The Bardsey Apple is only grown on Bardsey Island in Gwynedd.

If this one isn't accepted, my alternative is that Tintern Cheese is named after the village of Tintern in Monmouthshire.

I am having some difficulty in finding an association to Surbiton in either of your two options.

I am having some difficulty in finding an association to Surbiton in either of your two options.

That's because there isn't one!

I was following on from Bakewell, but you beat me to the punch with Surbiton - see the same time. So, how about this:

In 1972, an episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus featured a mock documentary which investigated whether the residents of Hounslow, another London area suburb, had long ago been descendants of the people of Surbiton "who had made the great trek north".

Thanks for your clarification.

Prestwood in Buckinghamshire also has a church that is dedicated to the Holy Trinity.

I was thinking EbbwJunction1 was going to say that the Bardsey Apple and Tintern Cheese had been exhibited at the Surbiton Food Festival!

When I saw 'Prest...' I thought it was going to be your home village, Paul, but so as not to disappoint you:

The Countess of Macclesfield opened Prestwood Village Hall in 1928.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

The village of Gawsworth was also once in the ancient Hundred of Hamestan, but later became part of the Hundred of Macclesfield.

Carlisle also has a St James' Church.

Musselburgh in East Lothian also has a racecourse that hosts both flat and National Hunt horseracing.

Ruswarp, near Whitby, is also a place on a River Esk.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Wilmslow also has a church that is dedicated to St Bartholomew.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Mottram St. Andrew is also located within the area known as the Cheshire Golden Triangle.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

I see that you have traced my neighbouring settlement....

Lymm in another settlement in Cheshire East that has a sandstone village cross.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

The civil parish of Lymm incorporates the hamlet of Reddish - the one in Cheshire, not the one in Greater Manchester.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Outrington also was another hamlet that was once administered by the ancient Hundred of Bucklow.
