A suggestion: could you put a nice photo of the actual phonebox on the website somewhere (preferably the homepage)? It would make it more meaningful to first-time visitors, and would be good for other sites who want to link to yours”

I believe the Pydars are the same family as at Madresfield, who altered their name via fictive kin.rnI would love to know where at Kempley Reginald Pyndar (formerly of Breadsall, Derbyshire) lived. Can you help me please?”

John Jurica
Posted 2012-01-25 12:25:58“The Kempley Tardis is a commendable project that uses to good effect histories of Kempley and Dymock that were published in 2010 in volume XII of The Victoria History of the County of Gloucester (ISBN 978 1 90435 636 3). As far as I can see the Tardis website does not credit the author of those histories for his original research and thereby his contribution to the Tardis project.”

Posted 2011-11-03 17:39:41 at Malvern, Worcestershire“A fascinating project. Should be expanded to all parihes. Many years ago I did somethong similar on paper to show the development of our village by overlaying the 1840s Tithe MAp, The Inclosure map of the 1850s and the 6" to the mile OS maps. Intrigued how you got round the county archive copyright restrictions when showing maps online.”
