Abbotts Ann Facts – Did you know…

How Old?
Very. The earliest artefact to be discovered in Abbotts Ann is a mammoth’s tooth. The animals last roamed Britain 14,000 years ago. Other amazing finds include a Roman villa near Dunkirk Lane, the floor is now on display at the British Museum.
Movers & Shakers
The first humans moved to the area around 50BCE, when the Antrebates (early Celts) set about clearing and cultivating the land.
Haven’t You Grown
The village was listed in the Domesday Book (1086) consisting of 14 villagers, 12 smallholders, 4 slaves and 3 mills, the annual value was just £14. By 1870 there were 140 houses and a population of 640.
Iron Man
In 1806 a young blacksmith Robert Tasker created the first iron plough. He set up the Waterloo Iron Works and soon his ploughs were in use across the country.
Schools Out
Such was Tasker’s success that in 1831 he built Abbotts Ann School, 39 years before schools were compulsory. Abbotts Ann School was one of the very first to take pupils from all denominations, ensuring regardless of faith or wealth, all children would get an education.
Best In Class
It was the school’s first master, the Reverend Samuel Best, that discovered the remains of the Roman villa in 1854. His name can still be seen in the church today.
Witch Pots
In 1977 a local family digging out the floor of their cottage found several ‘witch pots’ buried under the hearth. Witch pots were often filled with written curses, animal remains and urine, to stop witches coming down the chimney.
