Polesworth, Warwickshire is on the route of the Coventry Canal.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Tamworth in Staffordshire also has a church that is dedicated to St Editha.

 

[D6130]

Tutbury in Derbyshire also has a Norman castle.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

I have a feeling that the settlement of Tutbury with the remains of a Norman castle was in Staffordshire.

Anslow in Staffordshire was also once under the jurisdiction of the Burton-upon-Trent Poor Law Union.

 

[Tetragon213]

Westbury is also home to a Bell Inn

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Trowbridge in Wiltshire also lies on the line of the River Biss.

 

[High Dyke]

I have a feeling that the settlement of Tutbury with the remains of a Norman castle was in Staffordshire.

Correct. The adjacent village of Hatton is in Derbyshire, with the River Dove the county boundary between the two.

Trowbridge in Wiltshire also lies on the line of the River Biss.

William Cook, born in Trowbridge in 1905, was involved with the development of the British nuclear bomb at Aldermaston in Berkshire.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Sulham in Berkshire was also once administered by the Hundred of Theale.

 

[Bradford PA]

Sulham in Berkshire was also once administered by the Hundred of Theale.

A feature of Sulham is Wilder's Folly. Chris Wilder is currently in his second spell as manager of Sheffield United.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Thurlstone in South Yorkshire also lies on the line of the River Don.

 

[Calthrop]

Thurlstone's parish church goes by the name of St. Saviour's. There would seem to be more churches in Britain thus designated, than I'd imagined: Westgate-on-Sea, Kent (close by Margate) has one.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Sarre in Kent was also once administered by the Hundred of Ringslow.

 

[Calthrop]

Sarre's pub, the Crown Inn, is known locally as the "Cherry Brandy House" -- a special recipe of cherry brandy can be purchased from behind the bar. Also specialising in cherry brandy -- and other fruity spirituous joys -- is the Sloemotion Distillery at Barton-le-Willows, North Yorkshire: halfway between York and Malton.

Newton-le-Willows sahres the same suffix

 

[D6130]

Newton-le-Willows sahres the same suffix

Is that the one on Merseyside (formerly Lancashire) or the one in North Yorkshire?

 

[Tetragon213]

Is that the one on Merseyside (formerly Lancashire) or the one in North Yorkshire?

How many of the sodding places are there?!

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Heysham in Lancashire also has a church that is dedicated to St Peter.

 

[D6130]

Sizewell in Suffolk Is also the site of a nuclear power station.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Yoxford in Suffolk was also once under the jurisdiction of the Blything Poor Law Union.

 

[Calthrop]

Yoxford is well-known for its antique shops. The same applies to Hythe, Kent.

 

[High Dyke]

In June 1853, Colonel Hay arrived at Hythe, Kent, with a small staff of officers to establish the School of Musketry.

A separate school of musketry was established at the North Euston Hotel in Fleetwood, Lancashire in 1861, but it closed after just six years.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Dolphinholme in Lancashire also lies on the line of the River Wyre.

 

[Calthrop]

Seal, Kent -- near Sevenoaks -- also has a name (highly) associatable with marine mammals. (Kent seems to specialise in terse / weird place names.)

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Milnthorpe in West Yorkshire also has a church that is jointly dedicated to St Peter and St Paul.

 

[Calthrop]

Cannot seem to find a lot about Milnthorpe, West Yorkshire, beyond its existence. Taking the easy way out: there is a seemingly better-known and more-referenced Milnthorpe in Cumbria -- between Carnforth and Kendal.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Haverbrack in Westmorland was also once under the jurisdiction of the Kendal Poor Law Union.

 

[High Dyke]

During the middle of the 19th century the archaeology of caves became a high profile subject with the finding of human remains alongside those of extinct animals.

Haverbrack Dog Hole was one such location. Another notable example was Windmill Hill Cavern in Brixham, Devon.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Petersfield in Hampshire also has a statue of William of Orange.

 

[D6130]

Skipton in North Yorkshire also has a street named 'Sheep Street'....both towns having had their medieval prosperity founded on the wool trade

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Kirkby Malham in North Yorkshire was also once administered by the Staincliffe Wapentake.
