Site selection .. Holme Pierrepont

 


Site selection has been approved by Joe today, so I've started looking for some information until I can visit it ..



Holme Pierrepont

Holme Pierrepont is a hamlet located in south of the city of Nottingham in Nottinghamshire, England. It is in the Gamston ward of the Rushcliffe local authority in the East Midlands region.
The word "Holme" comes from the Old English and Old Norse words for a small island or low lying land by a river. "Pierrepont" is French for "Stone Bridge"; the family came over with William the Conqueror in 1066 and settled in Nottinghamshire in 1280.
