About Oxfords Bakery
We are the original artisan bakery. A place where you can get a beautiful sourdough loaf made using stoneground organic flour, at the same time as choosing a Dorset Lardy Cake. Like what you taste? Then book on one of our bakery courses!

The bakery itself has been standing for well over 200 years.
Frank and Olive Oxford bought the village bakehouse in Alweston, near Sherborne, and they began our journey in September of 1911.
The ovens we use today were installed in 1921. Our largest dough mixer, the last working one of its kind anywhere in the world, is 75 years old.
The terracotta tiled floors and whitewashed walls are a step back in time, but the dedicated bakers and skills learnt from generations past, within these walls, are what carry us ahead into the future.
