Maypole, Sturminster Marshall
The first maypole was erected in 1101 after permission for a fair had been granted by the Lord of the Manor, the Earl of Pembroke. Restorations are known to have taken place in 1669, 1857 and 1897 and the present pole follows the 1897 design. The 1986 pole is 35 feet high and is topped by a weather vane designed as a water rat, the village emblem.

Weather vane, Sturminster Marshall
The word 'vane' comes from the Anglo-Saxon word 'fane', meaning 'flag'. Originally, fabric pennants would show archers the direction of the wind. Later, the cloth flags were replaced by metal ones, decorated with the nobleman's coat of arms. It was understood that shifts in the wind often indicated changes in the weather. Cardinal points were not added until several centuries later.
