The Village of Durweston is situated on the southwest bank of the River Stour, it is approximately two miles northwest of Blandford Forum, 5+1/2 miles southeast of Sturminster Newton and 9 miles south of Shaftesbury. The village boasts a well used village hall and a very popular primary school and is one of the last villages to maintain the tradition of "shroving", a regional juvenile begging custom of obscure origin. Every Shrove Tuesday children from Durweston Primary School process around the village during the morning, calling on local people, singing songs and giving flowers. Those who are visited may also give the children bread or other tidbits to eat. One suggestion for the tradition's origin is that it is a survival of a medieval dole, though it was unrecorded in the region before the end of the 18th century. By the 1950s it continued in only a few places, and only survives at Durweston due to a bequest in 1925.
