Knaveswell farm is situated
between the beautiful village of Corfe Castle and the Victorian seaside
resort of Swanage in an area known as the Isle of Purbeck. Corfe Castle is a
ruined castle, village and civil parish in the English county of Dorset. The
castle dates back to the 11th century, and commands a gap in the Purbeck
Hills on the route between Wareham and Swanage. The oldest surviving
structure on the castle site dates to the 11th century, although evidence
exists of some form of stronghold predating the Norman Conquest. Edward the
Martyr was assassinated at the site on March 18, 978. Construction of a
stone hall and inner bailey wall occurred in the 11th century and extensive
construction of other towers, halls and walls occurred during the reigns of
Henry I, John and Henry III. By the 13th century the castle was being used
as a royal treasure storehouse and prison. The castle remained a royal
fortress until sold by Elizabeth I in the 16th century to her Lord
Chancellor, Sir Christopher Hatton. The castle was bought by Sir John Bankes,
Attorney General to Charles I, in 1635. During the English Civil War, the
castle twice came under siege by Parliamentarian forces. Sir John Bankes was
away from his estate attending to Charles I so defence of the castle was led
by his wife Lady Mary Bankes — "Brave Dame Mary" as she became known.
Knaveswell is a 156 acredairy
farm with a herd of about 80 Holstein Friesian cows. On the farm there is an

The unusual name of the
village of Dolphinholme derives from an ancient Scandinavian settlement and
has nothing to do with the marine mammal! In 1784 the first mechanised
worsted spinning mill was established here, and a factory village grew up
around this early industrial site. That mill closed in 1865, but another,
Corless Mill, continued working until 1926. The village is split into two
parts - a higher village and a lower part situated on the River Wyre and
many of the houses in Lower Dolphinholme are the existing mill buildings and
dwellings. The river is the boundary between the Lancaster and Wyre
districts, with the part in Wyre designated as a historic conservation area.
The village is on the edge of the Forest of Bowland.
Dolphinholme farm is a family
run dairy farm, on the western edge of the Trough of Bowland, which is a
designated area of outstanding natural beauty (A.N.O.B.). Dolphinholme House
farm is a very traditional dairy farm milking goats, while sheep graze the
permanent pastures. Other inhabitants of the farm include pigs, pony's,
hens, dogs, cats and rabbits with ducks leisurely cruising up and down the
river.
The Battle of Bosworth or
Bosworth Field was an important battle during the Wars of the Roses in 15th
century England. The armies of Richard III and Henry Tudor faced each other
on Ambion Hill. The battle that followed - Richard’s last stand in the Wars
of the Roses - gave England a new king and saw the end of the medieval
period. The Battle of Bosworth, fought on the 22nd August 1485, was one of
the best known and most influential of English battles. A rebel force
defeated a royal army more than twice its size leaving Richard III, the last
Plantagenet king, dead on the field and placing Henry VII on the throne as
the first of a new, Tudor dynasty.
Osbaston House farm is a
working dairy farm of about 250 acres. The fourth generation of Earp’s,
dating back to 1908, John, is today’s farmer. In 2002, the farm successfully
diversified to become one of a handful of specialist goat farmers in the UK,
milking approximately 1000 goats daily; early in the morning and
mid-afternoon. The farm also rears beef cattle, breeding sheep and has a
flock of free-range hens.
According to the Doomsday
Book, Earl Morcar, brother-in-law of King Harold, owned the land in
Bredestorp, an area famous for its well, which was said to possess special
healing properties. The area consequently became known as Helewell and the
name Bredestorp was dropped in later years in favour of the present
derivation of its name, Holywell.
Pettywood farm is a
family-owned working farm comprising 350 acres of woodland and 450 of

who love to take a walk with the farmers, Richard and Katy. At dawn and
dusk, wild deer can be seen grazing close by whilst families explore the 150
acres of surrounding woodland, listening to the owls as they drift off to
sleep and wake to the cuckoo, adding to the tranquil atmosphere on the farm.
