Wareham

This beautiful riverside Saxon walled town was a favourite haunt of Lawrence and in the Anglebury House you can linger in the very seat where ‘Lawrence of Arabia spent many a pleasant hour drinking coffee’.

Wareham Town Museum in East Street contains a small Lawrence display.

In Wareham Library at the bottom of South Street you will find the T. E. Lawrence Society’s library. This is open to all, though it is necessary to make an appointment (Tel: 01929 556146).

The Saxon Church of St Martin contains the famous recumbent effigy of Lawrence by his friend Eric Kennington. The church is normally locked but the key can be obtained from A. F. Joy, the nearby gents’ outfitters in North Street.
