Mintlaw is also a village planned or extended by James Ferguson, Laird of Pitfour.

Billericay also has a farming museum.

Shoeburyness is also mentioned in the lyrics of Ian Dury's song 'Billericay Dickie'

Bognor Regis is another location where the remains of a WWII Mulberry Harbour lie in the shallows just offshore.

 

[John Griffiths]

Melcombe Regis also acquired its suffix after entertaining a recuperating King George.

 

[DerekC]

The inhabitants of Melcombe Regis paid for the cutting of a white horse at Osmington to celebrate the connection with George III. It is said that he was angry because he is depicted riding out of the town rather than entering it.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Gainford on Tees also has a church within its environs that is dedicated to St Osmund.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

The geographer Charles Bungay Fawcett (1883–1952), regarded as "one of the founders of modern British academic geography" and an early promoter of the idea of regional planning, was born into a farming family in Staindrop, County Durham, and went to school in nearby Gainford.

Garstang in Lancashire also has a pub called The Wheatsheaf.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Cheddar also has a Market Cross.

 

[John Griffiths]

The church in Zeal Monachorum also has a bell made by the Bilbie family of bellfounders.

 

[DerekC]

Toller Porcorum also has a part-Latin name.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Kingscombe in Dorset also lies on the line of the River Hooke.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

I don't think that there is a place called Kingscombe or Kingcombe.

There's a Nature Reserve called Kingscombe Meadows, and a Centre called Kingcombe, both of which are on the line of the River Hooke, but neither of them are in a settlement that bears either of those names.

Kingscombe in Dorset also lies on the line of the River Hooke.

This posting above has now been struck-through. Apologies to one and all.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Tnank you; let's go on with this:

Like the other Toller villages of Toller Fratrum and Toller Whelme, the name was taken from the river, which is now known as the Hooke.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Melbury Osmond was also once under the jurisdiction of the Beaminster Poor Law Union.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

The Dorset Ooser is a wooden head that featured in the 19th-century folk culture of Melbury Osmond before it went missing around 1897. In 1975, a replica of the original Ooser was produced by John Byfleet, and it has since been on display at Dorset County Museum in Dorchester.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Huddersfield also has the remains of an Iron Age fort within its environs.

 

[John Griffiths]

Harold Wilson, Lord Wilson of Rievaulx, born in Huddersfield, was buried at Old Town, Isles of Scilly.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Porthloo is also a settlement on the island of St. Mary's, Isles of Scilly.

 

[John Griffiths]

The only golf course on Scilly is at Porthloo. The only course on Sheppey is at Minster-on-Sea.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

During the Second World War the Shoeburyness Boom, which ran across the Thames Estuary to protect shipping from submarine attack, ran from Royal Oak Point (near Minster) to Shoeburyness in Essex.

 

[DerekC]

The MoD site at Shoeburyness is run by QinetiQ plc, which also runs MoD Boscombe Down, near Amesbury in Wiltshire.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Deeping St James in Lincolnshire is another settlement that was chosen for the erection of a Benedictine priory.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

The Churches of Deeping St James, with St Guthlac's church in Market Deeping, comprise the Churches Together in Deeping group.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Duddington also lies on the line of the River Welland.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Duddington Mill featured in the wartime series of paintings Recording Britain, painted by S.R. Badmin in 1940, which is now in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum. Stanley Roy Badmin was an English painter and etcher particularly noted for his book illustrations and landscapes. He was born in Sydenham in 1906, and died in Bignor, West Sussex, in 1989.

Lullingstone also has the remains of a Roman villa.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Lullingstone also has the remains of a Roman villa.

Apologies if I am incorrect, but is there an actually recognised settlement by the name of Lullingstone?
