Letter in the Wylye Valley Life magazine, Friday 8 February 1985:
The Editor, Wylye Valley Life.
Dear Sir,
In my native Lincolnshire, I knew a man who had been born in 1873. He remembered, when very young, conversing with an old man at Caistor in the north of the county. This old man could just remember his ancient grandfather, who could remember as a small boy watching King James the Second go hawking at Clixby, near Caistor, some 300 years ago. Readers would, I guess, be interested to hear of any local traditions of this kind in the Wylye Valley.
