Ringwood
Ringwood is a town in Hampshire, England, on the
River Avon, west of the New Forest and north of Bournemouth. The
town was traditionally an agricultural centre, but since the closure
of its cattle market in 1989, it has increasingly become a dormitory
town.
The BBC television comedy series "The Brittas Empire" was filmed at
Ringwood Recreation Centre.
Ringwood is the home of the Ringwood Brewery, which produces a
variety of cask ales.
After the Battle of Sedgemoor on July 6, 1685, James, Duke of
Monmouth was arrested near Horton (now named Monmouth Ash) and taken
to the now named Monmouth House in West Street (between the Market
Place and the Fish Inn). It was here where he wrote a letter to
James II begging remorse. It was not granted, and he was brought to
trial in the Tower of London by the infamous 'Hanging Judge
Jefferies.'
Also after the battle of Sedgemoor an elderly local lady, Alice
Lisle, gave refuge to two wanted men who were escaping the battle.
When her home?Moyles Court (now a private school)?was raided, the
men were found and Alice was arrested. She was sentenced to be
burned at the stake by the same Judge Jefferies; she received a late
reprieve, and the sentence was reduced to beheading. She is buried
at St Mary's Church, Ellingham, some two miles from her Moyles Court
home. Her tomb can be found to the right of the church entrance; it
is easily spotted as the lid has been left unfinished with rough
edges.
There is now a pub called the Alice Lisle near to Moyles court.
According to William Camden?s Britannia (1607) the name was
originally Regnewood. It was listed in the Domesday Book as Rincewed.
It meant 'the wood of the Regni'. The Regni were an ancient people
of Britain. (For the 1607 version in Latin and English, see Library
of Humanistic Texts. For Edmund Gibson's 1722 English translation,
see Archive CD Books , listed as "Camden's Britannia 1588"
