    • Occupation: 1765, Fovant Hut, Fovant, Wiltshire; Publican - kept the White Hart (Fovant Hut) on Salisbury Plain for 60 years

    Notes:

    1. In ' An Actual Survey of the Great Post Roads between London and Falmouth' , by Cary in 1784, Fovant Hut or The White Hart is shown. (White Hart, a name familiar all over England for inns, is possibly a scribe's error for 'White's Hut'. White was probably a former occupier of the Hut; for the hedge running south from the turnpike almost opposite the Hut is called 'White's Hedge'. It is the boundary between Fifield Bavant and Ebbesbourne Wake.)
    Fovant Hut did a brisk trade in the old days, and was the recognised meeting place where champions from rival villages engaged at fisticuffs. It was also to Fovant Hut that Parson Chaffin was wont to saunter, fiddle in hand. There he met other pretended fiddlers, whose object in coming there was not to scrape their instruments but to watch for deer which, pestered by flies, might stray from the woods of Cranborne Chase and seek sanctuary in the valley.

    Occupation:
    Fovant Hut has also been known as the White Hart Inn or the Hut on Salisbury Plain. It was one of a series of posting houses along the turnpike road, which ran along the ridge of the downs above the village. Although we do not know when the inn was established, the Salisbury and Winchester Journal referred to it as ‘new built’ in 1757. William Kennell, the first landlord, advertised that he had:

    ‘a stock of neat Wines, rich Cordials, and all sorts of Spirituous Liquors to be sold Wholesale and Retail.’

    According to the National Burial Index William Kennell was buried in Horningsham in Nov 1762 age not given (just 15 miles away from Fovant as the crow flies).
    We don't know who kept the Hut after his death until Richard & Elizabeth took it on in 1765.


    The inn did a thriving trade until 1787 when the Lower Road (now the A30) was turnpiked. It is not known when the inn ceased to trade, but it has long since been a private house.

    In 1785 Parliament sent it's surveyors to establish the Enclosure details. The first meeting took place at Fovant Hut on 19th Sept 1785.

    Source Notes

    Richard Mills' will is recorded in The Clay Papers 'Some Notes on the History of Fovant' amassed by the late Doctor Richard Clay. In 1967 he used some of this material to produce a small booklet that gave a short history of the village, but in general the papers remained just a collection of loose pieces of paper.
    Although the original papers are held by Mr Robert Snow, Doctor Clay's grandson, copies of the documents were deposited with Salisbury Museum. Over the years interested parties made further copies, until there were several such 'collections'. In 2002, Mike Harden of Fovant History Interest Group collated, edited and indexed these different versions and had, what might be called, the definitive version of Doctor Clay's original papers bound into a single volume. Copies of this volume are now held in museums, libraries and record offices in Salisbury, Devizes and Trowbridge.
