Talk:Hascombe

Untitled
I notice that the reference to Hascombe vinyard has been removed. I must admit I have never heard of the vinyard. Does it exist?

It certainly did exist in the mid-1980s, because I worked there as a student. It was then well established, and selling its wine fairly widely. However it may well be that it didn't survive. Jon C

Thanks, Jon. Do you recall the name of the place (the obvious choice of Hascombe Vinyard) brings up nothing useful on Google. Have asked my neighbour (a long-time resident) and she hasn't heard of the place. Chris

Well... I have done some research (I asked my Mum!) who tells me that it was indeed called Hascombe Vineyard, but that the receivers were called in, and it went bust - probably in the mid to late 80s. So it looks as if the vineyard is no more. It was located on the hillside to the south east of the village. Jon

Population
The infobox is showing the population in the 270s. The last census in 2001 gives the figure as 241. As this is verifiable and the 274 is a figure I can't find a ref for, will revert to the original for now 86.144.79.30 07:17, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
