Unintentional inaccuracy which hides an inadvertent historical accuracy:
"The park's name comes from the Manor of Hyde, which was the northeast sub-division of the manor of Eia (the other two sub-divisions were Ebury and Neyte) and appears as such in the Domesday Book.[7] The name is believed to be of Saxon origin, and means a unit of land, the hide, that was appropriate for the support of a single family and dependents.[8] Through the Middle Ages, it was property of Westminster Abbey, and the woods in the manor were used both for firewood and shelter for game."

Still a fallacy though ...

I contacted Miniart via the contact form on their web-site and informed them about this typo.
They answered back today and said they would fix it.
