Talk:West Compton, Dorset

West Compton and Compton Abbas
On the OS boundary maps for 1900 and 1935-44, both of these parishes (24 miles apart) are labelled "Compton Abbas". After an hour of checking various sources I have discovered that the current Compton Abbas is not far south of Shaftesbury and adjacent to Melbury Abbas, while the presetnt West Compton is southwest of Dorchester and adjacent to Compton Valence. None of the sources mention this in their descriptions. Perhaps you could draw less inquisitive Wikipedia users to this fact. --Oldontarian (talk) 14:53, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
