What is Robert Hooke hometown?

Answer 1

The present street called Hook Hill was named after Robert Hooke's family, who lived in a house on that road. The earliest use of this name is on a 1769 map of the Isle of Wight, where the farm is named as "Hook Hill Farm". The family were reputed to have lived in a dwelling towards the bottom of the hill and this house became known by the name of Hooke's Cottage or Hooke Hill farm.
