Stourpaine, in its quiet allure, conceals fascinating titbits about the local area. For one, the name Stourpaine, anciently ‘Styrene,’ is said to be derived from 'Stour,' meaning ‘the stirring or bustling place.’ In contrast to its meaning, Stourpaine exudes serene rural tranquillity, making it an ideal location for peaceful living. The second fun fact revolves around the village's annual festival. Known as the Stourpaine Festival, this features the traditional tug of war games, whisking villagers and visitors into a whirlwind of brawny and gleeful competition, echoing the spirit of community and camaraderie.

Allow Swain and Rand's, with its exemplary services, to play its part in enhancing the allure of your Stourpaine home. From windows and doors to conservatories, orangeries, and porches, our comprehensive range of home improvements will ensure that every element of your space is a testament to quality and elegance.

Box pews were installed in the 18th century but by the 19th century the church was so dilapidated that rebuilding was undertaken (apart from the tower); the architect for the rebuilding was T. H. Wyatt.After a funeral service at the Holy Trinity Church in Stourpaine on 16 June, Major Bruce Shand's body was cremated.
