Preston, Dorset
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Preston is a coastal village and suburb of Weymouth in south Dorset, England. It is approximately 3 kilometres (2 mi) north-east of Weymouth town centre and 2 kilometres (1 mi) west of the village of Osmington.
Preston contains two Haven campsites, Seaview and Weymouth Bay. It is home to a 14th century church, St Andrew's, which was built on the site of a much earlier Norman church. It has three public houses: The Bridge Inn (formerly called The Swan), The Spice Ship and The Springhead. On the coast is the beach resort of Bowleaze Cove.

The Wesley family (the founders of Methodism) lived at Manor Cottage, which lies just south of The Spice Ship.[citation needed]
