Until their disbandment in 1312, the Knights Templar were major landowners on the higher lands of Lincolnshire, where they had a number of preceptories on property which provided income. One of the preceptories from which the Lincolnshire properties were managed was Horkstow, which is now a village and civil parish in North Lincolnshire.

Mrs S.B. and I have an arrangement: She doesn't complain about the amount of time I spend on Rail Forums if I don't complain about being annoyed by the sound of her TV property shows playing in the background.

There are two primary schools in Treuddyn (the adopted Welsh spelling): Ysgol Terrig, which is a Welsh medium school and Ysgol Parc y Llan, which is an English medium school. The closest secondary schools are Ysgol Maes Garmon (Welsh) and Alun School (English), both of which are in Mold, Flintshire, some four and a half miles away.

Workington AFC were the third team to be managed by the great Bill Shankly, in the 1954 - 1955 season. He started his management career, however, at Carlisle United between 1949 and 1951.
