The Gearagh (Irish: An Gaorthadh) near Macroom, County Cork, Ireland is also the location of a wetland of international importance under the Ramsar Convention.

During the Irish War of Independence, the IRA ambushed a British rations lorry just south of Ballyvourney on 18 July 1921, resulting in the deaths of two British soldiers, including James Airy.

James Airy was born in King's Norton, West Midlands.

Asgarby - the one on East Lindsey; Lincs has another one in Kesteven - had a church of St Swithin, demolished in 1986. Similarly the church of St Swithin, London Stone, in the City of London, was demolished in 1963, having been severely damaged by German aerial bombardment in 1940.
