Excerpt from Proceedings of the Dorset Natural History and Antiquarian Field Club, 1914, Vol. 35 Wimborne railway station was the meeting place of about 120 members and their guests. Among those who attended on this occasion were the President, the Hon. Secretary, the Hon. Treasurer, and the Archdeacon of Dorset. Those of the members who had arrived by earlier trains occupied the interval by making a brief visit to the Minster Church, under the guidance of Canon fletcher. The party then began the programme by driving to the paper mills at Witchampton, where they were received by the owner, Mr. William burt, who conducted them through the manufactory and explained in detail the various processes. Paper making had been carried on continuously in this country parish for about 150 years by seven or eight generations of Mr. Burt's forefathers, and the industry was therefore entitled to rank as one of the oldest in Dorset. It was mentioned that the chief products of the mills were cartridge paper for sporting ammunition and brown packing paper. After the machinery and appliances had been inspected, the president expressed the thanks of the Club to Mr. Burt and his family for their kindness.
