Child Okeford is situated at the foot of Hambledon Hill, a Neolithic ceremonial burial site with an Iron Age hill fort. The hill was the site of a battle in the English Civil War. A century later General James Wolfe used the hill's steeper sides to prepare his troops; they later surprised the French at Quebec by scaling the Plains of Abraham under cover of darkness.
