Badger Watch Dorset

Buckland Newton Manor

The Englishman's home is his castle! Some are more like a Castle than others, but this one fulfils the archetypal dream, it looks an amazing place.

The Badger Cull! Bureaucracy gone mad!

Footpath at Glanvilles Wootton, Dorset, previously Wootton Glanville!

I imagine all the landscaping was done by the father of the great Duke of Marlborough who lived in the farm house called Round Chimneys around 1645. Part of the farmhouse can be rented as a holiday cottage at this present time.

The building I first thought was the manor house was indeed the Rectory. The Old Rectory is Grade II Listed and is believed to date from around 1780 whilst the particularly attractive Georgian front elevation was added in the early 1800s .

The name of the Parish was changed in 1985, having previously been Wootton Glanville.
