Surrounded by rolling meadows in the Bantam section of Litchfield, down Dudley Road, is the Charles Dudley House, which was built in 1815 and remained in the Dudley family until 1986. William Dudley of Guilford had acquired the land in 1733 and the house was built when his grandson, Charles A. Dudley (1812-1865), was 3 years old.
