Settlement Association

[Radley]

Huntington is also a suburb of Chester.

 

[High Dyke]

Spondon, Derbyshire also has a church dedicated to St Werburgh.

 

[Calthrop]

If all else fails, take refuge in awful puns -- five miles south-east of Spondon, is Sawley, Derbyshire: which leads to telling of the doleful chap in those parts who was highly de-sponden-t, and sawley (sorely) troubled ...

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

The Derbyshire settlement of Dale Abbey which took its name from that of a religious house was also once administered by the Hundred of Morleston.

 

[Calthrop]

Burghclere in Hampshire -- a few miles south of Newbury -- also has a pub called the Carpenters Arms.

 

[High Dyke]

Sandham Memorial Chapel is in the village of Burghclere, Hampshire, England. It is a Grade I listed, 1920s decorated chapel, designed by Lionel Pearson. The chapel was built to accommodate a series of paintings by the English artist Stanley Spencer.

Sir Stanley Spencer, CBE RA (30 June 1891 – 14 December 1959) was an English painter. Shortly after leaving the Slade School of Art, Spencer became well known for his paintings depicting Biblical scenes occurring as if in Cookham, Berkshire, the small village beside the River Thames where he was born and spent much of his life.

 

[Calthrop]

Another -- broadly speaking -- "arts-person" associated with Cookham -- and to some extent a contemporary of Spencer -- was Kenneth Grahame (1859 -- 1932). Grahame lived in childhood at or near Cookham; his The Wind in the Willows is thought to have been inspired by the River Thames at Cookham -- he returned to Cookham, to write same. The Wild Wood in the book, is said to have been inspired by Quarry Wood at nearby Bisham, Berkshire.

Remenham in Berkshire was also once administered by the Hundred of Beynhurst.

 

[Calthrop]

Newport in Shropshire also has a church dedicated to St. Nicholas.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Eyton upon the Weald Moors in Shropshire was also once administered by the Hundred of Bradford South.

 

[Radley]

The A442 runs opposite. It starts from Droitwich Spa.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Whiteley Green in Cheshire East also has an archery society.

 

[Calthrop]

Somersham, Cambridgeshire, also has a pub called the Windmill.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

[johnnychips]

The font from the now-closed St James’s church in Little Raveley is now in Peterborough museum.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Yaxley in Cambridgeshire was also once under the jurisdiction of the Peterborough Poor Law Union.

 

[Calthrop]

Lamarsh, Essex (between Sudbury and Bures) also has a name whose beginning sounds rather like the name of a foreign high-altitude useful domestic animal (sorry !).

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Fallowfield in Greater Manchester also has a church that is dedicated to the Holy Innocents,

 

[John Griffiths]

The first McDonald's drive-thru [sic] opened in Fallowfield in 1986, soon to be followed by similar establishments in Dudley, Coventry and the NW London suburb Neasden.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Strathaven in South Lanarkshire also has a church that is dedicated to St Patrick.

 

[Calthrop]

Swindon also holds an annual hot air balloon festival. (Strathaven's is Scotland's only "gig" of this kind.)

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Rutherglen in South Lanarkshire also has a greyhound racing track.

 

[91130nut]

Truro also has a Wetherspoons pub with a "un-English" name. No offence intended to our Scottish or Cornish friends !!

 

[John Griffiths]

Truro is linked (tides permitting) by a four-times-a-day ferry to Falmouth.

 

[Calthrop]

Mayfield, Staffordshire -- near Ashbourne -- also has a namesake settlement in the US State of Kentucky.

 

[John Griffiths]

Mayfield Mill produces, says Wikipedia, rather unkindly in my opinion, "warped and twisted yarn". Uffculme, Devon, also has a mill producing, inter alia, woolen yarn.

 

[Calthrop]

Agreed -- poor Mayfield yarn is liable to get a complex ... re Uffculme: Newmarket, Suffolk, also has a church dedicated to St. Mary.

 

[John Griffiths]

Wetherby in West Yorkshire is also associated with horse racing.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Fewston in North Yorkshire was also once administered by the Upper Division of the Claro Wapentake.

 

[Calthrop]

Fewston was the ancestral home of the Fairfax family; most famous member of which, is probably Sir Thomas Fairfax (1612 -- 71) -- general in the Parliamentary armies in the English Civil War: and from what we read, one of the nicer military guys on either side, in that conflict. Fairfax is buried in the church of Bilbrough, North Yorkshire -- between York and Tadcaster.
