- The fascinating history of Dunshay Manor | The Landmark Trust


For most of the 20th century, Dunshay Manor, near Harman's Cross, was home to a remarkable artistic family: George and Hilda Spencer Watson, and their daughter, renowned sculptor Mary Spencer Watson, who bequeathed the house to building preservation charity, the Landmark Trust.
Newly restored and refurbished, this is a rare chance to see the house and find out more about the Spencer Watsons.
Corfe Castle appears across the fields and the Swanage Steam Railway passes close by.

Dunshay Manor.


Dunshay Manor, Worth Matravers, near Swanage, Dorset.
Dunshay Manor was bequeathed to the Landmark Trust by Mary Spencer Watson, a renowned mid-20th-century sculptor who had lived there since childhood.
This Grade II* manor house dates back to the late 16th century, was aggrandised in the 17th and given an Arts & Crafts refresh in the early 20th century.
