5 Quickfire Alton Facts
- Hoppy Beerday
The region’s warm climate and rich soil make it perfect for brewing hops. As a result, there’s a long tradition of breweries around Alton. In recent times there’s been trend for local beers and micro-breweries bringing back brewing. We’ll drink to that! - Battle of Alton
In 1643 royalist forces of cavalry and infantry were attacked by 5,000 parliamentarian troops during the English Civil War. The Earl of Crawford ran from the fight taking the cavalry with him leaving 700 infantrymen who were driven back to St Lawrence Church. Today you can still see the marks in the church left by musket balls as the soldiers put up a heroic defence in what was described as one of the “most savage encounters” of the war. - Jane Austen
Jane Austen lived and grew up in Chawton, 1 mile from Alton. She completed 5 of her novels here and there’s a heritage walk that takes in sites from her youth and ends at the Austen family home. - Sweet Fanny Adams
The terrible tale of 8-year old Fanny Adams begins in 1867 with her gruesome murder. Her body was dismembered and buried in a hop field by local solicitor’s cleck Frederick Baker. It became headline news, gripping the nation and in typical dark humoured fashion the Royal Navy took the name ‘Sweet Fanny Adams’ to refer to their new, hugely unpopular tinned meat rations. The tins often had little meat and so sweet FA came to mean ‘very little’. - Alton Hoard
In 1996 just days apart in two separate locations, two local metal detectorists unearthed, 256 Roman coins, a gold ring and bracelet on farmland just outside Alton. The finds that date back to between 50 BC to 50 AD were given a value of approximately £350,000. Kertching!
