Edmondsham
Edmondsham is a village in Dorset, England. It is 2 miles (3 km) north west of Verwood and 10 miles (16 km) north of Bournemouth, near the source of a small stream which flows into the River Crane, Dorset; both are Sites of Special Scientific Interest. In the 2001 census it had a population of 200.
A rare shiny-leafed form of wych elm similar to 'Nitida' was found in the village in the early 20th century, a leaf specimen prepared for the Kew Herbarium by Augustin Ley in 1910.
Edmondsham House
Edmondsham House was built in 1589 by builders William Arnold and family, and in 1905 was described by Sir Frederick Treves as "grey with age" and hence "like a mist in the wood". The house and gardens are open to the public.
