Wimbledon – 7 Quirky Facts
- Not Tennis
Originally Wimbledon Tennis club didn’t play tennis at all, in fact the club (Full name; Wimbledon Tennis & Croquet Club) was set up by six gentlemen due to the growing craze of croquet and was called the All England Croquet Club, founded in 1868. Tennis didn’t come along until 1877. - Berry Good
The annual grand slam tennis tournament is arguably the most-famous and most highly regarded event in world tennis. Each year the tournament serves up over 50,000 balls for players, while the fans get through 142,000 bowls of strawberries, 235,000 glasses of Pimms and 28,000 bottles of bubbly. - Great Shot!
Wimbledon was also home to a shooting competition which attracted competitors from around the globe. Held on Wimbledon Common, 2,500 marksmen would compete back in the 1860’s. Possibly the extra traffic of the tennis competition creates far less of a racket than the sound of 2,500 rifles! It even makes the Wombles records sound better! - Grudge Match
Henry VIII gave Wimbledon to his chief minister Henry Cromwell. After having Cromwell beheaded Henry took it back again. 109 years later Cromwell’s great, great grand-nephew, Oliver Cromwell, was to exact some family revenge when he was chiefly responsible for the beheading of King Charles I. - The Wombles
Among Wimbledon’s most famous residents, the Wombles (created by Elizabeth Beresford) achieved huge chart success. The music loving, furry eco warriors had 4 Top 10 hits, 11 songs in the Top 40 and spent a total of 73 in the charts. The man behind their chart success, Mike Batt also had hits with David Essex, Katie Melua, Caro Emerald and co-wrote the title track of Phantom of the Opera with Sir Andrew Lloyd-Webber. - Not The Wombles
Other famous folk to have lived in Wimbledon include; Davina McCall (TV presenter), Oliver Reed (actor), Boris Becker (tennis player), Martin Clunes, (actor), Fay Ripley (actor), Kate Humble (TV Presenter), Lord Horatio Nelson (naval hero) and Raymond Briggs (author, The Snowman). - Martian Invasion
In HG Wells War of the Worlds the 6th Marian craft lands in Wimbledon. Good job the tournament wasn’t on, otherwise they’d never have found a parking space!
