Also with a thirteen-letter somewhat tongue-twisting name: is Ballylongford in Co. Kerry -- equidistant by about seven miles, in different directions, from Listowel; and Ballybunion (of eccentric railway fame).

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Litlington in East Sussex also has a church that is dedicated to St Michael the Archangel.

 

[Calthrop]

The East Sussex Litlington: has a namesake Litlington in Bedfordshire, a little way west of Royston. I confess that previously to reading the above post, I had never heard of either.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

My researches over the last hour are in some depth and whilst I have traced a Litlington in Cambridgeshire and a Lidlington in Bedfordshire, I still cannot trace a Litlington in Bedfordshire.

I shall keep trying more sources to see if they can assist my researches,

My mistake: I gave the non-Sussex Litlington (with "t") -- three miles west of Royston -- as in Bedfordshire; it is indeed, as per your post, in Cambridgeshire. Apologies.

Thanks for that clarification, which now enabled me to make the following posting........

Wimborne in Dorset also has a church that is dedicated to St Catherine.

 

[Calthrop]

Ely, Cambridgeshire, also holds an annual Folk Festival.

 

[John Griffiths]

Ely's name derived from an Old English term for 'district of eels'. Another eel-related place name is that of Eel Pie Island, in the River Thames at Twickenham in west London.

 

[High Dyke]

Bristol was also the location of a shot tower. A shot tower is a tower designed for the production of small-diameter shot balls by free fall of molten lead, which is then caught in a water basin.

Sherston in Wiltshire also lies on the line of the River Avon.

 

[Calthrop]

Tramore, Co. Waterford, also has a Church of the Holy Cross.

 

[Tetragon213]

Tipperary also has a horse racing venue

 

[D6130]

Tipperary, although situated in the county of that name, is not the county town. A similar situation applies in Co. Waterford....the county town of which is Dungarvan.

 

[Tetragon213]

Where Dungarvan sits on the Colligan River, Galway sits on the Corrib River, another river known for its fast flowing current.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Holmfirth in West Yorkshire also hosts a folk festival.

 

[John Griffiths]

Thetford in Norfolk also provided locations for a popular and long-lasting television comedy.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Bramhall is also a DfT category "E" station that was opened in 1845.

 

[Calthrop]

The actor and comedian Ronnie Barker (1929 -- 2006) worked in a repertory company early in his career. He and his family lived in the latter part of his life, in Dean, Oxfordshire -- between Charlbury and Chipping Norton (and incidentally, just down the road from Jeremy Clarkson's celebrated farm).

Bramhall is also a DfT category "E" station that was opened in 1845.

I think you may have the wrong quiz

"Old fogey syndrome" strikes once again. That posting is now struck-through, to tidy up the thread.

Thetford in Norfolk also provided locations for a popular and long-lasting television comedy.

Cranwich in Norfolk was also once under the jurisdiction of the Thetford Poor Law Union.

 

[Tetragon213]

Stoke Ferry is also bypassed by the A134

My "Bramhall" response struck out, likewise.

 

[High Dyke]

Stoke Ferry is also bypassed by the A134

Christopher John Hesketh-Harvey (30 April 1957 – 1 February 2023) was a British musical performer, translator, composer, and screenwriter. Hesketh-Harvey owned All Saints' Church in Stoke Ferry until his death on 1 February 2023, at the age of 65.

Hesketh-Harvey was educated as senior chorister at Canterbury Cathedral in Kent.

 

[Tetragon213]

Just as there is (or perhaps "was", or maybe "is supposed to be") an Archbishop of Canterbury, there is also an Archbishop of York

 

[High Dyke]

Cowes, Isle of Wight was also targeted during the Baedeker raids in 1942.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Newport in the Isle of Wight also lies of the line of the River Medina.

 

[Calthrop]

The British Isles' being full of Newports, is well-known: including one in Ireland, of whose existence I had been unaware until a few minutes ago. I'd known about the Newport in Co. Mayo; have just learned of Newport, Co. Tipperary -- far west in its county, about ten miles east of Limerick city.

 

[Calthrop]

My "Bramhall" response struck out, likewise.

And I've just seen -- I inadvertently omitted Mr. Barker's "rep" doings, having been in Bramhall. @Xenophon PCDGS -- you're not the only one afflicted with Old Fogey Syndrome !
