Frenchs Farm, Wimborne St Giles
The farmhouse was built in the late 18th century and I suspect that some of the farm buildings are of the same date. There is an Ordnance Survey bench mark on the angle of the wall nearest the drainpipe.

Old apple tree, Frenchs Farm
The old apple tree has a number of clumps of mistletoe growing on it. The mistletoe, which provides an excuse for stealing a kiss at Christmas, is said to have earned its status for some unfortunate misdemeanour as a result of which the Old Gods condemned it to look on for evermore while pretty girls were kissed! In some rural areas of England it is still said that if a girl is not kissed under the mistletoe before her marriage she will be barren all her days. A more likely explanation lies in the fact that the plant was held to be sacred by the Druids, who called it the 'Golden Bough' and featured it in their religious worship. The tree is also said to be a 'thunder plant' and can protect a house from storms, and when chopped up and boiled is an antidote for poisons.
