"An Unexpected Oasis at the Post Office"

"At the wisteria-hung post office in Sherborne one can buy not only stamps, but 'Beer, Stout and Cider, to be consumed off the premises' - noteworthy in a publess village. Architectural treats range from the splendors of Sherborne House to the oddity of a cottage with a Norman-arched doorway. Flowers bloom delightfully among vegetables in attractive village gardens."
