Talk:Bushy Park

Request
Badly needs updating and pictures, and deletion of the uncredited block of old text someone dropped in. I'll have a go at this in due course, but would be grateful for help. Any other Teddington/Hampton/elsewhere residents who would like to add stuff? Hampton Court Home Park needs work too. Mark Nesbitt 08:48, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Origin of the name?
I'm missing a clear statement about the origin of the name (just bushy as in bushes?) and its age -- it was apparently known as Bushy Park in Wolsey's time, but how long before then? Ijon (talk) 21:31, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Not long before, as no references, even in the surviving parchment deeds and returns of both Hampton and Teddington manors, feets of fine, Inqs. Post Mortem, other taxation/conveyance related documents of before then just as one would expect for what was no more than the fields and woods of a great, enviable manor at the time, of which there were many. See Victoria County History (collaborative, ongoing historian's project): Middlesex various volumes and pages.- Adam37 Talk  10:27, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

"The park's mildly acid grasslands are mostly just above the 25-foot contour"
First sentence in the second paragraph of the introduction. There is no indication of the meaning or significance of this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.221.91.66 (talk) 16:19, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
 * I assume it means 25 feet above sea level but I have deleted as its relevance is unclear. Dudley Miles (talk) 16:46, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Obviously it is relative great prominence (height) in maps. It meets (policies) both WP:V, no new research, and distills what the maps of the large site tell us, but will doubtless offend those who like more words when they are simply not needed; this is not a general pamphlet, but a well-categorised encyclopedia whereby the context is as clear as crystal.- Adam37 Talk  10:27, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
