A short history of Poole
Romans came ashore at Poole during the first century AD and occupied a settlement at Hamworthy that dated from the Iron Age. The name seems first to have described the harbour. Poole belonged to the manor of Canford and has no identifiable Domesday Book entry. The earliest written mention comes from 1196 and concerns St James's Chapel at "La Pole", which had recently been built. In 1248 Sir William Longspée sold the burgesses a charter that gave the town a mayor and a court. Henry VI made Poole a staple port in 1433 and Elizabeth I made it a county corporate in 1568. The town declared for Parliament in the Civil War. Newfoundland trade brought wealth in the 18th century and Georgian houses replaced many medieval buildings in the Old Town. Three of its 188 listed buildings are Grade I: Old Town House (Scaplens Court Museum), Sir Peter Thompson House and The Waterfront Museum.
