Uggscombe gets a mention on the "Vision of Britain " website, which gives the parishes included:

Hi,

Found this on the Hawkchurch(1841 census) page of www.opcdorset.com :

The Parish of Hawkchurch is composed of two Tythings, vis.Wyldecourt & Phillyholme & the latter is in Dorchester -  Uggscombe Hundred.

Hi, I tried Googling Philliholme and it said that  Hawkchurch (containing Philliholme Manor)was transferred to Devon in 1896.

Many thanks to you both. Hawkchurch is a parish that I have never investigated as a source of family history, so here is something new to do.
I don't know where I got Vgg..... from. I had been wondering how it would be pronounced.
Best wishes, Toby.
