Settlement Association

[Welshman]

Thank you.

Deerhurst is on the River Severn, whose source is on Plynlimon, Blaenrheidol.

Tremeirchion in Denbighshire is another Welsh settlement to have Grade II listed mining industry buildings.

 

[Welshman]

The Jesuit Priest and Poet Gerard Manley Hopkins studied at St Beuno's near Tremeirchion.

He had previously become a novice member of the Society of Jesus at Manresa House, Roehampton.

Tooting is another area that was once administered by the ancient Hundred of Brixton.

Bignor

is also on the line of the old Stane St.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Hemel Hempstead also had the remains of a Roman villa unearthed within its environs.

 

[cjp]

Wilstone is also on the Grand Union Canal. (The Aylesbury Arm to be accurate.)

 

[High Dyke]

Knipton also has a reservoir.

Knapton, a village in Norfolk, has a lot in common with Knipton (everything except the first vowel)

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Ashmanhaugh also has a Grade I listed church

 

[cjp]

St Mary's church at Norwood Green also has a tower

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Richmond (the one in the London area) also has a Grade II listed public house.

 

[cjp]

Like Richmond on Thames there is a Walton on Thames and like Richmond there is another Walton, this one is found in Essex and is Walton on-the-Naze

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Widnes is another settlement whose name reflects its position on a passing waterline.

 

[cjp]

And on the other side of the Mersey from Widnes is Runcorn

 

[High Dyke]

Middlesbrough is also an industrial town with a notable bridge spanning its river.

Captain James Cook was born in Marton - now a suburb of Middlesbrough

 

[High Dyke]

Captain Cook landed, in Australia, at a place now known as the Kurnell Peninsula. Cook originally christened the area as "Stingray Bay", but he later crossed it out and named it Botany Bay.

Botany Bay is also the name of a small hamlet in south Derbyshire which, despite the maritime reference in the hamlet’s name, the Ordnance Survey have calculated is the furthest point from the English coastline. The low water line at Fosdyke, on the edge of The Wash in Lincolnshire, being around 70 miles (113 kilometres) away.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Melbourne in Derbyshire was also once administered by the Hundred of Repton and Gresley.

 

[cjp]

Continuing the Oz theme . . .
Swansea, like Melbourne is also the name of a place in Australia

Matlock Bath is also a renowned place for kayaking in the adjacent river.

 

[High Dyke]

Whitfield is also known as Little Switzerland.

 

[Welshman]

I'm assuming that epiphet is applied to Whitfield, Northumberland.

I can't see it being applied to Whitfield, Gloucestershire.

 

[cjp]

There is also a Pool Farm at St. Brides Major in The Vale of Glamorgan

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]
