HISTORY

There is evidence of human activity as far back as the Bronze Age in Swanwick. It is believed that a ritual from the era involved digging shafts or wells to the underworld – one shaft contained organic residue which was believed to be flesh and blood.

Alfred the Great put a blockade in the city of Exeter in the autumn of 877 AD so he can capture the pagans who lived there. Some of the pagans fled by sea but they were pursued and their boars sunk after spending a month at sea.

Swanwick was listed as a hamlet within the parish of Titchfield by the Post Office Directory of 1855.

The area around Swanwick was known for its strawberry beds at the beginning of the 20th century.

The air traffic area control centre in the village started operations in 2002.
