    Dorchester Facts – Did you know…

    1. Judge Dread
      In 1685 Dorchester was visited by ‘Hanging Judge Jefferys’ who once sentenced 74 men to death in a single session.
    2. Thomas Hardy
      The town’s most famous son is novelist Thomas Hardy who’s works include Far From the Madding Crowd, Jude the Obscure and Tess of the D’Urbervilles.
    3. Greenbury
      The nearby experimental town of Poundbury was built on land owned by the then Prince Charles. A vision of greener living, the layout is designed to encourage walking and cycling while housing, planting and emissions are all in keeping with the town’s eco-credentials.
    4. Durnovaria
      Dorchester was once inhabited by the Romans who named it Durnovaria and built homes, shops, a library and what was once the country’s largest amphitheatre.
    5. It’s Old!
      Yes, even older than that tin of soup you once found at the back of the cupboard. As well as it’s Roman heritage, the area once had an iron age hill fort (Maiden Castle) and a henge, Maumbury Rings.
    6. Tolpuddle Martyrs
      Dorchester Crown Court was the setting for the trial of the Tolpuddle Martyrs, six local men who fought oppression from employers and are credited with paving the way for the trade union movement.
    7. Museum-Itis
      Dorchester definitely has a case of museum-itis which is great for history buffs. Within the town and local area you’ll find the Mummies Museum, Dinosaur Museum, Keep Military Museum, Terracotta Warriors Museum, Dorset County Museum and even a Teddy Bear Museum.

    About

    The county town of Dorset has a rich and rounded history, from its famous authors and sporting sons (Martin Chivers and Harry Redknapp both played for Dorchester FC), the Roman ruins and iron age hill forts, through to its brewing pedigree, there is so much to fall in love with. And you can do it for longer, life-expectancy in Dorset is two years greater than the national average.

    Leisure

    Once you’ve finished with your Dorchester removals it’s time to enjoy the local comforts such as eating, drinking and shopping and the town is good for all three. There’s a good selection of cafes, bars and restaurants, but this isn’t a party town, you’re unlikely to see large crowds dancing in the street, what you will find are welcoming venues, great food and drink and a friendly town proud of its heritage.

    Along with a fantastic selection of independent shops and traders, there are two weekly markets with local producers and food artisans bringing their wares to a hungry public.
