    Alton Facts – Did you know…

    1. Alton Hoard
      In 1996, just four days apart at two separate sites, two local metal detectorists found 256 Roman coins, a gold ring and bracelet on farmland just outside Alton. Dating back to between 50 BCE – 50 CE, the coins were valued at around £350,000. Kerching!
    2. Saxon Warrior
      A 7th century cemetery has also been discovered including the grave of a Saxon warrior with an ornate belt buckle. The buckle along with other finds, can be viewed at nearby Curtis Museum.
    3. Battle of Alton I
      In the 10th century the Anglo-Saxons fought the Vikings at the first Battle of Alton in which 81 men of Wessex were killed by the victorious Vikings.
    4. Jane Austen
      The writer grew up in nearby Chawton, 1 mile from Alton, where she wrote 5 of her novels. There is a free Jane Austen heritage walk for fans of her work.
    5. Battle of Alton II
      In 1643, during the Civil War, royalist forces were attacked by 5,000 parliamentarian troops. The Earl of Crawford fled, taking his cavalry with him leaving 700 infantrymen to face the music. Driven back to St Lawrence Church, most were killed and the rest taken prisoner. Marks left by musket balls can still be seen on the church door.
    6. Hop Hop Hooray
      The region’s warm climate and good soil offer the perfect conditions for brewing hops. This leads to brewing beer and a long, rich tradition of local breweries. There are a number of micro-breweries and craft beers to sample. Cheers!
    7. Sweet Fanny Adams
      The colourful phrase stems from the sad tale of 8-year-old local girl Fanny Adams. In 1867 her body was found cut into pieces and scattered in a field by local man Frederick Baker. The grisly crime made national headlines and in typical dark humour, the Royal Navy were soon referring to their new tinned meat rations as ‘Sweet Fanny Adams’, as the very few meat pieces were tough and tasteless.
