Gillingham in Dorset has royal hunting grounds and a famous painter's eye in its past — not something every north Dorset town can claim.
A royal hunting lodge
King John built the moated hunting lodge known as King's Court at Gillingham and returned to it on several occasions. Henry III later extended it into a full palace, though it fell into disuse and was demolished soon after 1369.
Painted by Constable
The town's old bridge later caught the eye of John Constable, whose painting of it now hangs in the Tate Gallery.
