5 Quickfire Fordingbridge Facts
- Take It To The Bridge!
Dating from 1252, much of the original Medieval bridge is still in use today, with just a few alterations and repairs over the centuries. The bridge made it possible to cross the water with heavy goods and brought trade, prosperity and even smugglers to the town. - New Smugglers’ Forest
Not far from the coast, the dense woodland of the New Forest made it the perfect place for smugglers to head inland to hide their booty or arrange meetings without being interrupted by meddling customs officers. Fordingbridge’s strong bridge (and toll-keepers happy to look the other way in exchange for a few coins) was a route often used by the smugglers and the town’s inns were kept well supplied. - Jack of Diamonds
According to local tales, the smuggler ‘Captain Diamond’ heroically fought customs men in the street of Fordingbridge. The tales are slightly romanticised as the real Jack Diamond was a member of the Hawkhurst Gang who tortured and killed a local man after he recognised Jack and reported the gang to the authorities. Previously regarded as folk heroes, this cold act turned people against the gang who they were soon rounded up and sentenced. - Young Turks
It might not be a name synonymous with football history (no FA Cups or Champions League trophies) but Fordingbridge Turks FC were formed in 1868 and helped establish football as they were one of the first to play what are now the modern rules of the game. - England’s Last Duel
Born and buried in Fordingbridge, James Seton was the last man to be killed in a duel in England. At a ball in Southsea Seton danced with Isabella Hawkey, the wife of Lieutenant Henry Hawkey of the Royal Marines. Suspecting an affair, Hawkey called Seton “a blaggard and a scoundrel”. The next day Seton challenged Hawkey to a duel. The men met, drew pistols and shot. Seton’s shot missed and Hawkey’s pistol misfired. According to custom both men could have walked away without losing face but Hawkey insisted they shoot again, Seton was shot and died from his wounds. He was buried at St Marys Church.
