Britain's What's On Event Guide
Lodge Park and Sherborne Archives
Heritage Open Day: England's only surviving 17th-century grandstand, with a restored 18th-century landscape by Charles Bridgeman in its grounds.
Hosting a talk from The Sherborne Village Archive with items from their collection on display. Lodge Park is situated in the Sherborne Estate and is England’s only surviving 17th-century deer course and grandstand. Sherborne was owned by the Dutton family from 1551. In the early 1630s, John 'Crump' Dutton, fuelled by his passion for deer coursing, gambling, banqueting and entertaining, built the grandstand of Lodge Park.
In 1726, renowned landscape designer Charles Bridgeman redesigned the parkland at Lodge Park. Although very little of his planting remains today, his designs are still largely intact.
