Seen in Stewart's Garden Centre, Holt, nr. Wimborne. Down this lane to the garden centre. Oliver Cromwell is said to have passed this way with his army on their trek to do battle at Corfe Castle some little time ago! Gods Blessing Lane is said to be where his troops were blessed before the battle. Thanks for the info Keith.
