The Friends of Upton Country Park are compiling written and audio records about the house and park and would like to hear from anyone with memories of previous occupants or staff or any of the tenants who occupied any of the other homes on the estate.
Knowledge is also being sought of a tunnel reputed to have run from the house to Hamworthy rectory. Anyone who can help can contact Viv Robertson on 01202 986579.
