Built in the late 18th century, around 1790, as a coaching inn. The pub's location at a crossroads made it an ideal stopping point for travelers and traders moving between the nearby towns of Swanage, Corfe Castle, and Poole. The pub's name, "Square and Compass," is thought to refer to the building's square shape and its location at a compass point, where travelers would navigate their way through the countryside.

During c19th it became a central hub for the local community. The pub was also a popular stop for travelers, including sailors, traders, and laborers, who would come to rest and refuel.

In the early c20th, the Square and Compass Pub was closely tied to the local agricultural community. The pub's landlords would often provide accommodation and refreshments for farm workers, and the pub's stables would be used to house horses and other livestock. The pub's garden was also used to grow fruits and vegetables, which would be served in the pub.

In the 1980s, the Square and Compass Pub underwent significant renovations, including the installation of a new kitchen and the expansion of the beer garden. The pub's landlords continued to focus on serving high-quality food and drink, while also hosting a range of events and activities.

* In 1914, the Square and Compass Pub was used as a recruitment center for soldiers during World War I.
* In the 1920s, the pub's landlords hosted a series of boxing matches, which became popular events in the local community.
* In 1953, the pub was flooded during a severe storm, which caused significant damage to the building and its surroundings.
* In 2011, the Square and Compass Pub was featured on the BBC's "Countryfile" program, which highlighted the pub's unique history and its role in the local community.

**Preservation and Restoration**

In recent years, the Square and Compass Pub has undergone significant restoration work to preserve its historic character. The pub's landlords have worked closely with local preservation societies and architects to ensure that any changes to the building are sympathetic to its original design and layout.

We were fortunate enough to see the actual real face of the pub sign. He was just sat on a bench first thing in morning. I thought better of asking for a pic of him. but, he is real.
