Focus On: When we live in a wonderful area like Dorset, we often take so much for granted. For instance here are some interesting facts and events about Wareham and Swanage.
Did you Know
Wareham is twinned with Conches-en-Ouche in Normandy, France and with Hemsbach in Germany.
Wareham
Since the 16th century Wareham has been a market town, and still holds a market on Thursdays and Saturdays. In 2005 Wareham was named as a Fairtrade Town. The Wareham Court Leet, one of the few remaining Court Leets in Britain, meets nightly during the last week in November.
Wareham & Swanage In the church of St Martin-on-the-Walls, there is a recumbent effigy of T. E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia) in Arab clothing, sculpted by Eric Kennington. Lawrence is buried at Moreton Churchyard where every year a quantity (decreases by one each year) of red roses are left. Near the town is Clouds Hill and Bovington army camp where Lawrence died after a motorbike accident. Wareham Town Museum, in East Street, has an interesting section on Lawrence and in 2006 produced an hour-long DVD entitled T. E. Lawrence — His Final Years in Dorset, including a reconstruction of the fatal accident.
Thomas Hardy in his novels based the town of “Anglebury” on Wareham. Dinah Craik used the town as one of the settings in her novel Agatha’s Husband (as “Kingcombe”). Anglebury House - a tea house/ restaurant still operating on the high street - was frequented by D H Lawrence. The seat where Lawrence regularly sat is marked by a plaque. Continued on Page 16

Focus On:
Wareham & Swanage
Heirlooms of Wareham
Swanage
The Jewellers and Silversmiths of South Street were established in 1986. They specialise in Antique Jewellery and Silver, but over recent years have expanded into new, quality jewellery and silverwares.
“This year came the Danish army into Exeter from Wareham; whilst the navy sailed west about, until they met with a great mist at sea, and there perished one hundred and twenty ships at Swanwich.”
Michael Young, one of the partners says “Over the years we have developed our range of stock, diversifying into modern, quality items, whilst still upholding our ethos of sourcing and specialising in quality, yet affordable jewellery and silver. Our discerning clients are often looking for gifts for a special occasion, such as engagement and wedding rings, Christening or Confirmation gifts as well as Birthday, Anniversary and Christmas presents.”
Continued from Page 14
Swanage is first mentioned in historical texts in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle of 877 AD. It is stated as being the scene of a great naval victory by King Alfred over the Danes:
A hundred Danish ships which had survived the battle were driven by a storm onto Peveril Point, a shallow rocky reef outcropping from the southern end of Swanage bay. A monument topped (historically incorrectly) by cannon balls was built in 1882 by John Mowlem to celebrate this event and is situated at the southern end of the seafront promenade.
Heirlooms also offer an extensive range of services including clock and watch repairs, jewellery and silver repairs, rethreading of pearls and a hand engraving service for family seals and crests. Mrs. Gabrielle Young, is the resident Registered Valuer, and she is available to undertake Insurance and Probate Valuation schedules.
Swanage is called Knollsea in Thomas Hardy’s novels. In The Hand of Ethelberta it is described as “…a seaside village lying snug within two headlands as between a finger and thumb”. In E.M. Forster’s Howards End, Margaret and Mr. Wilcox first kiss there at the end of an evening’s stroll, and the town is mentioned frequently throughout the book. “The Lady Margaret”, one of the linked short stories in Keith Roberts’, Pavane has Swanage as the place where Jesse Strange meets an old school friend and fails to establish a relationship with his childhood sweetheart Margaret.
