More about Lymington in the New Forest

The town has many shops, catering for tourists and sailing enthusiasts alike. There is a local market every Saturday, which takes place in the main High Street. The market is fairly typical for southern England, selling a selection of cheap general household items, craft items and a selection of food produce from the local area.

The earliest settlement in the Lymington area was at the Iron Age fort at Buckland known as Buckland Rings. The hill and ditches of this fort still remain.

Lymington itself began as an Anglo-Saxon village. The Anglo-Saxons, probably Jutes, arrived in what is now South West Hampshire in the 6th century. They founded a settlement called limen tun. The Saxon word tun means a farm or hamlet. Limen is believed to be a Celtic name meaning either elm river or possibly, marshy river.

The town is recorded in the Domesday book of 1086 as "Lentune". About 1200 the lord of the manor, William de Redvers gave the town its first charter and the right to hold a market.

From the middle ages to the nineteenth century Lymington was famous for making salt. This was done at the part of the town now known as The Salterns.

During the hundred years war (throughout the 14th and 15th centuries) the French attacked and burned Lymington twice. Once in 1338 and again in 1370. In 1346 Lymington was required to provide King Edward III with 9 ships and 159 men to fight the French. The French attacked and burned the town for the third time in 1545.

In the eighteenth and early nineteenth century Lymington possessed a military depot that included a number of foreign troops. At the time of the Napoleonic War the Kings German Legion was based here. As well as Germans and Dutch, there were French ?igr?, and French regiments were raised to take part in the ill fated Quiberon bay expedition (1795), from which few returned.

From the late seventeenth century it had a thriving shipbuilding industry. Much of the town centre is Victorian and Georgian, with narrow cobbled streets, giving an air of quaintness. The wealth of the town at the time is represented in its architecture.
