Settlement Association

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Isleworth in West London also has a "third-tier" Crown Court.

 

[Calthrop]

Feltham (London Borough of Hounslow) also lies on the River Crane. (This name is a possible "back-formation" involving nearby Cranford, also on river's course -- the river named after the settlement, not vice versa -- or at least, the names' origins are reckoned to be "interwoven".)

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Upper Halliford in Surrey was also once administered by the Hundred of Spelthorne.

 

[Calthrop]

One of many other settlements in England with a pub called the Goat: is Sheerness, Kent.

Inverkeithing in Fife also used to have a shipbreaking yard.

 

[DerekC]

RMS Mauretania, the second ship to carry the name, was dismantled at Thomas W Ward's yard in Inverkeithing in 1966. She was built at Cammell Laird in Birkenhead and launched in July 1938.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Repton in Derbyshire also has a suffragan bishop.

 

[Calthrop]

Repton's parish church is dedicated to St. Wystan (a Mercian prince murdered in 850 AD, later adjudged a saint and martyr -- some scholars are a bit sceptical about this one). The church of Wigston alias Wigston Magna -- Leicestershire (just south of Leicester): is dedicated to St. Wistan -- same chap, slightly different spelling.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Lubbesthorpe in Leicestershire was also once under the jurisdiction of the Blaby Poor Law Union.

 

[Calthrop]

Wiki sometimes comes out with weird items which raise more questions than they answer; as with this statement concerning features around Lubbesthorpe: "A rabbit warren here is also a Scheduled Ancient Monument". Eh? -- Paging Richard Adams in the afterlife -- he'd be able to make sense of that, if anyone could... Adams (1920 -- 2016) lived for the latter part of his life in Whitchurch, Hampshire.

New Alresford in Hampshire is also a noted centre for the cultivation of watercress.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Cheriton in Hampshire also lies on the line of the River Itchen.

 

[DerekC]

Cheriton is the home of the Flower Pots Inn, locally well known for good beer and excellent food. Sunbury on Thames has a pub of almost the same name, but in the singular rather than plural.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Wishaw in Lanarkshire also has a church that is dedicated to St Ignatius of Loyola.

 

[Springs Branch]

Another town served by First Glasgow's all-night bus network on Friday and Saturday nights is Clydebank.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Castlecary in North Lanarkshire also lies on the line of the Roman defensive Antonine Wall.

 

[Calthrop]

Castlecary in North Lanarkshire also lies on the line of the Roman defensive Antonine Wall.

The above-bolded has of course, an almost-namesake in Somerset: Castle Cary, approximately in between Shepton Mallet and Wincanton.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Compton Pauncefoot in Somerset was also once administered by the Hundred of Catsash.

 

[Calthrop]

A good deal of the filming of a recent serialised adaptation of Jane Austen's Mansfield Park, was done at the church and rectory of Compton Pauncefoot. The Austen-with-a-difference film Pride and Prejudice and Zombies was largely shot at Old Basing, Hampshire -- just east of Basingstoke.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Sherfield-on-Loddon in Hampshire also lies on the line of the River Loddon.

 

[Calthrop]

Kings Worthy (Hampshire) also lies on a section -- further south -- of the (somewhat discontinuous) A33 road.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Chilcomb in Hampshire was also once administered by the Hundred of Fawley.

 

[Calthrop]

There is also a prehistoric field system near Linkinhorne, Cornwall (a few miles north-west of Callington).

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Tregony in Cornwall also has a holy well within its environs.

 

[Calthrop]

Tregony -- once, at least theoretically, a more prominent place (it was a Rotten Borough in the bad old days before the 1832 Reform Act) -- had a coat of arms which featured a pomegranate. The coat of arms of Chesterfield (Derbyshire) is akin thereto, in its including a pomegranate tree.

 

[John Griffiths]

Kings Lynn also has a Wetherspoon hotel - The Globe.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Lincoln was also the scene of anti-Semetic riots in AD1190.

 

[Calthrop]

Gloucester is also twinned with a settlement in the German State of Rheinland-Pfalz. Lincoln's "twin" is Neustadt an der Weinstrasse; Gloucester's is Trier.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Northampton also has a Guildhall.

 

[John Griffiths]

 Stamford in Lincolnshire (just) also had a short-lived medieval university.
