The History of Sway
In Victorian times Captain Marryatt used the surrounding countryside as the
backdrop to his "Children of the New Forest", the somewhat eccentric
Judge Peterson built the 220 foot Sway tower as a celebration of concrete
and St. Luke's Church was established at the heart of what was then principally
a rural community.
The arrival of the railway in the late 1880s opened up new opportunities
and the following decades saw the village expand impressively. Today regular
train services link the village with Dorset and London and all points
North.
