The scruffy but attractive top-knot of pine trees was planted during World War One by the Colfox family, whose lands still include Colmer’s Hill. The hill’s original name, Sigismund’s Berg, gave its name to the village at its foot: Symondsbury. Sigismund was a Viking chieftan who landed with a raiding party near Bridport and, like many after him, was taken with the
little round hill. The present name is later, being that of Rev John Colmer, a landowner in Symondsbury and briefly its rector in the early 19th century.
