Wareham
Wareham lies on the River Frome 10 miles west of Poole in Dorset. With a population of over 5000, Wareham has been a market town since Saxon times and is still encircled by ancient earthworks. A fire in the mid eighteenth century destroyed much of the town, which was largely rebuilt in Georgian times, although some of the older architecture remains.
