A village and civil parish in the county of Dorset in southern England, situated approximately five miles (8.0 km) south of Yeovil in Somerset. It lies on the route of the ancient Harrow Way.
Halstock formerly constituted a liberty, containing only the parish itself. It was the site of the martyrdom of Saint Juthwara (Juthware), and a Romano-British Villa excavated between 1967 and 1985.
The village formerly had two inns, “The New Inn” (New Inn Farm), which closed in the late 1950s, and the unusually named “The Quiet Woman” (usually taken as a reference to St Juthware)
