    Cranborne Facts – Did you know…

    1. The Chase
      Cranborne Chase was once the Royal Forest of Cranborne. Royal hunting grounds for every monarch from King John to King James I, that stretched over 100 square miles and home to wild boar, deer and even bears. Today the it is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Site of Special Scientific Interest.
    2. Lodger
      Henry VIII liked the area so much he built a hunting lodge in the village. It eventually became Cranborne Estate, which still exists to this day.
    3. Cranborne Smugglers
      Cranborne was a major smuggling route thanks to good roads and endless miles of forest to hide in. On the 19th of March 1779, the handful of local customs officers fought a gang of ’50 smugglers’. After reinforcements arrived the gang were apprehended and their booty confiscated.
    4. Nothing To See Here!
      Captain Lewis D G Tregonwell was a leader of the Dorset Yeomanry whose job was to prevent smuggling. Behind a high garden hedge, his large house contained a trap door leading to a cellar… Surely the man regarded as ‘The Founder of Bournemouth’, wasn’t also a smuggler, hiding a double life behind his badge of office and shrubbery? Well, yes he was.
    5. Den of Immorality!
      By 1791 the Chase had become “a den of vice and immorality” rife with “deer stealers, bred to it by their parents” and a “harbour for smugglers”. But it wasn’t until 1829 that Parliament stepped in and cleaned up the area, including Cranborne village and smuggling gradually died out.
    6. Chaseborough
      The village appeared in Thomas Hardy’s Tess of the D’Urbervilles as ‘Chaseborough’ and was captured by the poet Robert Brookes;
      In Cranborne town two inns there are,
      And one the Fleur-de-Lys is hight,
      And one, the inn Victoria,
      Where, for it was alone in sight,
      We turned in tired and tearful plight
      Seeking for warmth, and company,
      And food, and beds so soft and white-
      These things are at the Fleur-de-Lys.
