Enchanted Forest
Realm
No. 109
By Heidi Best
The New Forest in Hampshire, created in 1079 by William the Conqueror, was
the largest of the 80 royal hunting grounds established by the Norman kings.
William cared little for the hardship that his pursuit of pleasure brought to
the local people. Along with much of the ancient forest, 22 Saxon villages
that stood in the way were cleared. The blue-blooded hunter thought nothing
of denying access to the common folk who relied heavily on the land for
firewood and game.
Draconian forest laws and sickening punishments were introduced to protect
the creatures of the chase - these warrior kings were willing to go to great
lengths to safeguard their sport. Inadvertently disturbing the royal deer
could result in the transgressor being blinded, while killing a deer meant
the death penalty.
But it's an ill wind…Thanks to William's love of the chase his Nova Foresta,
today covering 145 square miles, remains one of the largest areas of open
land in the south of England. Ponies and cattle still have right of way as
they wander from one patch of grazing to the next, while deeper in the forest
wild deer browse beneath the canopies of mighty oak and beech. And although
the New Forest remains largely in the possession of the Crown, these days
everyone can enjoy its remarkable woodlands, pastures, heaths and bogs
without fear of being blinded - or worse - by the monarch's agents.
Although many Saxon villages were lost when it was created, the New Forest is
far from uninhabited. While the Forest itself is the main attraction, no
tour is complete without visiting some of the villages and towns within its
boundaries. When the medieval kings and queens, with courts in tow, visited
their hunting preserve, Lyndhurst took its place as the area's "capital."
The Queen's House next to the church, once a royal hunting lodge, is now home
to the Verderers Court, proof that although the Norman kings have long since
turned to dust, their actions still have an impact upon the lives of the
people who live within the Forest.
The ancient system set in place 900 years ago to protect the woodlands and
wild heaths is still at work today through the efforts of Verderers, Agisters
and commoners; literally the judges, police and land users of the Forest.
The Verderers Court is one of Britain's oldest judicial courts, set up to
administer the judicial system that protected the beasts of the New Forest
and ensured that hunting the deer and wild boar remained the privilege of the
king and his followers. Today the Verderers sit in public six times a year.
There about 300 commoners of the New Forest, each of whom owns or rents
property or land that affords them commoners' rights. The commoners were
forbidden by William the Conqueror to enclose land or graze most animals for
more than five months of the year. For pigs the grazing season in the open
forest was (and remains) only two months, but the famous ponies graze
throughout the year, roaming at will. To see them wandering the village
streets and pavements, holding up traffic, or dozing in shop doorways, is a
sure reminder of who has right of way.
The 5,000 ponies and cattle which roam "wild" are cared for by the Agisters,
a name unique to the New Forest. The Agisters' task is not easy: the
animals' right to roam clashes with the passage of 21st century traffic.
Another ancient role, that of Keeper, is also woven into the fabric of Forest
life. The 12 Keepers undertake conservation and recreational duties.
Lyndhurst's other attractions include its dominating St Michael and All
Angels Church, in whose graveyard lies Alice Liddell, the inspiration for
Lewis Carroll's Alice, of Wonderland fame. Nearby, on the Beaulieu Road, the
award-winning restaurant, Le Poussin, at Parkhill, offers elegant dining and
accommodation.
Beaulieu is Lord Montagu's patch of the country, though his family has had to
share it with the Rothschilds. In Montagu's corner, Beaulieu village is
famous for its motor museum, Palace House and abbey ruins. King John clearly
liked the place, because he named it Bellus Locus - "beautiful place" - in
1202. In the Rothschilds' corner are Exbury Gardens. Lionel de Rothschild
was the creator of these fabulous gardens, renowned for their spring displays
of rhododendrons, azaleas and camellias in the 1920s. Like all the best
gardens it is a visual treat in all seasons and was once described by a
visitor as "Heaven with the gates open." Lionel, born in 1882, was fortunate
to have the vast funds of the powerful banking family at his disposal,
describing himself as "a banker by hobby, a gardener by profession."
Perhaps the most evocative village of the New Forest is Buckler's Hard, south
of Exbury, created in the early 18th century by the 2nd Duke of Montagu. He
planned to build a free port, Montagu Town, on the banks of the Beaulieu
River for the import and export of sugar from the West Indies. The idea
failed but from the 1740s the site was used for the construction of over 50
wooden ships for the Royal Navy, using wood from the forest.
Ships built at Buckler's Hard include Agamemmon, Euryalus and Swiftsure, all
of which took part in the battle of Trafalgar in 1805. The 64-gun Agamammon
was said to be Lord Nelson's favourite. While he served as her captain
Nelson met Lady Hamilton in Naples and lost the sight of his right eye at
Calvi. In a later conflict, parts of the Mulberry Harbours were built in the
old oyster beds, though all this talk of war seems at odds with the charming
Georgian village. You can stay in Buckler's Hard at the Master Builders
House Hotel, and soak up the atmosphere that has led to it being used in many
period films and television dramas.
>From Buckler's Hard it is easy to explore the Forest's coastal border, en
route to the fishing port of Lymington, with its Georgian and Victorian
cottages and houses and cobbled streets. It is an ancient seaport, with a
history peppered with tales of smuggling. Its centuries-old Angle Hotel,
used over the ages by ship builders and sea dogs, claims to be haunted by
ghosts. One, a coachman, is often seen in the light of dawn, looking into
the yard from the kitchen window - a reminder of the Angel's fame as a
coaching inn.
Turning inland, back into the depths of the Forest, we pass through Sway and
the countryside used by the Victorian writer Captain Marryatt as the backdrop
to his 'Children of the New Forest.' We arrive in Brockenhurst, where ponies
drink from the watersplash in the main street before moving back to the heath
to graze.
"Brusher" Mills, the legendary New Forest snake catcher, was born in Emery
Down in 1840. He lived in a charcoal burner's cone-shaped hut near Sporelake
Lawn, slept on a bed of dry bracken and leaves, and is said to have caught
33,077 snakes in his lifetime. He believed that a cure for rheumatism was
embrocation made from the clarified dripping of a baked adder. Brusher's
memorial stone is at St Nicholas Church in Brockenhurst.
The villages of Burley, Ringwood and Fordingbridge, on the banks of the River
Avon, will take you almost full circle but you will miss much of the Forest's
beauty if you simply travel from village to village. As John Wise wrote in
1895 in 'The New Forest: Its History and Its Scenery:' "in its wild scenery
lies its greatest charm." But it is worth going into the villages as well,
perhaps to recharge with a cream tea.
Before you leave the enchanted Forest, visit the Rufus Stone, near Minstead.
It marks the spot where King William II, the unpopular third son of William
the Conqueror, was killed in 1100. It is hard to imagine the beleaguered New
Forest villagers being too upset at the king's demise.
