Shouldn't the hardy stuff be at Blackdown if that's where the monument is? quercus robur 00:21, 5 Dec 2003 (UTC)
- Blackdown is not a village but the hill above Portesham. The Hardy stuff should be at Thomas Masterman Hardy and Hardy Monument. Joe D (t) 22:02, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)
The Hardy connection is a notable thing about the village and merits a mention in this article, particularly as many guides do not mention Blackdown Hill, merely saying that Hardy was a Portesham man or that the monument is on a hill near, or overlooking, the village. I have also removed the Blackdown link from the previous post as it refers to a place in Warwickshire, some distance from the article village in Dorset. Britmax 13:53, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
