The Past & Present
Where Did It All Begin
In 1314 The Drummond Clan, loyal to Scotland and her kings fought off the invading English at the battle of Bannockburn. The ingenuity to strewn the grounds with calthrops (a four pointed spike) proved to be crippling to the horses of the English cavalry.
Some years later the Drummond Clan were rewarded for their services to Robert the Bruce and were allowed to include the calthrops in their coat of arms, which when completed required a motto and what better than "Gang Warily" (Go Carefully).
In 1772 members of the Drummond Clan moved to Hampshire and acquired large area's of land in Southampton. Part of this land was bought by a large petroleum company that resulted in the dividing of one of the Drummond farms. The divided land had to be given a new name and hence the area was called Gang Warily.
Man years later part of this land was sold to Fawley Parish Council and in 1986 Gang Warily Recreation and Community Centre was built and opened to the public.
