Lytchett Matravers.
The name comes from the Brittonic litchet meaning "grey wood" and the Norman surname "Maltravers".
The Maltravers family held the village for about 300 years, until the Black Death reduced the population in the second half of the 14th century.
The surviving villagers deserted the original village, sited around the church and manor house, and resettled further up the hill.
In 2005 the Lordship of Lytchett Matravers passed to Hon. Geoffrey Beck, being one of the few remaining descendants of the de Carterets of Arundel, and a direct descendant of Renaud de Courtenay, Baron Okehampton (c. 1125 – c. 1190).
