More about this scene

Much of England's social history can be explored by examining the manorial structure of villages such as Melcombe Bingham. It is interesting to note that the parish church seems to belong more to the adjacent manor house than to the village.

My mother Patricia Bingham visited Bingham's Melcombe probably in the 1950's and told me, her daughter, that the house was derelict and the hall was being used as a hayshed!  I do hope to vist the place at some time next year, and wonder who owns it now and if possible to  get in touch with the present owner.  Look forward to hearing from someone sometime.  Hilary Bingham White.
