Hawridge history


Early settlement

Aucrug is Anglo Saxon in origin, and means ridge frequented by hawks. Mesolithic and neolithic tranchet axe-heads were found near Haddens Plantation and Heath End Farm. There is evidence of trading activity through finds of coins spanning from 4th Century to 1450.

English Civil War

Hawridge is said to have associations with the English Civil War during the 1640s. Parliamentary soldiers were billeted in the area at a time when skirmishes were occurring in and around Wendover and Chesham. Horseblock Lane, which crosses Hawridge Common, may have been where their horses were quartered.

Lords of the Manor

The manor of Hawridge is not mentioned in the Domesday Book. The first attributed with ownership of the lands was Robert D’Oyly, who died in 1091. Following a period of major land reassignment the manor appears to have been granted to Henry de Beaumont, 1st Earl of Warwick.
