Preston
Preston contains two Haven campsites, Seaview and Weymouth Bay. It is home to a 14th-century church, St Andrew's, which was built on the site of a much earlier Norman church. It has three public houses: The Bridge Inn (formerly called The Swan), The Spice Ship and The Springhead. On the coast is the beach resort of Bowleaze Cove.
Preston has a village hall, used for many local groups including the local pantomime group.[citation needed]
Notable peopleEdit
The Wesley family (the founders of Methodism) lived at Manor Cottage, which lies just south of The Spice Ship.[citation needed]
