HISTORY

On the 24th of April 1812 the founder of Bournemouth, Captain Lewis Tregonwell, took up residence in his newly built mansion. Hepurchased the land from Sir George Ivison Tapps Lord of the Manor of Christchurch for £179 & 11 shillings. It was the "rst house in Bournederived from a geographical reference to the li#le Bourne (burna) stream which was later to give Bournemouth its name.

In the early days friends were invited to visit to relax and use the beaches. !is heralded the very beginnings of the great British seaside holiday.

When the Marchioness of Exeter became the "rst tenant, the mansion house was renamed Exeter House and the road Exeter Road to commemorate her visit.

!e house was purchased by Henry Newlyn in 1876 who extendedthe mansion and it became known as Newlyns Family Hotel. A$ernumerous visits by the Royal Family it acquired its present title !e Royal Exeter Hotel.

Our bar and restaurant’s name is in recognition of the massive historical impact this building has had on the town over the past two centuries.

!e Management would like to thank all of its loyal customers and sta% who have helped make 1812 such a success seeing us winners andrunners up for numerous awards, one of which rating us in the top four in the country. We always try to increase our standards and are open to any comments on how we can make improvements whether it is with drink, food or service all suggestions are welcome.
