  • 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.
