Silton is a small village and civil parish in north Dorset, England, situated in the Blackmore Vale 4 miles (6.4 km) northwest of Gillingham. In the 2011 census the civil parish had 57 households and a population of 123.
In 1086 Silton was recorded in the Domesday Book as Seltone; it had 16 households, 11.5 ploughlands, 28 acres (11 ha) of meadow and 4 mills. It was in the hundred of Gillingham and the tenant-in-chief was William of Falaise. This original settlement was near the church, on a low ridge between the River Stour and a minor tributary to the southwest.
Silton was for many years the country residence of Sir Hugh Wyndham (1602-1684), whose memorial by the sculptor Jan van Nost is in the parish church of St Nicholas.
What will my world be like
When I say goodbye
Will you cry at all
Will everybody know who vanished now
Whose light burned out that night
All alone or deep love shown
A sinner seeking a saint come down
Will I feel life the day
When the drapery falls
The grim reaper calls
To take me home
What will I see / who be
When the cold takes my hand
Will I understand
I ever can't be free
Will my shadow ever disappear
Will I fear my fate
When the never calls forever
Will you listen to my words?
Will I feel life the day
When the drapery falls
The grim reaper calls
To take me home
What will I see / who be
When the cold takes my hand
Will I understand
What it means to be happy
I ever can't be free
Will I choose the day
My last breath fades away
Will it set my soul free
Will a new world welcome me?
Will I feel life the day
When the drapery falls
The grim reaper calls
To take me home
What will I see / who be
When the cold takes my hand
Will I understand
What it means to be happy
