Newsapaper cutting giving a 'cartoon' potted history of Upholland

Interesting in that I had always associated Up Holland with Sir Robert de Holland and perhaps took his name, but the Doomsday book prepared shortly after after the Norman conquest according to the cartoon seems to pre-date this as Anglo Saxon 'HOILAND'.
