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.

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.
