Hordle is situated between the Solent coast
and the borders of the New Forest and, although the present
civil parish is somewhat smaller than the 3,854 acres it used
to contain, its north-south boundaries remain much as they
have always been.
History
The first mention of Hordle is in the Domesday Book (1086) and
its church is recorded in the cartulary of Christchurch Priory
early in the twelfth century. The soils of the parish are
based mainly on well drained gravels to the south and clayey
loams to the north: the character of the parish is
agricultural, although in times past a few salterns were
operated on the coast. The distribution of dwellings has
apparently always been of a scattered nature, grouping into
several hamlets such as Tiptoe to the north and Taddiford to
the south. There is some evidence that the main centre of
population moved northwards, away from the coast, in the
eighteenth century and, in order to meet this change, the
ancient parish church was demolished in 1830 and moved to
Downton Common, two miles to the north.
After about 1920 considerable infilling took place in the
parish and this accelerated in the 1950s and 60s leading to a
much increased population that largely seeks its livelihood in
the neighbouring towns of Lymington and New Milton. The parish
population in 1801 was 446 and by 1931 this had increased by a
thousand and it has gone on growing ever since.
There was no school in the parish until 1860 and there are no
endowed charities. Hordle today, despite considerable growth,
still manages to retain its rural character helped by the
green belts that separate it from the adjoining parishes.
The name Hordle is a short form of "Horde Hill" and refers to
the hill now known as "Golden Hill" which lies on the main
road from Hordle to Ashley. The name is thought to derive from
stories of pirate activity in the area and a cache of treasure
buried in the hill. |
