Huntsham in Devon was also once administered by the ancient Hundred of Tiverton.

 

[Calthrop]

Stoke Ferry, Norfolk, also has a church -- though this one no longer in use as such -- dedicated to All Saints.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Fincham in Norfolk was also once under the jurisdiction of the Downham Poor Law Union.

 

[Calthrop]

Outwell in Norfolk also lies on the A1122 road (just before it joins the A1101).

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

West Thurrock in Essex also has a church that is dedicated to St Clement.

 

[Calthrop]

Large-scale and lavish shopping venues which the snobbishly-inclined tend to regard as somewhat "infra dig.": West Thurrock has the Lakeside Shopping Centre, while Bicester (Oxfordshire) has the Bicester Village shopping complex.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Broadbottom in Derbyshire also has a church that is named Church of the Immaculate Conception.

 

[Calthrop]

Crowden, Derbyshire, also lies on the River Etherow -- the Longdendale chain of reservoirs thereon.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Millhouse Green in South Yorkshire also lies on the route of the A628 road.

 

[Calthrop]

Millhouse Green has a pub called the Blacksmith [sic] Arms. Ryton-on-Dunsmore, Warwickshire -- just south-east of Coventry -- has a pub with the name of the Blacksmith's Arms.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Bishop's Itchington in Warwickshire was also once administered by the Hundred of Knightlow.

 

[Calthrop]

A bit of a humdrum association, perhaps; but we've already had in the game. the "Itchington" derivation -- nothing to do with skin irritations, but a propos the local small River Itchen, far lesser-known than its Hampshire namesake. Bishop's Itchington's church is dedicated to St. Michael; Helston, Cornwall, has a church with the same dedicatee.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Landewednack in Cornwall was also once under the jurisdiction of the Helston Poor Law Union.

 

[Calthrop]

Landewednack parish, is the most southerly on the mainland of Great Britain. The parish of Canisbay, Highland -- near John o' Groats -- is the corresponding northernmost.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Kirkwall in Orkney also hosts an agricultural show.

 

[Calthrop]

In the mid-1780s, the highly-controversial radical Whig politician Charles James Fox (1749 --1806) was made -- in the course of electoral-type shenanigans which would appear to have been ethically somewhat doubtful -- a burgess of Kirkwall (from the context, he seemingly never went to the place). Fox was educated at that eminent public school Eton (Berkshire).

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Repton in Derbyshire is also a settlement with a public school.

 

[Calthrop]

The actor Basil Rathbone (1892 -- 1967) attended Repton School in his teens. His first appearance on stage was in 1911, at the Theatre Royal, Ipswich (he played Hortensio in The Taming of the Shrew).

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Hastings in East Sussex also has a Meeting House of the Society of Friends.

 

[D6130]

Saltburn in North Yorkshire also has a cliff railway. (Hope this oblique railway reference is permitted!)

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Gawsworth in Cheshire East also hosts a Classic Car show.

 

[johnnychips]

The rather eccentric playwright Samuel ‘Maggoty’ Johnson lived the latter years of his life at Gawsworth and is indeed buried there. I can’t find out how he got his nickname. However, there is a maggot farm at Clifton near Conisbrough, Doncaster. The smell vaguely annoys golfers on the nearby course.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Thorpe Salvin in South Yorkshire was also once administered by the Upper Division of the Strafforth and Tickhill Wapentake.
