“POXWELL, (or Pokeswell), a parish in the hundred of Winfrith, county Dorset, 6 miles S. by E. of Dorchester, its post town, and 5½ N.E. of Weymouth. The parish is intersected by the road from Wareham to Weymouth. It is inconsiderable, and wholly agricultural. On a hill in the neighbourhood is a Druidical circle of fifteen stones, measuring 13 feet in diameter. Stone is quarried for building purposes. The glebe comprises about 30½ acres. The living is a rectory annexed to that of Warmwill, in the diocese of Sarum. The church is an ancient structure with the old manor house adjoining. There is a free school, which is entirely supported by J. T. Trenchard, Esq., who is lord of the manor and sole landowner.
