Milton Abbas in Dorset

The estate was purchased by the Earl of Dorchester who built himself the present mansion house in 1771. It is built around a quadrangle which makes it perfect for its present use as a school. It has impressive grounds designed by Capability Brown. He disliked the noise and smell of the nearby town and with the high handedness, typical of many 18th century squires had it destroyed and replaced just over the hill and out of sight with what is today the village of Milton Abbas.
