To Gobsmacked.

I said the oldest known site from 1190. There are even older documents than that, which actualy names sites, boundaries, rivers and names of the then Saxon Lords who were living here at the time.

Read your history, visit the Public Record office at Kew in London, they've got hundreds of old documents, take you a life time to read, thats if you can read Latin and Old English. I've been at some fifty years.
