 Portesham, Dorset, England
Hardy was Captain of the Victory, in whose arms Nelson was to die at Trafalgar.
In the Domesday Book of 1086 it occurs as Portesham, and indeed this is the usual spelling throughout the medieval period and up to modern times, with the variant Portisham appearing only from the 16th century.
From the earliest spelling the second element is shown to be Old English hamm 'a hemmed-in piece of land, an enclosure' rather than Old English ham (with a long vowel) 'a homestead, a village'.

 Portesham Quarry   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
In the 19th Century, a quarry was opened in the Portland and lower Purbeck beds in the northern escarpment of the Weymouth anticline (The Ridgeway), above the village of Portesham.
The Portland stone from Portesham Quarry is typically much finer grained (chalky) than that quarried on Portland and it was probably not possible to extract it in anything like such large blocks as those available there.
The nearby monument to Admiral Thomas Masterman Hardy (a native of Portesham) is built of stone from Portesham Quarry.
