About Lytchett Matravers

Lytchett Matravers is a Dorset village situated by the gateway to the Purbeck hills and the Dorset heathland, overlooking Poole Harbour. It is almost six miles equidistant from Wareham, Wimborne and Poole.

The Celtic people gave the village its first name, Litchet meaning “the grey wood”. A Saxon settlement was here before William the Conqueror came; he awarded the land to one of his knights, Hugh Maltravers, and that family added their name to the Celtic Lytchett. In Norman times, the village clustered around its church and manor house in the valley, and is mentioned in the Domesday Book. The Maltravers family held Lytchett for over 300 years.

The ‘Homes for heroes’ campaign promised suitable living conditions to men returning from the First World War. Because of this, some new houses were built before 1939, and many of the old cottages were improved at that time. In 1901 there were 640 people living in Lytchett. Today, just over a century later, the population is nearly 4000 people.
