Thanks for this, Gregory. Yes, you are right about the Bemerton Vicarage, including about its size.
That whole stretch of country around Salisbury and west towards Sherborne (where Louis MacNeice experienced part of his schooling - and where my godfather was, after the War, a house-master) and on down to Beaminster and the coast have special associations for Irene and myself. But though this gave a particular context to our visit to that part of the world back in 2004, it is, I concede, not relevant here.
