Why is Hungerford listed as a town in Wiltshire...? I'm certain it's in Berkshire. Muntfish 13:18, 2004 Aug 26 (UTC)

Hungerford is not in Wiltshire. The Association of British Counties lists Hungerford as being in Berkshire. However, I do remember reading somewhere that there quite a few places in Berkshire that were technically in Wiltshire because they were part of a feudal manor based in Wiltshire. I think an act of parliament in the nineteenth century cleared that up. Perhaps, it is better not to list Hungerford as being in Wiltshire. Gareth Hughes 12:56, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)

You are correct about the parts of Wiltshire in the Berkshire. There is a bit about it on this page: Counties_(Detached_Parts)_Act_1844#Wiltshire. Some of that should probably be on here I think.--MarkyParky 23:58, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

I have a question that concerns the Jun Kazama article: [1], saying that her fights in Tekken 2 take place here. If someone has a copy of the PSX version of the game and makes Jun the opponent in Practice mode, can you tell if this is Wiltshire? Thanx, --D.F.
