Dorchester Surveyors
Dorchester is the historic county town of Dorset. It has a thriving property market, with the Poundbury development continuing to expand in the west of the town. Wessex Surveyors’ range of surveys and valuations ensure that you get peace of mind when purchasing property in Dorchester.
There has been a town in Dorchester since AD43, when The Romans built ‘Durnovaria’ here. Later claims to fame include it being the setting for the trial of the Tolpuddle Martyrs, and the birthplace of the author Thomas Hardy. Much of Hardy’s work borrowed from his influences from Dorchester (Casterbridge in his novels) and the surrounding county of Dorset.
