Does anyone know anything about the history of Poolestown, Stalbridge? Perhaps why it has that name?
I ask because my ancestors were called Poole, came from Stalbridge and some of them lived in Poolestown.
It's close to the river Bibbern, so I guess it may just be a place where the water pooled. Although I would love it to have been named after my lot!
Grateful for any help,
Pat
