Shaftesbury is Dorset's only hill top town built on the edge of a
plateau, giving fine views over Blackmoor Vale. Shaftsbury became a
place of pilgrimage and Royal Patronage following King Alfred's
foundation of an abbey on its airy hilltop in AD888 and interment of
Edward the Martyr's body there in AD980. |
