Stapleford Cheshire should not be confused with Stapleford, Nottinghamshire

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Thurnscoe in South Yorkshire also has a church that is dedicated to St Helen.

 

[Tetragon213]

Fourlane Ends (Derbyshire) is also home to a Butcher's Arms.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Not to be confused with the hamlet of Four Lane Ends that is situated near Tiverton, Cheshire West and Chester.

 

[Calthrop]

Likewise, not to be confused with the better-known Tiverton, Devon -- sorry: low blow, but irresistible.

Trim, County Meath was also known as a rotten borough.

 

[Calthrop]

Trim, County Meath was also known as a rotten borough.

Likely connected with Trim's status as above: Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington (1769 -- 1852) -- military leader reckoned principally responsible for the defeat of Napoleonic France, and British politician; began his parliamentary career as MP for Trim in the Irish House of Commons. One must suspect that his attaining this post, would have been in rather dodgy circumstances... he died, aged 82, at Walmer in Kent.

Great Mongeham in Kent was also once administered by the ancient Hundred of Cornilo.

Great Mongeham in Kent was also once administered by the ancient Hundred of Cornilo.

Entries like this, by yourself: have me thinking, "He's got to be making this stuff up" (just kidding !)

Worle, Somerset -- close by Weston-Super-Mare -- also has a church dedicated to St. Martin.

If you (jokingly) think I make stuff up, this posting gives you a reason to consider....

Ystrad Einion in Ceredigion also has historical links to zinc mining.

 

[Tetragon213]

The post town to Ystrad Einion is Machynlleth

 

[John Griffiths]

A Welsh Parliament summoned by Owain Glyndwr sat at Machynlleth in 1404. Nowadays the Senedd Cymru sits at Cardiff.

Sheffield has also been a central plot location for multiple story arcs in the Dr Who-niverse

 

[High Dyke]

The Sheffield Shield is the domestic first-class cricket competition of Australia. It is named after Lord Sheffield.

Henry North Holroyd, 3rd Earl of Sheffield (18 January 1832 – 21 April 1909), styled Viscount Pevensey until 1876, was an English Conservative politician and patron of cricket.

He established a private cricket ground at Sheffield Park near Uckfield, Sussex,

 

[Calthrop]

Uckfield has a pub called the Maiden's Head; as does also -- with fine appropriateness -- Maidenhead, Berkshire.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Cricklade in Wiltshire also lies on the line of the River Thames.

 

[Tetragon213]

Andover's college was once named Cricklade College

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

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

 

[Tetragon213]

Upper Clatford and Goodworth Clatford form what is colloquially called "The Clatfords" in the area.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Penrhosgarnedd in Gwynedd also has a church that is dedicated to St Peter.

 

[johnnychips]

Whereas Penrhosgarnedd is home to Bangor’s major hospital, Stepping Hill is the location of Stockport’s.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Wymington in Bedfordshire also lies on the route of the A6 road.

 

[Calthrop]

Pertenhall, also in Bedfordshire -- six miles east of Wymington -- is also near its county's northern limits.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Little Staughton in Bedfordshire was also once administered by the Hundred of Stodden.

 

[Calthrop]

As a change from the recent villages on or near the northern periphery of Bedfordshire: Studham, three miles south of Dunstable, is at the far southern end of Bedfordshire; near the meeting-point of that county, and Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire.

 

[High Dyke]

Wressle in Lincolnshire was also the location of a Handley Page Halifax aircraft crash.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Carnforth in Lancashire also has a church that is dedicated to St John the Baptist.

 

[D6130]

Bolton-le-Sands in Lancashire also lies on the Lancaster Canal.

 

[Calthrop]

Bolton-le-Sands has a pub called the Packet Boat. Cowley, neighbouring to Uxbridge -- London Borough of Hillingdon -- has one called the Paddington Packet Boat.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Longford in the London Borough of Hillingdon also lies on the line of the River Colne.
