Breamore House Visit

Join us for a visit to the beautiful gardens and house. Maybe the museum as well and good company for a meal in the cafe.

The history of Breamore dates back to 508 AD where an important battle was fought between the Briton King Natanleaga and the Anglo Saxon king Cerdic, who founded Wessex. The battle took place at Cerdeford, which today is called Charford and lies on the outskirts of Breamore village. The outcome of this battle may well have determined the boundary of the New Forest, this boundary is now also the border of Breamore Estate.

Prior to the Saxon occupiers, Brumore was home to Neolithic communities, which can be seen at Giants Grave. The Natural Heritage Long Barrow site is a Bronze age is a burial ground.

In 980 AD the Anglo Saxons build a church a couple of miles from Cerdeford battle ground in the village of Brumore which today is Breamore.

In 1580, William Dodington, Auditor to the Tower Mint, purchased the village and in 1583 completed the manor house which was erected next to the church. The village remained medieval until the great ‘Tudor Rebuild’ at the end of the 16th century.

Edward Hulse M.D. the Court Physician to William III in England purchased Breamore Estate off the Doddingtons in 1748. Where it still remains their family home over two and a half century’s later.
