Please can anyone decipher place name
« on: Wednesday 20 September 17 10:57 BST (UK) »
David Cameron wrote his will in 1842 when he was Curator of Birmingham Botanical Garden at Edgebaston. By the time he died in 1848 and his will was proved he had moved somewhere else as mentioned in the attached snippet.
Can anyone read the place name please, I think it may be County of Worcester, it looks different from Warwick on the line above.
Berks / Oxon: Eltham, Annetts, Wiltshire (surname not county), Hawkins, Pembroke, Partridge
Dorset / Hants: Derham, Stride, Purkiss, Sibley
Yorkshire: Pottage, Carr, Blackburn, Depledge
Sussex: Goodyer, Christopher, Trevatt
Lanark: Scott (soldier went to Jersey CI)
Jersey: Fowler, Huelin, Scott

Thank you, I'd found a modern map. I think King's Hill is a house name rather than a road. Maybe he went to work there after resigning from the Botanical Gardens in 1847
