Lawrence of Dorset: From Arabia to Clouds Hill

T. E. Lawrence rented this tiny isolated brick and tile cottage from 1923 until he finally purchased it in 1929. The austere rooms are much as he left them and reflect his complex personality and close links with the Middle East. An exhibition details Lawrence's extraordinary life.
