Mrs L is correct.
I realise that this advances the game not at all; but if I have things rightly, Dylan Thomas's Llareggub, item 19 (slightly rude reverse-spelling) in Under Milk Wood, is also a fictionalised version of Laugharne -- said village, greatly loved by Thomas.

It probably also drew elements, including topography, from New Quay (the one on Cardigan Bay), where Thomas had spent a short period.
Time for an update on the fictional villages quiz and a clue to those not found yet :
11/ Tarrant - Clue : A TV series set in the South which lasted for 5 years.
12/ Rotherwood - Clue : A Book with the lead character played a well known late lamented actor.
16/ Bishops Tippings - Clue : A TV series set in the North - started on ITV in the 80's before moving to Channel 4 in the 90's.
18/ Chillingbourne - Clue : A Book that was written between 1387 & 1400.

Bishops Tippings was in 'Brass' with Timothy West, I believe.
Is that everything now?

You are correct and yes that was the last answer. I will get back with the winner/s shortly.

Keeping with places, although this time real ones, there are five cathedral towns in England and one in Wales. What are they? For clarity, a cathedral town must be Anglican; other denominations do not count.

Correct. And thanks for that, as it was the one I was going to have difficulty finding a clue for, should it have come to that.
None of these.

My brother has suggested Rochester, St Albans and Bury St Edmunds

I am afraid not, even though (by most definitions) it is the largest town in England.
Your brother is correct with two of these.
