In 1575 John Henning purchased the estate, Poxwell Manor, near Weymouth, Dorset.
He and his descendants lived at Poxwell Manor for almost 350 years.
Poxwell is a hamlet, was formerly in the possession of Cerne Abbey, straddling the A353 on two sharp bends approximately 6 miles East of Weymouth.
The Manor House, set back from the road and fronted by hedging, was the seat of the Henning family.
