Settlement Association

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Methwold in Norfolk was also once under the jurisdiction of the Thetford Poor Law Union.

 

[Tetragon213]

Enham Alamein is also the site of a St George's Church

 

[Calthrop]

Bethlehem, Carmarthenshire -- between Llandeilo and Llangadog -- is another settlement which could be described as "named in whole or in part, after somewhere around the far end of the Mediterranean".

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Bodfari in Denbighshire also has the site of an Iron Age hill fort within its environs.

 

[John Griffiths]

Chirbury in Shropshire also lies on the Offa's Dyke National Trail.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

The River Camlad flows through the parish of Chirbury, first to the east and then to the north of the village, on its way from Church Stoke (also known as Churchstoke) (in the south) to its confluence with the River Severn (in the northwest).

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

North Walsham in Norfolk also has a church that is dedicated to St Nicholas.

 

[Calthrop]

North Walsham has a South Walsham, also in Norfolk, "to go with it" -- though "South" is some distance away from "North": about a dozen miles south-west thereof; and with a Norfolk Broad bearing its name.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Fishley in Norfolk was also once under the jurisdiction of the Blofield Poor Law Union.

 

[D6130]

Troutbeck in Cumberland is also named after an acquatic creature.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Marchwiel in Wrexham County Borough also has a National Trust property within its administered environs.

 

[Calthrop]

Denbigh also has a church dedicated to St. Marcella.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Beaumaris in Anglesey also has a ruined castle.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Beaumaris Castle was declared part of The Castles and Town Walls of King Edward in Gwynedd World Heritage Site in 1986. It includes the castles of Beaumaris and Harlech and the castles and town walls of Caernarfon and Conwy.

 

[Calthrop]

The author Philip Pullman -- most renowned for the His Dark Materials fantasy trilogy -- attended secondary school in Harlech. I learn that this gentleman, in his "spare time" from writing, is -- and has been lifelong -- a keen fan of Norwich City football club.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Sculthorpe in Norfolk also lies on the line of the River Wensum.

 

[Calthrop]

Sculthorpe has a pub called the Sculthorpe Aviator. Along those general lines -- Mawgan Porth, Cornwall -- near Newquay -- has a pub called the Flying Machine.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Cadgwith in Cornwall also lies on the route of the South West Coast Path national trail.

 

[John Griffiths]

Babingley in Norfolk also has a 'tin tabernacle' prefabricated iron church still in use.

 

[Calthrop]

Per old-time lore, Babingley is the spot where St. Felix of Burgundy, the Apostle to the East Angles, landed in that region in AD 615. We learn: "A legend claims that Felix was shipwrecked on the River Babingley -- leading from B., to the Wash -- but a colony of beavers [then a resident British wildlife species] saved him from drowning. So in gratitude, St. Felix consecrated the chief beaver as a bishop. The village sign records the legend, showing a beaver with a bishop's mitre, ministering to other beavers." Marvellously mad, but delightful. Association here, with another saintly luminary from those centuries: St. Cuthbert, who in his time as a hermit on the Farne Islands, interacted affectionately and to mutual benefit; with otters, and eider ducks. (So much for glum and rigorous Christians who maintain that "the brute creation" is of no consequence, and should be ignored -- only humans matter.)

Probably one of the nearest to the Farnes, churches dedicated to St. Cuthbert: is that of Blyth, Northumberland.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Earsdon in Tyne and Wear was also once under the jurisdiction of the Tynemouth Poor Law Union.

 

[Calthrop]

There is a pub near Earsdon, called the Beehive Inn. There is a hostelry of the same name in Reigate, Surrey.

 

[High Dyke]

Oxenden is also the site of a pedestrian tunnel repurposed from another form of transport

 

[91130nut]

Kelmarsh village features a C of E church named St. Denys

 

[Tetragon213]

Market Harborough is also on the A508
Edit: Thanks to D6130. Looks like autocorrect was a bit overzealous on the corrections. As for the 508/5808 I have no explanation!

 

[D6130]

Market Borough is also on the A5808

Should that be Market Harborough is also on the A508?

 

[Tetragon213]

Should that be Market Harborough is also on the A508?

Yes, see edits

 

[High Dyke]

Carrying on from Market Harborough, in the previous posts.  Ripon was another place that was on the route of the Jarrow March in 1936.

 

[Calthrop]

Ripon is twinned with Foix, in the French departement of Ariege. For a "counterpart", having to go to the neighbouring departement of Pyrenees Orientales; and the city of Perpignan therein, which is twinned with Lancaster.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Salford also has a Roman Catholic cathedral.
