The above coordinates are for the green in the centre of Hextable.
The origin of the village goes back to Saxon Times with the first documented appearance in 1203.
The village grew up in late Victorian times with the selling off of Hextable Farm in 1870 (prior to this there were only three houses on the land that now comprises the village). It was originally set up as an area for the well-to-do to live in fine villas. Many of these villas are still standing, although two, Southbank and Newbank in College Road, were recently torn down to make way for flats and townhouses. The village's to-date most famous resident, Arthur Mee, known for the Children's Encyclopedia, lived in one such villa, St David's. His most famous utterance on his home village was the withering, although a little inaccurate, statement "Hextable has no history!"
Notably, there are no pubs within the village (I did notice this living there during my "A" levels), due to restrictions placed by former landowners in the late 19th century, although there are pubs to be found on its woodland outskirts.
Now this is interesting: According to the census in 2001, Hextable has one of the highest percentage number of household's with two (or more) car ownership in the country!
Now to the puzzle! How do you work it out? Is it a play on words? Do you have to count the vowels? Is it the position of the vowels? some of the above? or none of the above? Could it be that I had too much to drink when I put the puzzle together? Obviousely not in Hextable-ha ha
