Home - Local Guardians - Jurassic Coast

My name is Fran Chetwode and I have been Local Guardian with White House Guardianships since 2011. I am married and have 2 children, Freddie and Bea, who go to a local school nearby. We are an active family, Jim is into cycling and triathlons, Freddie is into swimming, football and hockey and Bea loves ballet. I spend time keeping fit, running, cycling and yoga.

We love cooking and socialising and have many friends in the area with similar aged children. As well as being a guardian I do interior design and upholstery and my home is very important to me. We love travelling when we can and go to France for most holidays.
We love to walk in the beautiful Dorset countryside, we have a guinea pig and chickens where we get our free range eggs!

About the Area

We live in Blandford Forum in Dorset, a beautiful part of England where I have lived for over 10 years after living in London for 10 years.

Blandford is a Market town in North Dorset sited by the River Stour and 15 miles from Poole, a beautiful natural harbour and shopping centre. Bournemouth is nearby with it beautiful golden sandy beaches.

Blandford is renowned for its Georgian architecture, military base is located on the hills two miles from the town.

Dorset is in easy reach of Bath, Bournemouth, Southampton and Bristol and a great place to come and study in the UK.

Blandford is twinned with Preetz in Germany.
