Within the manor of Winterborne St Martin, settlements at Rew (shown as Orchard on some maps) and Ashton were lost. Within the Winterborne Valley a further four, at Herringston, Farringdon Came and Cripton (just to the south of the West Stafford bypass). Within five miles of the manor a further thirteen villages and settlements ceased to exist. Two further villages in Dorset within the former fitz Pain fiefdom disappeared with the ravages of the plague.

The map comes from The Lost Vilages of Dorset, Ronald Good, Dovecote Press 1979

The thirteen villages were Buckland Ripers, Burton (Charminster) Corton, East Shilvinghampton and West Shilvinghampton, Friar Waddon, Frome Belet, Frome Panters, Frome Whitfield, Kingston Maurwood, Stinsford, Stottingway, and Whitcombe.

The two other villages referred to were Leucombe and Woolcombe Matravers.
