as fordable on GPS and paper maps.) This is being used by Apple TV+ from 25 January 2021 as a filming location for 1890s Adwinter (a fictional village set near the River Blackwater that's only five miles away) in The Essex Serpent set in 1890. This required all modern yachts to be removed for the duration of filming. Village PCSO In 2008 Alresford made the news when it was reported that its residents were unhappy with the rising levels of crime. In response to this, on top of their normal taxes the villagers paid an additional £13,000 so that the local Essex Police could have an officer assigned to specifically patrol the village. The appointed Police Community Support Officer (PCSO) was seen as a success by the villagers and was credited in an overall reduction of crime in the village. Despite the large amount spent on having her specifically patrol the village residents voted eight to three to keep her post. Official figures show that since the deployment of a dedicated PCSO for the village crime has been reduced including criminal damage and anti social behaviour, which was previously increasing in the village before the PCSO was appointed. The cost of PCSO is now shared with a neighbouring village, Great Bentley.
