Cranborne

Village in Dorset, England, 41 km/25 mi northeast of Dorchester; population (2001) 1,900. Its church dates from about 1440. Cranborne lies in a area of natural beauty known as Cranborne Chase, covering some 260 sq km/100 sq mi. Heavily wooded in the Middle Ages, it used to be a royal hunting ground.

A Benedictine abbey was founded at Cranborne about 980. The core of the manor house is 14th century, but it was refashioned in 1607–11, when acquired by the Cecil family, who still own it. James I and Charles I stayed here while hunting in the Chase. Charles I visited Cranborne again in 1644, just before the second Battle of Newbury.
