Athelhampton is a settlement in the civil parish of Athelhampton and Puddletown, in Dorset, England, situated approximately 5 miles (8 km) east of Dorchester. It consists of a manor house and a former Church of England parish church. Dorset County Council's 2013 mid-year estimate of the population of the civil parish is 30. On 1 April 2024 the parish was abolished and merged with Puddletown to form "Athelhampton and Puddletown".
Hauntings are told as reported — by owners, guests, guides and investigators — never as fact. The history underneath is often real, and sometimes tragic; we treat it with respect. Background from Wikipedia.
