester has a profusion of Neolithic, Bronze- and Iron-Age monuments, including the most impressive hill-fort in Britain at Maiden Castle. After its reduction by Vespasian's legion the Romans founded the town on the site it still occupies. The medieval town became an important market centre and enclosure in 1874 allowed the growth of suburbs. "In short, Dorchester Past is a must-have ...A town lucky in many ways, not least because it has Jo to tell its story." Dorset Magazine
