History

Origins and Pre-Coaching Era

The origins of Liphook are closely intertwined with the broader parish of Bramshott in eastern , where the area formed part of medieval manorial lands on the edge of the ancient of Woolmer. Although Liphook itself is not mentioned in the of 1086, the surrounding manors of Bramshott, Ludshott, and Chiltlee are recorded, reflecting a sparse rural dominated by agricultural and activities. Bramshott manor, held by Edward of Salisbury from the king, supported 13 households with 5 ploughlands, 2 acres of meadow, woodland capable of sustaining 4 swine, and 2 mills valued at 8s 2d annually. Chiltlee, a smaller holding under direct royal ownership, had 4 households, 2 ploughlands, and woodland for 30 swine, indicating an economy reliant on arable farming, pastoral grazing, and woodland resources for pig rearing and other forest products. Ludshott manor, under Hugh of Port, similarly featured 10 households, limited ploughlands, and extensive woodland for 50 swine, underscoring the region's focus on self-sufficient agrarian pursuits amid dense forest cover. Early settlement in the Liphook area remained limited and dispersed during the medieval period, with no major structures or urban development predating the 17th century. The population was small and tied to the feudal manorial system, where tenants worked commons and woodlands for subsistence farming, supplemented by minor ironworking in nearby sites like Waggoners Wells. Growth was constrained by poor road infrastructure, which isolated the area from wider trade networks and reinforced its role as a peripheral extension of Bramshott parish rather than an independent community. The first specific reference to Liphook appears in local records around 1364, evolving from earlier variants like "Lhupe" and marking the gradual emergence of a distinct hamlet within the Chiltlee manor bounds. By the late medieval period, the area supported a modest centered on common lands for and wood collection, with no of substantial buildings or population concentrations until transport improvements later spurred change. The name "Liphook," possibly deriving from elements suggesting a "leaping place" associated with enclosures or deer parks in the , reflects this rustic, woodland-oriented heritage.

Liphook's emergence as a coaching stop began in the late , owing to its strategic position along the Portsmouth Road, a vital route connecting to the naval port of . The village's location, facilitated by the relatively level of the surrounding Wealden , made it a convenient halting point for travelers navigating the often treacherous roads. By the 1660s, services had become established here, with wagons gradually giving way to faster stagecoaches that required regular changes of horses and provisions. Central to this development were the coaching inns, particularly the Royal Anchor, an early 18th-century establishment that served as a primary hub for rest and resupply. Originally a timber-framed building typical of roadside from the period, the inn catered to passengers, coachmen, and guards, offering ale, meals, and stabling for teams of . Other establishments, such as the Anchor Inn, complemented this role, fostering a local economy centered on and transport-related services. flourished in horses for coach relays, blacksmith repairs for carriages, and the brewing of ale to quench the thirst of weary travelers, drawing merchants and laborers to the area and stimulating ancillary commerce.

This , guarded against threats and operating at speeds up to 8 miles per hour, heightened the village's importance, as mail coaches carried not only correspondence but also passengers and valuables.

By the early , around 1830, Liphook had reached the peak of its coaching prominence, with a expanding from a modest handful of families in the mid-17th century to several hundred residents, supported by the steady flow of coaches—up to dozens daily on the busiest routes. The village's timbered buildings and clustered inns reflected this prosperity, embodying a transition from agrarian to dynamic roadside settlement.

This connection reduced journey times to to approximately 1.5 hours, facilitating easier access for residents and visitors alike.

The population of the encompassing Bramshott parish, centered on Liphook, rose from 1,367 in to 1,614 by 1891, reflecting incremental expansion driven by improved transport rather than explosive urbanization.
