St Monans in Fife also lies on the route of the long-distance footpath known as the Fife Coastal Path.

The harbour at St Monans was designed by the brothers David and Thomas Stevenson, part of the Stevenson dynasty of Scottish civil engineers mainly famous for their lighthouse designs. David lived for the latter part of his life at North Berwick, East Lothian which also happens to be directly opposite St Monans on the other side of the Firth of Forth.

"Dukinfield in Greater Manchester also has a church that is dedicated to St Michael and All Angels."
I think that the Church at Dukinfield is dedicated to St Mark? I am, however, willing to move on from Dukinfield as follows:
Dukinfield Old Chapel was constructed between 1840 and 1841 to the designs of Robert Tattersall, with the west front refaced by Thomas Worthington (1826 – 1909) in the early 1890s; it is a Grade II* listed building. Another of the latter's works can be seen at Flowery Field Church, Newton Street, Hyde.

I therefore will have to tell off a family friend who gave me false information recently. I will strike through the posting in question.
This is the last valid posting and where the thread should be continued.

There is only one road (Tippet Lane) leading to Meaux; to get there from the nearest A road (the A1035), you must leave that road at Routh and take a second minor road (Meaux Lane).

Hull is also mentioned in the chorus of the folk-song...."The Beggers Lament"
I know that as I sang it many times in my folk-singing days in the 1960's and 1970's...

Cautley is best known as the location of Cautley Spout, the highest above ground cascade waterfall in England. Another village in the Yorkshire Dales National Park renowned for its waterfall is Hardraw in North Yorkshire. Hardraw Force has the highest above ground fall in England, with the added attraction of being accessible through the garden of the Green Dragon pub.
