Birstall in Leicestershire is also in a rhyme/children's verse with a Mountsorrel (though admittedly a different one from Mount Sorrel in Wiltshire).

Newport Pagnell was once the residence of John Percy Farrar, the famous Alpinist mountaineer: he was born in Chatteris (where there certainly aren't many mountains).

St Leonards is the location of a flat owned by psychogeographic author Iain Sinclair, whose main house is in Haggerston.

I didn't realise there was a Kerry in the UK, but there is, in Wales.

Mottram-in-Longdendale also has a church dedicated to St Michael and All Angels.
