Child Okeford Dorset.

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.

A World War I War Memorial in the form of a stone cross stands at the road junction known in the village as The Cross.
