Watton-at-Stone: implying that some Khmer extremists have reduced the (Angkor) Wat temple complex to tons of stone.

Nottingham - people are OTT in where else but Nam, as vets would refer to it. The gh could be a disguised 'Good Heavens' at the nefarious goings-on.
@John Griffiths suggests (paraphrasing) Cambridge -- Camb[odia] + ri [religious instruction] + "whatever"
Gentlemen -- "across the board", marvellous mental gymnastics: congratulations all round ... @John Griffiths, I'm giving it to you for your Watton-at-Stone as above: you have the totally right scenario; though my envisaged answer was Blue Anchor (West Somerset Railway) -- the malefactors blew up Angkor Wat (in the absence of almost-bull's-eye as by you, I'd been about to give an "on heritage line" pointer).
@John Griffths, the next one is yours to set.

Sorry, Neo, not Hunts Cross, but Dale has it with Nunthorpe: nun=sister, and Jeremy Thorpe, former Liberal Party leader.
Your turn to break the mould, Dale.

Wembley Stadium?
That's the one.
The person referred to in the clue is the late Tofiq Bahramov (1925-1993) the linesman (at the time wrongly referred to as Russian) whose actions led to the awarding of England's controversial third goal in the 1966 football World Cup final.
Your turn to kick off the next round.
Trivia. Bahramov is the only referee to have had a stadium named after him the Lenin Stadium in Baku being renamed in his memory shortly after his death.

Indeed. Sorry I couldn't think of anything more brain-taxing at this time of night. Your turn to dodge the stone-throwers. (In fairness, it's not nearly as bad as it was back in the 1970s and '80s).

Is Oban known for stone throwing? If so 'twould be a shame for such a beautiful area.
