street so called.

S.S.

A part of the town of Richmond (Surrey) is called "the Vineyard." The name,
of the origin of which I am ignorant, is applied to a collection of small
houses between the Roman Catholic Chapel and the Rose Cottage Hotel.

W.A.G.

In the fields between Buckden and Diddington, in the county of Huntingdon,
there is what is called "the Vineyard" at the present day; and connected
therewith is what is called, and evidently from the shape has been, a "fish
pond." In Buckden is the abbot's house, with the original door; and there
is no doubt but what the above was, in olden times, belonging to a
religious house in that part.

M.C.R.

A small close of land adjoining the churchyard at Oiston, Nottinghamshire
(due west of the church), goes by the name of "the Vineyard."

P.P.

There is also a street at Abingdon called "the Vineyard," from the land
having been formerly used for that purpose by the Benedictines of Abingdon
Abbey. If my memory do not betray me, there is some interesting information
on the early cultivation of the vine in England, in an article by Mr. T.
Hudson Turner, in the _Archæological Journal_, which I have not now at
hand.
