Hanworth history
During Edward the Confessor’s time Hanworth was a sparsely populated manor and parish held by Ulf, a “huscarl” of the King. The majority of huscarls in the kingdom were killed at Hastings in 1066. William the Conqueror granted Hanworth to Robert under Roger de Montgomery, the Earl of Arundel and Shrewsbury. After his death, his second son held the land until his death in the Mowbray conspiracy of 1098, after which it passed to his eldest son, Robert de Bellesme, who rebelled against the Crown in 1102.
Manors
The Ambassador to Charles I, negotiating the secret treaty of 1631 with Spain, was raised to the peerage as Baron Cottington of Hanworth. As the Civil War drew near he declared himself an active Royalist. After hostilities had broken out he joined the king at Oxford and spent the remainder of his life abroad.
Churches
There has been a church on the site, in Castle Way, since at least the fourteenth century. The first known rector was Adam de Brome, founder of Oriel College, Oxford, in 1309. In 1935, Hanworth had a jam factory belonging to Whiteley’s, it was decided that a chapel of ease should be set up. It was founded by Bertram Pollock, Bishop of Norwich, and the Rector of Saint George’s. After the Second World War, in 1947, a Nissen hut should be used to house the chapel.
Hanworth Aerodrome
Hanworth Aerodrome was a grass airfield, operational from 1917 to 1919 and 1929–1947. It was best known as a centre for private flying, society events, aircraft manufactured by General Aircraft Limited. Amelia Earhart flew to Hanworth after landing in Ireland at the end of her 1932 crossing of the Atlantic.
1970s
The construction of an elevated M3 feeder road (now part of the A316) cut Hanworth in two. The library was relocated to Mount Corner, so-named for being opposite the Hanworth Park House icehouse mound. Forge Lane Infants and Junior School was built on the south side of the new road, and the war memorial was relocated.
