haywards of loders
John (1813) moved to Berkshire. Thomas (1787), Robert (1759) and John(1738) are all connected to Loders by being born, baptised, married and buried here, or in surrounding villages. Their ancestral home one might say. Still tracing them further via Dorset OPC and BT records. Collecting any photos related to these ancestors of mine and where they lived. Photos bring back happy memories and are good records of events.

Haywards of Loders
Wondering if anyone knows of Hayward family, buried in the churchyard surrounds, that farmed in the Loders area back to at least 1750 or further back. Any info for family tree welcome.

Extracts From Loders & Dorset books
Loders was built in the domain of a Benedictine priory founded by the Norman grandee Baldwin de Redvers during the reign of Henry I. The present parish church formerly served the priory; the beautiful gardens of Loders Court surround the church.

A dog sits patiently in the middle of the road. Perhaps its master is a few yards away in Loders' public house, the Farmers Arms? Loders has changed little in fifty years, though the outskirts of Bridport have crept nearer.
An extract from from"Dorset Revisited Photographic Memories".
This attractive little village in West Dorset stands at the junction of a number of ancient packhorse trails. Some of these, leading from the sea, were used by smugglers until well into the last century - or so one or two of the locals will tell you.
An extract from from"Dorset Living Memories".
These holiday caravans are sited behind Rivermead House. This
was among the ‘horror pictures’ used by the land agent John
Cripwell in order to encourage Lord Antrim and the council of the
National Trust to buy two thousand of acres from Lyme Regis to
Eype. Mobile homes between River Way and Bridge Road, on the
west bank of the River Char, have also been targeted by nature,
notably in a flash flood in the 1970s.

There are sea defences
(top left) where Lower
Sea Lane converges with
Higher Sea Lane. Below, a
shingle beach with patches
of pea-grit provides a spot
for rest and relaxation
between Raffey’s Ledge and
the Mouth Rocks, where
the River Char enters the
sea. Evan’s Cliff is to the
east (centre), followed by
the higher cliffs of Cain’s
Folly and Golden Cap (top
right). Jane Austen writes in
‘Persuasion’: ‘Charmouth
with its high ground and
extensive sweeps of country,
and still more, its sweet
retired bay, backed by dark
cliffs where fragments of
low rock among the sands
make it the happiest spot
for watching the flow of the
tide; for sitting in unwearied
contemplation.
