Dorset memories

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.

Farmers of Dorset

My grandfather Cecil Brown was born in 1887 at Caundle Purse on Tripp Farm. His father was Albert Brown and his mother was Emma Sheppard, they were farmers all their lives in and around Barrow Hill, Stalbridge and Trent Farm.

Polegate Farm

I stayed at Polegate Farm in Caundle Marsh as a child. I have a photo of me with a little girl and a dog, on the back is written Phyllis Cooper. I have no idea of my connection but do remember the very happy time and new experience it was as a London child. I also remember connections with Sherborne, a nice looking man named Tom who drove a very smart car and would come up to London driving a lady who I understood was the headmistress of Sherborne school. I believe Tom had a wife named Muriel. I wonder if the farm still exists and who were the Coopers and how were they connected to my family. It is all along time ago.!!

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.

Weekends With The Jones

We used to vist Kim and Dave jones in Mappowder every weekend after we met them in Barbados in 1995. Great friends and good fun. Very special times.
