Weymouth is perhaps one of the few towns in the country where the wonderful council has decided to use one of the Tudor buildings dating back to about the 1600 as a public convenience! Well I suppose it does allow free admission to and time to contemplate! Finally below is a part of a picture of a map depicting the route from London to Weymouth in pictorial form.......

He was involved with the Weymouth Civic Society and bequeathed the house upon his death. A true gentleman who l admired. Ask about the secret Armada chest on your visit to the House and then visit one of the local hostilries for lunch.. The side of Weymouth where Trinity St is located is away from the hustle and bustle of the town centre but is well worth a visit finishing with a quiet stroll through...
