Dawnay House - Puddletown
A view from the churchyard of what was the west wing of The Old Vicarage that was added to the older building in 1722. The older part (seen just behind the west wing) originally of circa 1600, was significantly altered probably in the C18 and early C19. The whole now forms two separate semi-detached properties, the west wing being Dawnay House, built for Dr. Henry Dawnay, who was vicar at Puddletown from 1722 to 1754. Grade II* Listed.
