Lytchett Matravers, The Chequers Inn
In High Street; apparently one of the oldest buildings in the village, though few old features remain. Internally, L-shaped bar, with drinking and eating areas on three sides. Cask ales on offer at my visit: Ringwood Best, Wychwood Hobgoblin, St. Austell Tribute. For an old view, see http://www.opcdorset.org/LytchettMatraversFiles/LytchettPhotosOld.htm For some customer comments, see http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/36/36903/Chequers_Inn/Poole

Weather vane, Lytchett Matravers
The word 'vane' comes from the Anglo-Saxon word 'fane', meaning 'flag'. Originally, fabric pennants would show archers the direction of the wind. Later, the cloth flags were replaced by metal ones, decorated with the nobleman's coat of arms. It was understood that shifts in the wind often indicated changes in the weather. Cardinal points were not added until several centuries later. Weather vanes have always been more than just a wind direction device. Created by skilled craftsman, there is true artistic expression in the varied designs. Initially wood vanes were carved by carpenters or furniture makers, and iron, copper and tin ones were forged by the local blacksmith or tinsmith. In the 19th century weather vanes started to be mass-produced from moulds.

Street scene, Lytchett Matravers
Lychett is a very busy village and it was surprising how many horses and ponies are being ridden along the streets in all directions.

Lytchett Matravers: the Chequers under refurbishment
The Chequers Inn is currently closed for a makeover. Fittingly for a pub of that name, there are some large chess pieces in the skip on the left.

Street scene, Lytchett Matravers
The horse was remarkably good considering the amount of traffic and others things that were going on in streets. There is also a Dorset County Council finger post to the left of the image.
