- Every day from spring to fall, a steady stream of fascinated sightseers files through a tiny cottage in rural Dorset close to Britain’s south coast, trying to catch a glimpse into the life of one of the most extraordinary - and famous - figures of the early twentieth century. 100 years after he first rented it in 1923, the home of T.E. Lawrence still attracts over 10,000 visitors a year. Tony Gill, Neill Child and Martin Gething, members of the team of staff and volunteers who welcome visitors to Clouds Hill, will discuss how Lawrence converted an abandoned and uncared-for cottage into his ‘earthly paradise.’

Thank you very much for sharing this!
Fascinating....thank you!
This was great, thank you all! 😊😊
Very interesting presentation, thank you
Spent a lot of my childhood in the area in a home back in the 1960,still got very found memories of it near the village of half puddle
Do you mean Affpuddle.
I wonder what water Lawrence used to clean his teeth with, if he did so and where were his Post box to receive Telegrams, letters etc?
Thank you though very interesting and i enjoy learning about all the things like his Photos, record collection, design of Clouds hill and his Swimming Pool across the road. I have passed that property in a car near the Junction, is any other 'Lawrence's' building work there remaining? 😊😊
Cork ?? Was that for acoustics ?? Fascinating....
Seven pillars of wisdom is THE BOOK.
These people are not experts.Lawrence said himself people will be picking my bones long after I'm gone.? Throw me a bone!
But Lawrence were able to say, he would want to know why and how they're picking his bones. Why not just give one example of where this doc. displeases you?
No Loo?? No kitchen ??
What about his missing time between 1904-1906? The army story sounds like b.s.
So was he killed by m-5 or was it just a accident? That's the real question.
My father knew of Lawrence when living at Clouds Hill. Dad was born in 1916 and joined the RTC (3 RTC) at Bovington as a boy soldier in 1932 to escape poverty. Sadly, due to my dad’s low birth and Ill education he couldn’t claim to know Lawrence.
No concern for wild birds at all! When a great tit disturbed him by tapping on the window while he was writing, he commented in a letter, that he wished someone would break its neck. In "Letters," i have the book. The little bird was probably hungry. not a nice man!!!
