Middleton, Dorset
The former town of Milton (or Middleton) in Dorset, England was cleared by the local landowner, Joseph Damer, Lord Milton, in the 1770s. This was a result of a fashion amongst English landowners to improve the amenity of their homes by converting surrounding farmland into open parkland. Where buildings were deemed to spoil the view, they were removed, including villages and towns, as in the case of Milton.

History A church, dedicated to Saint Sampson, was founded at Milton in the reign of King Athelstan (who also granted an annual fair).
