The several "...zoy" villages near Bridgwater, including the above one, would appear to crop up quite often in this game. The only thing which comes to my mind concerning them, seems always to be: their having been the epicentre of the disastrous rebellion in 1685, led by James Scott, Duke of Monmouth (1649 -- 85); who hoped to replace his uncle James II, as King. The Duke (who comes across per what I've read, as a complete waste of space) was Charles II's (probably) eldest illegitimate son, by one of his many mistresses: Lucy Walter. The lady concerned, was born at Roch Castle near Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire.

Fretherne in Gloucestershire was also once administered by the Upper Division of the Hundred of Whitstone.

 

[Calthrop]

Also located in the, from the map, rather peninsular-appearing feature created by a large meander of the widening River Severn: is, a mile or so west of Fretherne, the larger and with-considerably-more-to-say-about-it village of Arlingham, Gloucestershire.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Llanidloes in Powys also lies on the route of the long-distance footpath known as the Severn Way.

 

[Calthrop]

Wiki says of Llanidloes, with magnificent condescension: "Llanidloes has a reputation as a very 'quirky' town, known for its liberal counterculture atmosphere. Llanidloes is known as a popular home for ageing hippies." Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire, has a similar image.
