Chettle is a small village and civil parish in the county of Dorset in southern England. It lies within the North Dorset administrative district, 6 miles (9.7 km) north-east of the town of Blandford Forum.[2] It is sited at the head of a gently-sloping valley on the dip slope of the chalk formation called Cranborne Chase. The A354 trunk road crosses the valley about 1 km to the south. In 2013 the estimated population of the civil parish was 90.[1]
Chettle House, the village manor, is a red brick Baroque mansion designed by Thomas Archer, a pupil of Vanbrugh, and built by the Bastard brothers of Blandford Forum during the reign of Queen Anne.[3][4] Pevsner considered it to be one of England's finest Baroque houses.[5] Two rounded ends were added to the house in 1912.[3] Part of the house is open to the public.
A book about the village, "Enduring Village", was published in August, 2008.[6]
