The garden and village We have a fairly
large garden in which our guests are welcome to relax after their day
out. Closest to the house, the lawn is surrounded by well-established
borders. Further away, there is a large vegetable and fruit garden where
we grow most of our own produce. This is fringed by apple, pear, and
plum trees and beyond, there is a small area of meadow - and the chicken
run. For over 300 years, up to about 1970, the whole village (except the church and vicarage) belonged to the Lulworth Estate. When farming on the Estate was re-organised in the early l970's both farms in the village became redundant and the farmhouses and associated farm buildings were sold off. We bought the house from the estate in 1976.
