Weather vane, Sturminster Marshall
Weather vanes have always been more than just a wind direction device. Created by skilled craftsman, there is true artistic expression in the varied designs. Initially wood vanes were carved by carpenters or furniture makers, and iron, copper and tin ones were forged by the local blacksmith or tinsmith. In the 19th century weather vanes started to be mass-produced from moulds.

Telephone box, Sturminster Marshall
The K6 telephone box stands on a small green on the western side of the village. There is no telephone inside the box.
In 1935, the Post Office commissioned a new kiosk from Sir Giles Gilbert Scott to celebrate the Jubilee of King George V. The K6 Jubilee Kiosk, as it is known, was similar to the K2 box, being made of cast iron and painted red but was 25% lighter in weight. By the end of the 1930s there were 20,000 K6 telephone boxes in use all over the UK.

Village green, Sturminster Marshall
In front of the oak tree to the right of the phone box is a commemorative stone for the coronation of Edward VII; presumably the tree was planted then.
