Rushton, Northamptonshire, is also the site of a famed Folly.

(Wimpole's Folly in Wimpole and the Rushton Triangular Lodge in, erm, Rushton... :oops:)

^^ Barton Seagrave was the the birthplace of lyric soprano Elizabeth Harwood in 1938. After a operatic career spanning two decades, she died at the age of 52 in her home in Fryerning, Essex.

Hastings also has a pub called The General Havelock.

Guildford was home to another manufacturer (Dennis Bros) of early motorised lawnmowers in the 1900s.

Oxenhope was another location used in the making of the 1970 film "The Railway Children."
