  • Stalbridge er en liten by i Blackmore Vale i Dorset, England, nær grensen til Somerset. Den eldste kjente bosetningen på stedet var i romersk tid. Byen fikk markedsrettigheter under Georg I (1714–1727), men det er mange år siden det ble holdt regelmessige markeder der. Det ti meter høye markedskorset i sentrum regnes som et av landets fineste. Sognekirken er fra det 15. århundre, med et tårn fra 19. århundre. Blant kjente personer fra Stalbridge finner man Robert Boyle, som eide Stalbridge Manor, og forfatteren Douglas Adams. Store deler av Haikerens guide til galaksen ble skrevet i byen, og Adams har også sunget i kirkekoret som ung gutt. Kunstneren sir James Thornhill bodde i Thornhill Park, rett sør for byen. Han kjøpte eiendommen i 1725. To år senere reiste han en obelisk i parken til ære for Georg II. (no)
