Holmpton

Occupations included eight farmers, two wheelwrights, a blacksmith, two tailors, a milliner, a shoemaker, a shopkeeper, and the landlord of The Board public house.[4] Holmpton is mentioned in the Domesday Book as Homletone,[5] which is a mixture of Old Norse and Old English, holmr-tūn (island farmstead or village).[9] The village is home to RAF Holmpton, built originally as an early warning radar station, and now refurbished to act as museum and archive.With the ending of the Cold War this function ceased in 1991 and the site returned to training until the late 1990s when it was rebuilt to become the 1st experimental HQ of the new CCIS Electronic Warfare System.[11] On 14 January 1942 at 20.44, a Royal Air Force Avro Manchester bomber crashed on Mill Hill south of the village of Holmpton.The plane was delayed on take-off due to an unknown technical issue and eventually headed for the North Sea some time behind the rest of the squadron.
