Beggars Bush: A Perambulation through the Disciplines of History, Geography, Archaeology, Literature, Philology, Natural History, Botany, Biography & Beggary

Bradford Abbas, Dorset Beggars Bush Lane 1838

Anon, A Gazetteer of Dorset Place-Names (Dorset Environmental Records Centre, 1998, p.14) gives Beggars Bush Lane at ST584141. It also has Beggars Bush Lane Quarry at ST584153. EPNS Dorset (vol.3, p.205) has the same name and a Beggars Bush field name.

There is no lane on the OS map which follows a obvious route between these reference points; the southern end is just south of the centre of the village and the northern end is south of the A30 leaving Yeovil at Babylon Hill/Tilly’s Hill.
