PHASE III –
MEDIEVAL VILLAGE AND ST. ANDREW’S CHURCH MOVED

TO  
LULWORTH PARK  1.25 miles east.
LULWORTH PARK becomes seat of East Lulworth hunting lodge becomes the  SECOND LULWORTH CASTLE.

1630  Theophilus Howard 2nd Duke of Suffolk  held the estate from his father Thomas Howard.
             D-WLC/M/71 Thomas’ main focus was on his seat at Audley End. He spent little time at Lulworth.

 1636  ST. ANDREW’S CHURCH ON THE MANOR OF LULWORTH ST. ANDREW IS 
              RELOCATED 
to Lulworth Park c. 1630. The Newburgh’s Castle is demolished possibly as a source for
               hunting lodge 
and new village. Some ruins remained on the early site.  John Sparrow sketched the                         ruins when he was commissioned to map the Weld Estate in 1771.

               St. Andrew Church was rebuilt at Lulworth Park near the hunting lodge, circa 1630-40.  A new village
               was built south of the church. The Newburgh memorials, detailed by Leland were removed when the
               castle was torn down.  Church memorials were detailed in 1603 during a ‘visitation.’  Documents  in
               British Library.
          
1640  Theophilus Howard deceased – his son sells the estate to the Welds in 1641.
              There are two indentures for Lulworth, one for the Welds and another for other prospective buyers.
              D-WLC/M/74  D-WLC/M/75 
1641   The Weld family of London purchased the Lulworth tract. Initially, they lived in the Howard’s
              Bindon House which was burned during the English Civil War.

1641   THE ENGLISH CIVIL WAR RAGES
  to
1651
   Damage was done to the hunting lodge.
              After the war the Welds concentrated on making the lodge their residence when the old
              Howard residence at Wool was burned during the war.
                  
1687   Court Book D-WLC/M/98 including East Lulworth and West Lulworth, Burton etc.
              Court books exist for 1706-1713,  1748-65
1721    Rental of Lulworth East and West. D-WLC/M/91 
1741    Rental of E. Lulworth D-WLC/M/92 by Thomas Keate by 1773 E. Lulworth isn’t included in rentals
               which probably means that E. Lulworth boundaries no longer included the old manor.
1753    Draught of St. Andrews Farm  D-WLC/P/15  North side of Bindon Hill - shows enclosures
1771     Sparrow contracted to draw maps of the Weld Estate
1786   The Welds built a Roman Catholic Chapel on the grounds and began removal of St. Andrew 
               church. Corner stone for the chapel installed. Inventories of "the Church Plate" and "Table Plate", and
               vestments, altar furniture etc. lent by Mr. Weld to the Chapel of BLANDFORD, undated.  It would seem
               these were from St. Andrew.
1787   The Welds were admonished by the Bishop of Bristol for tearing down St. Andrew Church, and they  ere
              ordered by the bishop to rebuild it.  They sought approval and received permission to remove the
              chancel and 
aisles. (D 28 19/2/20 Chippenham)
1788   The Bishop demanded it be rebuilt. Permission was granted with a “return” signed by several church     
              wardens and rectors. (D 28 19/2/20 Chippenham)  The villagers were unsatisfied and complained to
              Rev. Henry Hall.
1790   The Welds began moving the village off the estate to the current location.  The villagers were offered
               the custody of their church, as long as they removed it at their expense.  They declined.
               Right of way through the estate to the church was maintained.
1791    Henry Hall Rector at Child Okeford formed a commission to investigate the condition of St.                                       Andrew.       
1846   The rebuild of 1788 was later judged by Sir Stephen Glynn to be of very mean condition.
1865    Another renovation took place to bring it into to the condition now observed. John Hicks was the                            architect. He was assisted by Thomas Hardy, who remained committed to preserving the ancient 
                tower.


NOTE:  Archaeological studies have confirmed that Lulworth Park had no medieval inhabitants.
                Habitation occurred after the seat of Lulworth was moved from the manor of Lulworth
                St. Andrew in the 17th century. The early village was later removed from Lulworth Park to make
                way for gardens on the estate.  The modern village of East Lulworth is mostly 18th century.

1897  Thomas Hardy wrote to the SPAB to make recommendations for preservation of the tower.
              Renovation
 was completed before 1904.
