Up until very recently, I did not know that the Earl of Shaftesbury was a real thing. An actual person and a title with a house that has a seat, no less.Â
That seat resides at a place called St Giles which is located at Wimborne, in East Dorset in good old England. St Giles has a good aspect and road frontage. It also boasts a garden of 5,500 acres.
