    Briantspuddle & Affpuddle Facts – Did you know…

    1. All in the Name
      The village takes its name from Brian de Turberville, who was lord of the manor during the reign of Edward III. Prior to this Pidele was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086. It falls within the Piddle Valley Conservation Area and contains 35 listed buildings.
    2. Debenhams New Age Village
      Briantspuddle once consisted of 12 cottages until Ernest Debenham expanded the village. Ernest, grandson of the department store founder, wanted to create a self-sufficient agricultural utopia. His vision was that every house would have an inside toilet, electric lighting, at least a quarter of an acre of garden and a pig pen.
    3. Milking It
      The estate also had an experimental bacteriological laboratory where milk purity was analysed. Workers that produced the milk with the lowest bacterial count received a bonus, with a further bonus for other innovations that were healthier, making the entire estate stakeholders in their joint success.
    4. Flooding
      The area led the way in agricultural reform and experimentation as early as the 17th century when lord of the manor for both villages, Edward Lawrence, flooded fields in both villages to create water meadows. These were the first records of the practice being tried in Dorset.
    5. Completely Listed
      Bladen Valley, the cluster of homes on the outskirts of Briantspuddle, has been listed in its entirety. Unusually, the house numbers in the village were based on the order in which rent was collected, rather than the more traditional sequence of odd and even numbers.
    6. Tolpuddle Martyrs
      The Framptons of Moreton, were noted for their involvement with the Tolpuddle Martyrs, who formed a trade union to defend farmworkers rights and improve conditions. The group were eventually deported to Australia, leading to national protests and the eventual formation of modern trade unions.

    About

    Briantspuddle is technically just a hamlet, however it was still considered grand enough to become home to Weymouth’s old bridge, which was rebuilt over the River Piddle in 1928.

    Just a mile down the road, the village of Affpuddle is a little slice of rural English life and Affapidela even appeared in the Domesday Book in 1087. The two villages are very much together in spirit, sharing events like the annual open gardens through the year.

    Leisure

    Surrounded by stunning countryside, cyclists, riders, dog walkers and country explorers will find no shortage of new sites and paths to enjoy. Monkey World is a short drive away, while golfers can play a round at the Dorset Golf Country Club and Resort.

    Other local attractions include a tank museum and Farmer Palmers Amusement Park.
