The mansion at Beveridge was designed by William Evans of Wimborne for Henry Brouncker in the late 18th century. Brouncker had acquired the property, comprising a farm on the site of an older mansion and several cottages, in 1788. Boveridge was inherited in 1825 by Henry Brouncker's nephew, Richard (1801-62), and subsequently passed to Richard's son, Henry Francis Brouncker (1841-95). In the 1890s the estate was sold to George Thursley and was later sold again to Charles Wilfred Gordon. In 1920, Charles Gordon and his wife, an enthusiastic amateur gardener, commissioned Thomas Mawson (1861-1933) to provide plans for new formal gardens around the House. Boveridge remained the property of the Gordon family until 1961 when it was purchased by Viscount Cranborne, owner of neighbouring Cranborne Manor. The House and grounds were let to a special needs school, and today remain in institutional use.
