Due to some uncertainty as to the ownership of the land, enquiries uncovered a letter from Bartlett and Sons Solicitors on 27.2.1962 which stated the following: –
Thomas King, deceased, re Bequest to Yetminster Parish Council (of) Field “Hamcrate, Yetminster” Hamcroft Field.
By his will the above named deceased bequeathed the above property to your Council in the following terms:
I hereby devise (free of all duties) to the Parish Council of Yetminster in the said county of Dorset my freehold close of land situated in the parish of Yetminster aforesaid called “Hamcrate” for the benefit of the inhabitants of the said Parish of Yetminster.
The title deeds to the land were passed to Messrs Ffookes and Grimley Solicitors of Sherborne on 20 June 1941. Since that time successive Parish Councils have enacted the stewardship of the site which has seen the addition of a children’s playground, scout hut, allotments, tennis court football pitch, croquet lawn and sport pavilion.
