Wilfrid Weld

Wilfrid Joseph Weld was a British landowner. He was a member of the Weld family of Lulworth Castle, a direct descendant of Sir Humphrey Weld and son of Col. Sir Joseph William Weld and Elizabeth, née Bellord. Like his father before him, Weld served in 1996 as High [Sheriff of Dorset].
He is credited with the restoration of the fire gutted Listed monument in Dorset and turning the family heirloom dating from 1641, into a popular visitor attraction. Under his stewardship, Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door, on his estate and part of the Jurassic Coast, were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. He was a supporter of many local charities and sporting associations.
