I will add a clue for the Scottish bonus: the football team still uses the word City in its name.

REPLY: Correct. Now it is Jona26’s turn to post a question.

 

[Jona26]

Thanks.
In which English town are 6 former Archbishops of Canterbury buried in the same church?

Edit: They wouldn't be buried if they were current Archbishops!

Too obvious to be Canterbury, surely, so I'll opt for St Albans.

Sorry neither of those. There is a tenuous connection to the previous question!

It's not Rochester then?

 

[Jona26]

It's not Rochester then?

That would have been far too obvious a clue!!!

 

[GRALISTAIR]

Lambeth or does that not count?

 

[Jona26]

Lambeth or does that not count?

Not Lambeth either but getting closer geographically.

 

[Jona26]

The connection to the previous question is to do with cities - or not!

 

[GRALISTAIR]

Isn’t there a few ( ancient ones) in Croydon? However that doesn’t connect to previous question.

Croydon is the correct answer! There are 6 Archbishops of Canterbury buried in Croydon Minster.

Croydon was the site of the summer palace of the archbishops and the former buildings are now part of a school. The Whitgift shopping centre is named after one of them.

In terms of connection to the previous question - Croydon has tried (and failed) several times to gain city status.

Gralistair - the pulpit is yours...

Sorry no.

Ukraine? (Last try, re that general milieu !)

 

[xotGD]

I'll say USA.

USA is correct - we now have the correct country. Narrow down to state and city/town please.

Further south into what is truly considered the south.
