About Fencing in Sherborne
Sherborne in Dorset traces its religious history back to 705 AD, when Saint Aldhelm founded an abbey that served as the seat of a bishopric for 27 successive Saxon bishops until the diocese moved to Old Sarum in 1075. The abbey church was rebuilt in its present form in 1550 under Edward VI and later became home to Sherborne School, one of the oldest schools in the country, giving the town its enduring reputation for honey coloured stone buildings and academic tradition.
