Nomansland
Nomansland is a village situated at the North of the
New Forest in Southern England. It is unique in that it can trace
the origin of its name to a specific date, October 23, 1802.
This
was the day on which an encroachment case was settled. A John Shregold had built a cottage which was deemed by the Crown to fall
in the area of the New Forest and not in the "Bishop of Winchester
land". The court found in favour of John Shergold and determined
that his cottage was not on Crown land. People in the Court deduced
that the land therefore sat neither in Crown land nor in the Bishops
land.
Claimants started to arrive that day, having walked, run or rode to
the land in question to claim land without penalty. The village
became known as Nomansland.
Today the village is a tranquil settlement with a combined village
green and cricket pitch, public house and a restaurant. A village
fete is held on the green each year, normally on August bank
holiday.
