The history of Barton can be traced back some 35 million years, to a
period when crocodile type creatures roamed the area. This is
confirmed by evidence unearthed by the constant erosion of the
cliff face and analysed by geological scientists.
Barton (Barton fossils) has given its name to fossil bearing clay
and the fossils it contains, wherever they are found throughout the
world. This is dates back to the first authoritative book of
fossils, Fossilia Hantoniensia published in 1776 by Swedish
scientist Gustavus Brander which included work by D C Solander who
described the fossil molluscs. This book covers fossils found at
Barton and neighbouring Hordle.
Hunting, fishing and from time to time farming were the means of
livelihood of our Germanic ancestors. One of their leaders gave his
name to Beorma's Farm at Barton. Barton appears twice in the
?Doomsday {Domesday} Book as Bermintune and Burmintune and Barton
is derived from these old English names, therefore it is a unique
place name. There are many towns and villages in Britain called
partly or wholly Barton, but this means simply a farm linked to a
larger farm.
The area around Barton is remarkable in that evidence has been found
of every period of pre history, with solitary exception of the
Beaker Folk. Over 200 Stone Age axes have been found, plus a number
of Celtic coins from Gaul (50 B.C.)
As Bartons southern cliff edge was probably for thousands of years
part of the northern bank of the Solent River, early inhabitants
hunted and fished here.
Rodger de Montgomery, later Earl of Shrewsbury, a great friend of
William the Conqueror, (King William 1st of England} from his
boyhood days, held both Barton manors in1086.
By 1405 Winchester College owned much of the western areas of
Barton; so the college has some 25 documents in its collection
relating to Barton. In 1588 local men were ordered to keep watch for
the Spanish Armada of some 130 ships on its way to invade England,
as it rounded the Isle of Wight. On sighting the Armada they would
light beacons on the high ground. This would have signalled a call to
arms, taking men away from their families to go to sea to defend
their country. Others would have been among the men under Thomas
Coales sent to guard the south coast.
Barton on Sea and New Milton started to expand with the arrival of
the railway in 1847 and the opening of the Southampton-Dorchester
line. The nearest station was at Holmsley, which is some 10km from
Barton. |

The coast at Barton-on-Sea
is particularly well-known for its geological content, being home to
many fossils. The cliff tops are home to a scenic golf course. A
cliff-top path runs between Barton and the village of Milford on Sea.
From there, the Solent Way stretches all the way to Emsworth, on the
West Sussex border. It is also well known for the fact that it was the
first place in England to try out rock groynes. |
