Heddle House in Tower Hill is built in a mixture of rubble, flint and red brick with timber framing and brick noggin. Probably originally 18th century with major remodelling in the early 20th century when the shop front was added in the angle of the two ranges. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1324615 Iwerne Minster is a small village on the edge of the Blackmore Vale, about 5 miles south of Shaftesbury and the same distance north of Blandford Forum. The village is within the Cranborne Chase and West Wiltshire Down Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There is evidence of occupation since prehistoric times. The River Iwerne flows from a spring in the middle of the village. The original Minister is now St Mary's Church and was built by the Normans on the site of an earlier church.
