You probably already know this David, but most of Coombe Keynes is owned by
the Lulworth Estates, so there would only have been a few cottages.
Village pub called Sailors Return. Good food! It is very small still
today, and people would have all worked on the land for the Weld Family.
Great Catholic Land Owners in these parts. They even have a castle!

Regards PAT - Wareham, Dorset. Wareham is about 6 miles from Lulworth.

> I would welcome any information relating to Coombe Keynes, just north of
Lulworth Cove, particularly mid-C19th and before. I have some ancestors
(RICKETTS, THOMPSON) who were born or lived there and would like to know
more about their way of life. It is now very much a holiday village, and
chocolate-box image but must once have seen a poorer agricultural way of
life. Any information would be much appreciated.
