Memories of Dorset

Memory of Mappowder, Lovelaces Copse

I have very fond memories of Mappowder. I used to come there every holiday to my uncle's farm, Lovelaces Copse, his name was Count Potoski. I had my own horse called Mahayleque. I used to go and get the milk from the farmer down the road on my horse. It was a wonderful time for me and one that I miss now that I'm 62.

I grew up here, a tiny hamlet underneath Bulbarrow Hill. My grandfather and father are buried in the churchyard. My mother still lives here and is a great stalwart of this tiny community.

I am from this family - my grandmother was a Melcombe.

Mother's Memories

My mother Patricia Bingham visited Bingham's Melcombe probably in the 1950's and told me, her daughter, that the house was derelict and the hall was being used as a hayshed!  I do hope to vist the place at some time next year, and wonder who owns it now and if possible to  get in touch with the present owner.  Look forward to hearing from someone sometime.  Hilary Bingham White.
