Description
The Manor of Northam has a rich history dating back to the Norman invasion. Recorded in the Domesday Book, it was part of lands owned by a Saxon Lord named Bristric, providing early evidence of human presence in the area. Over time, the region has seen various transformations. Prehistoric settlements and Viking raids have left their mark, while Westward Ho!'s unique features, such as its drowned forest and ancient kitchen midden, offer glimpses into the past. The town's development as a late Victorian holiday resort, complete with a pier and grand hotels, is also well-documented. The surrounding parish, which encompasses approximately 2,700 acres of land, is included in this historical account.
