Hi June..............I was convinced that someone on the list would know some of the places you are interested in. But I'm really sorry that I don't. I have known some places that others on different lists were interested in. Regards from Margaret.

Hi June and Margaret.... I decided to look up Upton Grey it is situated south of Hook/A30 area down the A32 a few miles ...it looks like a very pretty village just from the two pictures I have seen Autumn colours and a frosty winter scene, the Gertrude Jekyll Garden at the Manor House is worth reading and viewing .. Enjoy ...seeing your love of gardening ... Marlene in Cold Oakville http://website.lineone.net/~uptongrey.garden/ a little more below but apart the Jekyll Garden on the above URL site there's not much more to read about it, it looks as though they are trying to get more up on some sites on Yahoo base didn't do the google.com Marlene Upton Grey otherwise: Huppeton, 1100-1135; Upton, 1202 refce: Coates 1989 UPTON GREY Old English/Middle English 'higher farm'. This name is a problem, for the whole of the eastern end of Bermondspit hundred is on a relatively level plateau varying between about 100 and 125 metres above sea level. If anything, the site of Upton Grey is fractionally lower than the surrounding area. It may be 'up' from the point of view of Hoddington manor in the same parish, but one has to go slightly down before one goes up! Perhaps we should take into account the mysterious phrase 'upicenes hlywan' in the bounds of the Hoddington charter of 1046, apparently referring to a barrow (Grundy 1927: 279), but I cannot make anything of it. (It is not by the river Itchen.) The manor was acquired by John de Grey in about 1260, the family name deriving from 'Graye' in Normandy. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I was convinced that someone on the list would know some of the places you are interested in.

Thanks Margaret and Marlene Have either of you travelled on the new Eurostar from London to Paris? I think that I might like to do this when I visit England. Let me know your thoughts. June P.S. It is a sunny, beautiful day here in Burnaby, British Columbia. ----- Original Message ----- From: Marlene Cox To: [email protected] ; [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, February 19, 2008 2:54 PM Subject: [TRIVVIES] UPTON GREY [was re:June - Burnaby - Relatives] Hi June and Margaret....

I haven't .... have thought about it BUT I'm sure Howie and Bron have done so, not sure about the other Trivvies. I'm hoping to be in England sometime in the Spring, it's going to be later than I intended, was going to be the beginning of April most probably in May now, due to my tests having to be cancelled till I'm properly well again, my heart specialist decided on that because of my wrist. Are you hoping to go over this year ??? Marlene `````````````````````` > Thanks Margaret and Marlene > Have either of you travelled on the new Eurostar > from London to Paris?
