    Lytchett Minster Facts
    Did you know…

    1. First Movers
      Dating to around 8 – 5 BCE, Bulbury Hill Fort is the earliest indication of settlement. The earth and wood construction was built by Celtic tribes of the Bronze and Iron Age periods.
    2. Roaming Romans
      Two Roman roads crossed at Upton, it was fairly common for settlements to build up around crossroads and these routes would have made it a useful stopping point.
    3. Grey Wood Church
      The name ‘Lytchett Minster’ derives from old English, led meaning grey, and ced, woodland. ‘Minster’ comes from the Latin monasterium, a place of Christian worship, which indicates a sizeable church.
    4. St Peter’s Finger
      100m from the original church stands St Peter’s Finger Inn. The name is actually a poor translation and once again stems from Latin, Saint Peter ad Vincula, Saint Peter in chains.
    5. Pub Life
      The pub was the centre of village life. The local Lord sat in it to judge disputes, dispense law and collect taxes, which took place around June the 29th, the commemoration day of St Peter. As for the finger, it doesn’t even get a mention.
    6. Cow Dare You!
      The local manor house was used as a hospital in WWI and requisitioned in WWII as a base for US tank forces. The house and grounds were hit by a bombing raid, thankfully no humans were harmed but several cows made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.
    7. Lady Madeline
      Colourful lady of the manor Lady Madeline personally attended to wounded soldiers during the WWI. She also set up a café outside the gates, serving tea from the family silver. Another of her many ventures was making two films Voice Crying in the Wilderness (1958) and Messiah (1960) using villagers as the actors and a retired actor Gerald Rawlinson as the narrator.
    8. Viva la Lytchett!
      The original manor house, was named Sans Souci, meaning ‘without a care’. A tunnel ran from the house to the beach, which local legends claim was used by smugglers and aristocrats fleeing the guillotine during the French revolution. In 1957 the council and turned the house into a school.

    About

    Exploding cows, aristocratic movie producers, smuggler and saints’ fingers, this is no ordinary village. With a touch of “You don’t have to be mad to live here but it helps!”, Lytchett Minster is wonderfully unique, from the quirky but excellent craft centre to the societies and clubs.

    There’s also plenty of great scenery to enjoy and good access to larger centres like Poole and Bournemouth.

    Leisure

    There’s a gym, sports hall and outdoor football and tennis courts. Golfers can play a round at Bulbury Woods Golf Course. Upton recreation ground offers a larger outdoor space and there are two nature reserves within easy striking distance.

    For family days out Falmer Palmers Adventure Park will put big smiles on little faces. The Courtyard is a popular spot for enjoying a bite to eat or trying new crafts. There is also seemingly miles of countryside, plus the coast is just a short drive away.
