		+	'''In Hallmark April 1983''' a 'native' (almost certainly [[Dennis Claydon]]) wrote :- A picture from the past of old Loosley Row as it was at the turn of the century.
		+
		+	"The Sprat" is situated in what is known locally as "[[The Stret]]", but now officially named Loosley Hill. Reputedly built in the 18th century, it was, until the early years of this century, a public house. A directory of 1847 lists as many as three ‘beer retailers’ in Loosley Row, James Harman, Henry Parslow, and Mrs. Ann Verney. Unfortunately, the names of the houses are not recorded. Another directory of 1864 however, lists Henry Janes as Landlord of "The Sprat”. Landlords listed in later years are: 1883 and 1899 Jesse Rixon; 1901, 1903 and 1907 Mrs. Caroline Rixon; 1911 Horace Adams.
		+
		+	During the years a large wing has been added to the side of the original building. The whole range of buildings were recently transformed into two country houses of character - North and South Sprat' and put on the market. Both homes command panoramic views of the Vale of Aylesbury and apart from the usual attractions, South Sprat has the added bonus of a wine vault, converted from the old beer cellar.
		+
		+	Behind "The Sprat", across bush covered pasture land, is clearly visible footpath L16, leading over Callows Hill to Smalldean, a footpath recommended for its fine views.
		+
		+	The brick and flint cottages in the foreground still survive as Steep Hill and Omega Cottage. The open land surrounding "The Sprat"™ has now been lost under development. In contrast to this the group of cottages, known as Coombes, crowning the summit of the hill in the background, have long since vanished.
