Wisborough Green also has a church that is dedicated to St Peter ad Vincula.

 

[cjp]

Hampers Green - so many connections ....
It has Green in its name,
it is linked to Wisborough Green by the A272
and it is also in West Sussex

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

If this is the Hampers Green that Petworth is connected to, then I will say that Dunham Massey also has a large National Trust house set in its own large ground areas

 

[cjp]

It is.

Durham Massey lies between the Cheshire Ring Canal Walk and the Trans Pennine Trail both of which pass through Lymm just a short distance from each other, one following a canal , the other the track of a disused railway line.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Worsley is another settlement to be found on the line of the Bridgewater Canal.

 

[cjp]

Bridgewater Somerset always makes me think of Ironbridge

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Agecroft also has a rowing club.

 

[Darren R]

Agecroft A Power Station was built by Salford Corporation Electricity Department and formally opened in 1925 by Alderman G Billington, the Mayor of Salford.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Preston is another inland settlement where a dock system was established.

 

[cjp]

There is a place called Preston just north of Brighton

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Ozleworth also has a church that is dedicated to St Nicholas of Myra

 

[cjp]

A more popular version of St Nicholas (of Myra) - St Nick is also known as Santa and is around Christmas eve so Christmas Common

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Trerice in Cornwall is another settlement where recusants were resident after Henry VIII made changes to religious affairs in England.

 

[Welshman]

Sir John Arundell, who extended Trerice House, was born in Cornwall, but was usually called Tilbury Jack.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Inverkip also once had an oil-fired power station

 

[Darren R]

Inverkip was made a Burgh of Barony before the Act of Union in 1707. The last Burgh of Barony to be created was Ardrossan in 1846.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Castlebay is another settlement to be served by ferry services.

 

[Darren R]

Kisimul Castle, the home of the Clan MacNeil, is located in the centre of Castlebay. During the Scottish Civil War of 1644 - 1651, the chief of Clan MacNeil, Neil Og, was appointed as Colonel of the Horse by Charles II of England and fought in the Battle of Worcester.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Winchester also suffered an attack during the 12th century English Civil War known as "The Anarchy"

 

[High Dyke]

Hereford also has a cathedral.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Downham Market also once had a butter market.

 

[Darren R]

Among the notable buildings of Downham Market is its mediaeval parish church dedicated to Saint Edmund the Martyr, who is portrayed on the Wilton Diptych.

Houston, we have a problem...or at least my cognitive reasoning has gone astray, but this iconic art work, which has been in a monarchical collection at one time, does not lend me readily to think of the specific Wilton that is referred to...:roll:

Well I was sort of thinking that the Wilton Diptych is so-named because it was in the collection at Wilton House, which is in Wilton, but perhaps that is a bit too tangential! So instead I shall suggest the following:

Downham Market is where King Charles I hid following his defeat in the Battle of Naseby.

Many thanks

Bristol also suffered from the 14th century Black Death catastrophe.

 

[cjp]

It was whilst convalescing in Bristol that Brunel entered and won the competion to built the bridge at Clifton (Clifton Suspension Bridge)

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

There is also a Roman Catholic diocese of Salford

 

[cjp]

The British Broadcasting Company still has London as its central of power.

 

[Darren R]

Dear Old Auntie Beeb's headquarters in London is now Broadcasting House on Langham Place and Portland Place. Recently renovated and extended (at vast expense!), a new wing was added on the eastern side and named The John Peel Wing after the late dj. John Peel was born in Heswall, Wirral.

(London seemed a bit too broad, so I thought I better narrow it down a little and keep to the same theme!)

 

[Welshman]

Apparently, the broadcaster Fiona Bruce attended Heswall Primary School.
She now lives in Sydenham, Oxfordshire.
