Settlement Association

[High Dyke]

Dunstable, Bedfordshire also has a connection to the Dominican Order.

 

[Tetragon213]

A busway connects Dunstable to Luton

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Higham Gobion in Bedfordshire was also once administered by the Hundred of Flitt.

 

[Hamma52]

Briston, Norfolk, also falls under the East of England Ambulance's jurisdiction

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Potter Heigham in Norfolk also has a post-mounted illustrated village sign.

 

[Calthrop]

Also located on the River Thurne (or almost so) is -- sense-makingly enough -- the village of Thurne; this settlement is close by the point where the eponymous river joins the River Bure -- it is some two-to-three miles south-west of Potter Heigham.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Clippesby in Norfolk was also once administered by the Hundred of West Flegg.

 

[Calthrop]

Petersfield, Hampshire also has -- unsurprisingly enough -- a church dedicated to St. Peter.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Midhurst in West Sussex also lies on the line of the River Rother.

 

[D6130]

Titchfield in Hampshire also has a pub named The Wheatsheaf.

 

[Hamma52]

One of the ONS (Office of National Statistics)'s offices is at Titchfield. Their main base is in Newport, Gwent.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Rochdale in Greater Manchester also has a church that is dedicated to St Patrick,

 

[D6130]

Romsey in Hampshire also has a fire brigade museum.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Overton in Hampshire also lies on the line of the River Test.

 

[Tetragon213]

Andover also has a White Hart Inn

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Monxton in Hampshire was also once administered by the Hundred of Andover.

 

[Calthrop]

Pubs -- and "fauna and their colours" -- again (not a lot that I can find out about Monxton): said settlement used to have a pub (now closed) called the Back Swan. Swanage, Dorset, still has -- rather fittingly -- a hostelry of that name. (One is inclined to wonder: those who gave pubs this name -- did they have knowledge of Western Australia's bird-life, or was the name a product of their own fantasy?)

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Langton Maltravers in Dorset was also once administered by the Hundred of Rowbarrow.

 

[Calthrop]

Langton Maltravers in Dorset was also once administered by the Hundred of Rowbarrow.

Ian Fleming (1908 -- 64) attended a preparatory school at the above-bolded settlement (where, it seems, he had a miserable time). Fleming died in Canterbury (though he is buried at Sevenhampton, Wiltshire).

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

York also has an archbishop.

 

[High Dyke]

Langton Matravers sounds like the sort of old time actor that Chuffer Dandridge would be associated with.

York also has an archbishop.

Cowes, Isle of Wight was also damaged during the Baedeker Blitz in 1942.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Leigh-on-Sea in Essex also hosts a regatta.

 

[Calthrop]

Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, is another of the very many British settlements mentioned in one of John Betjeman's -- in many moods and "veins" -- poems.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Leeds also has a Sikh Gurdwara.

 

[D6130]

Malham in North Yorkshire also lies on the River Aire.

 

[Calthrop]

Alston in Westmorland and Furness also lies on the Pennine Way long-distance path.

 

[D6130]

Alston shares the title of 'highest market town in England' with Buxton in Derbyshire.

 

[Calthrop]

Norfolk also has a Buxton: a village a little way south-east of Aylsham. This Norfolk Buxton has close ties with the neighbouring village of Lamas; they share a "joint" parish. (Rail-related interest: the local station, on the Great Eastern's Wroxham -- County School branch, was called in passenger days, Buxton Lamas; it is now a halt on the Bure Valley 15in. gauge line, going by the name of just plain Buxton.)

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Shifnal in Shropshire also has a church that is dedicated to St Andrew.

 

[High Dyke]

Wennington, Greater London also suffered a devastating fire.
