Hidcote Place in the suburb of Burnside, Christchurch

Hidcote Place in Burnside – Named after Hidcote Manor Garden, located in the village of Hidcote Bartrim, near Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire, England. First appears in street directories in 1981.A small amount of information from the library website. Hidcote Manor Garden is lovely and I am sure that I have found a geocache near here. Lovely as Hidcote Manor Garden is I don’t believe that the street is actually named after it. There is an English lavender known as Hidcote lavender and there is the nearby street Lavandula Crescent. This tiny street runs from Crosdale Place to Coringa Reserve, All the houses on this street were built in 1980 apart from one built in 2010. Another street with lovely gardens.

Edited to say that there is a connection to Avice Hill and she subdivided this land in 1960s along with Ethel Francis.
