About

Sherborne East ward encompasses the historic town centre and its immediate residential neighbourhoods to the east of the River Yeo. The area is centred on Sherborne Abbey, a significant medieval structure with a noted fan-vaulted ceiling. The main commercial streets, Cheap Street and Half Moon Street, contain independent shops and traditional stone buildings. The ward includes the grounds of Sherborne School, a prominent independent school founded in the 16th century.

The local geography is defined by the river and the surrounding low hills of the Dorset countryside. Residential areas feature a mix of older limestone cottages and more modern housing developments. The ward contains several green spaces, including the gardens of Sherborne Castle, which lie just outside the town centre. Transport connections are primarily via the A30 road, linking the area to other towns in the region.
