Welcome to
Brownsea Island: Stepping Through Time
About
Brownsea Island: Stepping Through Time is an MA Public History Project, produced by Eliza Bichard from Royal Holloway, University of London, completed in 2019.
​
Brownsea Island in Poole Harbour, Dorset, has a long and fascinating history spanning over 1000 years.
Unfortunately, little survives from the Island's past, as a result of eviction of residents, fire and war. To explore what remains, I have produced this website, alongside History Guides for all the family, to accompany a wander around the island.
The History Section of this site shows what is left from Brownsea's past without having to visit, and the History guides are designed to accompany a visit to the island.
The History Guides are now available to download from this website. During the summer of my Masters, I was on the Brownsea Island in the Visitors Centre between Saturday 3rd August and Sunday 18th August 2019, giving out the guides. While I am now unable to provide hard copies of the History Guides for people, please feel free to download them yourselves!
​
Please let me know what you think of both the website and the guides by filling in my Feedback Survey in the tab above. Enjoy!
