Adobe AcrobatDorset's Best Kept Secret
Beautifully situated in the heart of Dorchester, Kingston Maurward house and gardens contain some of the most stunning scenery in the south. With grounds bathed in history, the picturesque lake, broad sweeping lawns and formal gardens are really something to behold.
This 18th century Mansion House was built for George Pitt, a cousin of Prime Minister Pitt the younger. The Mansion features in Thomas Hardy's first published novel "Desperate Remedies" as "Knapwater House". Nearby lies Stinsford Parish Church, which had a strong association with the Hardy family.
With such striking features both inside and out the venue serves as a stunning setting for a wedding reception or full ceremony, housing suites such as The Old Library, an ideal location for a civil ceremony.
