Hillamsland Manor
Hillamsland Farmhouse is a 17th Century, Grade II listed building with some mid C19 additions.
This house was once the home of Isaac Gulliver, the notorious smuggler.
From Wikipedia:
Isaac Gulliver (1745–1822) was an English smuggler based on the South Coast. Gulliver and his gang ran fifteen luggers to transport gin, silk, lace and tea from the Continent to Poole Bay.
He was known as "King of the Dorset Smugglers" and was also referred to as "the gentle smuggler who never killed a man".
His men, who whitened their hair and wore smock-frocks, were known as the "white-wigs".
