Fritham
Fritham is a small village in the New Forest
Hampshire, England. It lies in the north of the New Forest, near the
Wiltshire border.
The Ham class minesweeper HMS Fritham was named after the village.
Fritham is a strange place. It is surrounded on all
sides by open heath or ancient woodland, and yet when you are in the
village, you can only see green fields and cows. You could be almost
anywhere in southern England.
Approaching the village by road from the north, the first thing you
see is an extraordinary tower.
Fritham Tower
This does nothing to dispel the impression of a place that is
slightly eccentric.
Walking along one of the tracks that borders the village, you might
be aware of what it must have felt like to live in feudal times,
when the Forest was first created. When villages were small islands
of civilisation fenced in against the untamed wilderness, and people
rarely travelled from one village to another.
