About

Puddletown is a town of about 761 people in south east. (Village in Dorset, England.) According to Wikipedia: "Puddletown is a village in the civil parish of Athelhampton and Puddletown, in Dorset, England. It is situated by the River Piddle, from which it derives its name, about 4.5 miles (7 km) northeast of the county town Dorchester. Its earlier name Piddletown fell out of favour, probably because of connotations of the word 'piddle'. The name Puddletown was officially sanctioned in the late 1950s. Puddletown's civil parish covered 2,908 hectares and extended to the River Frome to the south. In 2013, the estimated population of the civil parish was 1450."
