Lawrence Kellett's legacy

Dowlish Wake owes an enormous debt to a local man who donated the Playing Field to the village. The Lawrence Kellett Playing Field Trust and was established in 1973 when local resident Lawrence Kellett bought several parcels of land and put them together to create one large playing field which was landscaped to give large areas which were broadly level. The first pavilion was also erected.
