Here she tells the tale of a legendary battle within our county boundaries - one of Douglas' favourites. Georgie, a Land Girl at the time, first met her husband, Douglas Northover, in a pub called The Dove where he was singing an Italian song with a Dorset accent! Along the way, Douglas took an interest in writing poetry and digging into local history. During his research he found an article entitled 'The Legend of Red Bottom', published in the Dorset Year Book in 1991, the year that Douglas died. Here, Georgie records the bloodthirsty Legend of Red Bottom. Help playing audio/video last updated: 05/03/2008 at 13:20 You are in: Dorset > History > Local History > The Legend of Red Bottom
