The place

Frome St Quintin is a village and civil parish in the county of Dorset, southern England, situated approximately 11 miles (18 km) northwest of the county town of Dorchester. It is located on an outcrop of greensand near the head of the Frome valley, among the chalk hills of the Dorset Downs. The area features naturally occurring springs, and the first habitation likely dates back to the Roman era. The parish church dates back to the 13th century. Just over 0.5 miles west of the village, within Cattistock, lies Chantmarle, a 15th-century manor house with later additions.
