There is a Woodland Farm about 5 miles in a straight line due south of the village of Swimbridge. An 1881 map has Woodland in the same area.

The address comes up on maps as Woodland Farm Chittlehampton which is the nearest village.  The 1941 Kelly's directory has Woodland listed under Swimbridge. 

Howver with any luck a local will confirm/deny my map recce!

It is with great difficulty I share with you that in the early hours of 07 August 2021, Maximilian passed away unexpectedly but peacefully.

With deep sadness,
