It is sited in the valley of the River Axe and lies within the West Dorset administrative district about {{convert|2|mi|km}} south of Crewkerne in Somerset. The parish was previously part of the hundred of Crewkerne,[2] but was transferred to within Dorset in 1896.[3] In 2013 the estimated population of the civil parish was 60.[1] The village church is small and mostly not of ancient construction. Ralph Wightman, broadcaster, agriculturist and a native of Dorset, described it as "delightful", and claimed that the round arch of the porch was so low it "would remove the hat of any man of average height."[4] Seaborough lies on the northern side of the Axe valley, beneath the {{convert|204|m|ft|adj=mid|-high}} Seaborough Hill. The minor lane which passes through the village and up the hill is noted for being particularly steep.[3] At the bottom of the village the river is crossed by a small stone bridge, close to which is an old ducking pool, into which scolding wives would historically have been dipped in an attempt to 'cure' them of their condition.[5] In March 2013 a fire at the {{convert|100|m|ft|adj=mid|-long}} piggery at Seaborough Manor destroyed the building and killed about nine hundred pigs. Fifty firefighters took about three hours to tackle the blaze.[6] References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=https://www.dorsetforyou.com/344882|publisher=Dorset County Council|accessdate=7 March 2015|date=20 January 2015|title=Parish Population Data}} 2. ^{{cite web|title=Somerset Hundreds|url=http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/SOM/Miscellaneous/|publisher=GENUKI|accessdate=8 October 2011}} 3. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.opcdorset.org/SeaboroughFiles/Seaborough.htm|publisher=Dorset Online Parish Clerk|title=Seaborough|year=2012|accessdate=14 May 2013}} 4. ^{{cite book|author=Ralph Wightman|title=Portrait of Dorset|year=1983|edition=4|page=151|ISBN=0 7090 0844 9|publisher=Robert Hale Limited}} 5. ^{{cite book|title=West Dorset Holiday and Tourist Guide|publisher=West Dorset District Council|page=17|date=c. 1983}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-dorset-21978572|date=29 March 2013|publisher=BBC|accessdate=9 May 2013|title=Hundreds of pigs die in Beaminster farm fire}} External links{{Commons category inline|Seaborough}}{{West Dorset}}{{Dorset-geo-stub}} 3 : Civil parishes in Dorset|Villages in Dorset|Places formerly in Somerset |
