Tiptoe is a small village in the New Forest National Park in Hampshire.[1] It lies mostly within the civil parish of Hordle[2] and partly within the civil parish of Sway.[3] It is {{convert|1 + 1/2|miles}} west of the village of Sway, and about {{convert|2|miles}} northeast of the town of New Milton.

The village

Tiptoe has just under 100 residents.[4] It has two churches, and a primary school with an associated pre-school.[4][5] The parish church is dedicated to Saint Andrew and is the daughter church of All Saints’ at Hordle.[6] The Tiptoe Stores and Post Office closed in 2008,[7] despite a campaign to save it.[8] Just outside the village lies the Plough Inn, the premises of which date from about 1630.[9]

History

The name of the village derives from a surname of French origin recorded in the 13th century as "Typetot".[10] A member of the "Tibetot" family is known to have held land in the Barton area in the early 14th century.[11]

The village achieved some notoriety in the 1880s when Mary Ann Girling and her religious sect of New Forest Shakers erected tents at a farm at Tiptoe in 1879, having been evicted from their previous residence at Forest Lodge at Hordle.[12] Girling believed that Second Coming of Christ would soon happen and that she would live forever. Girling died at the Tiptoe farm on 18 September 1886.[13]

A school was built at Tiptoe at the beginning of the 20th century as a replacement for an earlier school in nearby Wootton which burned down in 1914.[14]

St Andrew's Hall on Sway Road, Tiptoe, is a corrugated iron building dating from around 1870.[15] It was initially a chapel at Netley Hospital.[15] It was brought to Tiptoe as a chapel of ease for Hordle Parish Church and is now used as a hall.[15]
