Seaborough is a small village and civil parish in the county of Dorset in southwest England. It is sited in the valley of the River Axe and lies approximately Script error: No such module "convert". south of Crewkerne in Somerset. The parish was historically in Somerset, part of the hundred of Crewkerne,[1] but was transferred to Dorset in 1896.[2][3] In 2013 the estimated population of the civil parish was 60.[4]
The village church is small and mostly not of ancient construction. Ralph Wightman, broadcaster, agriculturist and a native of Dorset, described it as "delightful", and claimed that the round arch of the porch was so low it "would remove the hat of any man of average height."[5]
Seaborough lies on the northern side of the Axe valley, beneath the Script error: No such module "convert". Seaborough Hill. The minor lane which passes through the village and up the hill is noted for being particularly steep.[3] At the bottom of the village the river is crossed by a small stone bridge, close to which is an old ducking pool, into which scolding wives would historically have been dipped in an attempt to 'cure' them of their condition.[6]
In March 2013 a fire at the Script error: No such module "convert". piggery at Seaborough Manor destroyed the building and killed about nine hundred pigs. Fifty firefighters took about three hours to tackle the blaze.[7]
