Village Documents
This page has documents relating to places
that the Holmes à Court family in England have had an
association with, namely Heytesbury and
Knook in Wiltshire,
and also the Isle of Wight.
I will continue to add to this page as I get the time. Note that
some of these
images are fairly large so might take some time to load on a slow
connection.
