LINCOLN, the historic cathedral city, ultimately gave its name to the fictional Lincoln International Airport from Airplane! "Don't call me Shirley," is part of one of the best jokes in the movie. Surely, you've heard it?

The horticulturalist and plant-Hunter E H Wilson (1876-1930), who introduced around 2000 plant species, largely from China, to the UK, spent much of his early life in Shirley but was born in Chipping Campden.

Herringfleet lies on the River Waveney within The Broads National Park. From its source, the river forms the southern boundary of Bressingham and Roydon before it reaches Diss.

The mid-19th-century St Paul's Church, Honiton, was designed by Charles Fowler and is situated in the centre of the town. Charles Fowler was also responsible for St Andrew's Church at Charmouth, Dorset in 1836.

Many of the buildings in Sandbach, including St John the Evangelist Church, were designed by the architect Sir George Gilbert Scott, who was born in Gawcott, Buckinghamshire, in 1811.
