  • 84. Ropley in the Age of Smuggling
    ROPLEY IN THE AGE OF SMUGGLING by Peter Hogarth. I suppose few people today can appreciate the vast scale of smuggling into Britain during the period from 1730 to 1830. From about 1700 Britain was waging war in some part of the world almost continuously. We fought France, Holland, Spain, and eventually the American Colonies, More revenue was required and more items were taxed. New commodities appeared as trade expanded in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries The proliferation of large estates increased the demand for luxuries such as silk, lace, spices, wine, spirits, fruit, perfumes, chocolate and sugar. By 1760 there were 800 items taxed at. import and a further 1300 were added in the next 50 years. The difficulty of levying productive taxes on income and wealth meant that import duties had to take a large part of the burden Apart from the public's strong demand for contraband other factors encouraged tax evasion. The Customs Service, was weak and under-staffed whilst; the second line or defence, the Revenue Service of Riding Officers and Dragoons, set up to seize smuggled goods once they had been landed clandestinely was far from efficient. Even when offenders were brought before the courts, local magistrates who themselves may have benefited from smuggling, were often lenient. During the eighteenth century smuggling craft grew larger up to maximum of 300 tons with 30 carriage guns and a crew of 100 men. Revenue cruisers grew in size but the Revenue always lagged behind the smuggler, perhaps because of a reluctance on the part of the Treasury to provide adequate funds.

The boundaries of this landscape type are defined by the extent of the virtually continuous drift deposit of clay with flints that caps the chalk. Integrated Key Characteristics: • Chalk overlain by shallow continuous clay capping resulting in poorer heavier soils. • Large tracts of elevated gently undulating countryside. • A predominantly pastoral farmland landscape with significant blocks of woodland. • Varying enclosure - open and exposed in higher plateau areas with occasional long views, with a more enclosed landscape in relation to woodland cover. • Survival of original pre 1800 woodland and presence of oak as a key species in hedgerows and woodland. • Varied field pattern including irregular blocks of fields are evidence of 15th –17th century enclosure and a more regular field system represents 18th and 19th century enclosure. • Limited settlement comprising dispersed farmsteads and occasional small nucleated villages/hamlets with church spires forming distinctive landscape features.
