I am of the view that the word "Estate" should be removed from the title of this page. David Lauder 10:46, 26 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Asquith and Roosevelt

edit

User:86.169.172.128 has pointed out that "Asquith reportedly entertained Franklin D. Roosevelt at Archerfield, when the D-Day landings of 1944 were the hot topic." cannot be true as Herbert Asquith had passed away on 15th February 1928. Please clarify.

If it happened at all, the host must have been Winston Churchill. See http://universalstarbox.com/archerfield.htm . Robert Cutts, April 2012 86.186.214.225 (talk) 21:08, 25 April 2012 (UTC).Reply

I have removed the nonsense about Squiffy entertaining FDR long after his own death. DuncanHill (talk) 23:56, 13 November 2014 (UTC)Reply
It has struck me that there may have been some confusion about Asquiths. The PM was rarely known as Herbert, but his son, the poet Herbert was. Do we know if he lived at Archerfield at the relevant time? DuncanHill (talk) 19:33, 17 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
