	Fisheries.co.uk - Coombe Pool and Country Park, Binley, Coventry, West Midlands
		Coombe has a history of being a challenging water, where in the correct conditions large numbers of fish can be caught.
		The Pike in Coombe tend to be very nomadic, maybe due to the featureless lake bed, therefore, when fishing, the roving approach is advisable, swim hopping until the fish are found.
		Float fishing for pike is rarely used at Coombe as most anglers, when using dead baits, use running ledger rigs with light leads on the lead link, allowing it to rest in the silt and not pull the bait in to it.

	Coombe Abbey - Chapter 6
		After the death of the fourth Earl, the Craven family decided to dispose of Combe (or Coombe, as it was now spelled) Abbey and in 1922 they arranged to sell the entire estate of 6,952 acres to John Todd, a property developer.
		The estate was split into 166 lots and it is interesting to see in the catalogue the names of many of the lands which had been given to the Monks of Combe in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries and which had remained as part of the estate since that time.
		When Coombe Abbey came up for sale in 1923, Mr Gray bought it not only because he wanted to live there, but also because he believed that if he did not buy it, it might be totally demolished - a fate met by many historic buildings during the twentieth century.
