  • History and Heritage
    People have lived in the area now called Bournemouth since at least the Late Upper Palaeolithic when there was a reindeer hunters’ camp at Hengistbury Head. By 1800, there were farms within the heathland at Stourfield and Littledown. Most people, however, lived in the hamlets along the Stour valley between Wick and Kinson. Apart from Kinson which was in Dorset, the area was mainly within the parishes of Holdenhurst and Christchurch. The Bourne stream gave local fishermen and smugglers a place to beach their boats and an easy route inland to Kinson and past Hurn. The 1802 Christchurch Inclosure Act allowed local landowners to buy large areas of the heathlands. Lewis Tregonwell leased land from Sir George Ivison Tapps in 1810 and built ABOVE his house (now the Royal Exeter Turbary Common – part of the original Hotel). By 1838, the marine village of heathland from which the local people Bourne opened its first hotel. In 1856, collected fuel, especially turves the Bournemouth Improvement Act allowed the town to start its separate existence. LEFT Extract from the 1805 Enclosure map showing the location of Tregonwell’s house and the Bourne stream HISTORY AND HERITAGE This Theme includes the following Sub-Themes. Historical setting The Christchurch Inclosure Act 1802 The Early Road Patterns The Marine Village Establishment as a town The Tithe Map It also includes as an Appendix the tithe apportionments for Holdenhurst, Kinson and the parts of Christchurch which much later became Bournemouth Historical setting The village of Holdenhurst has been described as the Mother of Bournemouth. Arguably the real mother of Bournemouth is the Bourne stream.

To help answer any questions you might have we hope that the following FAQ are helpful. The practice continues to offer normal care alongside the vaccination programme. As you may expect things are very busy at the moment. We are incredibly grateful for your patience with any delays you experience in us answering the phone or appointment availability. FAQ COVID 19 Vaccination Programme 1. When can I expect to be invited for my vaccine? The network is working through the patient cohorts defined by NHS England. We are currently inviting patient aged between 75-79 years of age. As soon as we have completed this age group and have confirmation of a new vaccine delivery we will move down to the next cohort.

  • Moordown Halifax Memorial
    MOORDOWN THE HAMLET ON THE HEATH An Early History BY BERNI HALLAM WITH JILL KING 1 EARLY MAPS SHOWING MOORDOWN Detail from Isaac Taylor's Hampshire map of 1759 showing the farm at Moredown ORDNANCE SURVEY MAP OF 1898 2 PREFACE In 2009, my curiosity was aroused by a notice on a lamppost in Malvern Road which listed a number of old Moordown Cottages considered by Bournemouth Council to be worth preserving. Having spent several sunny afternoons walking around Moordown surveying the properties on the list, I simply filed my findings away. However, after reading the bi-centennial publication "Bournemouth 1810- 2010", I resolved to start researching the history of Moordown, a much neglected area of study. I had hardly started when I was introduced to Jill King by Wendy Prendergast at a local planning meeting in October 2010. We quickly realised that we had a shared interest and became firm friends, spending hours on Jill's computer, downloading census returns etc, as well as undertaking field trips in our quest for information about Moordown. What follows is the result of our joint enterprise over a period of 18 months. Berni Hallam. March 2010. - -- ▪ --- I would just like to add that without that chance meeting with Berni Hallam in 2010, my early notes would probably still be gathering dust in my drawer, where they had lain since 2002. I have lived in Moordown for over 20 years and hold it in great affection. However, I do feel that it has been overshadowed by some of the neighbouring districts and deserves to be given its rightful place in Bournemouth's heritage.
