West Stafford is a village and civil parish in southwest Dorset, England, situated in the Frome valley 2 miles (3.2 km) east of Dorchester. In the 2011 census it was recorded as a distinct settlement within the parish. The village’s history includes a connection to the Dorsetshire & Wiltshire Fortress Royal Engineers, a part‑time unit of Britain’s Royal Engineers formed in 1908. During World War I the unit helped defend the naval base of Portland Harbour, and it also provided a detachment to serve with the British Expeditionary Force on the Western Front. Between the World Wars the unit took on an additional role of anti‑aircraft searchlight defence, and in World War II it was expanded into a full searchlight regiment that served during the Plymouth Blitz. The village’s rural setting and historical links give it a quiet, characterful atmosphere within the Dorset countryside.
