My Dad
The church at Whitchurch is a lovely place to wander and muse. My father died out shooting at Mapperton when I was 11, and what a terrible shock it was.
What is nice for me now, 25 years later, is to still be able to walk down through the village past the 5 Bells pub, or over the... [more]

My grandparents and visits to them
My grandparents William and Amelia Love lived in Ryall. My grandmother purchased the cottage they lived in on her marriage. They had three sons Wilfred, Howard and Edward. My father Howard died in 2007. I don't think the village has changed that much since I used to visit as a child when I used to play with... [more]

My grandfather William Love was born at the cottage attached to the butcher and slaughterhouse at the foot of Love Lane. This Lane was named after his father (my great-grandfather). William Love worked at the Moore's bakery for 30 years. I have never lived in this area and would love to hear any memories anyone may have. My father was Howard... [more]

The Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II
I was about 3 years old when the present Queen was crowned. Us children went up to the manor house where they held a party outside. I remember someone with a cine camera filming the event. I have always wondered what became of that film which almost certainly showed me enjoying the party. I lived at the village post office and... [more]

Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Whitchurch Canonicorum, inspired by Frith photos.
Dorset Villages Photographic Memories
St Candida is generally known by her English name, St Wite. Only this church and Westminster Abbey have the honour of holding the relics of the saint to whom it is dedicated. St Wite was killed on an Anglo-Saxon mission to Germany. The churchyard also contains a Cold War martyr, the Bulgarian dissident Georgi Markov, who was assassinated by a ricin pellet as he walked across Waterloo Bridge in 1978. The view is eastwards from the junction beside Church House.

Dorset Revisited Photographic Memories
Hidden away in the appropriately named Marshwood Vale is Whitchurch Canonicorum. It takes its name from the canons of Wells and Salisbury cathedrals, who shared its tithes from 1220.

Lyme Regis Photographic 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... [more]
