Alford in Lincolnshire also has a five-sail windmill.

There is another Alford, in Scotland (Aberdeenshire) -- windmill-status seemingly not known.

Manchester also has a transport museum.

Crumpsall in Greater Manchester also lies on the line of the River Irk.

The Co-operative Wholesale Society also had a biscuit works at Splott, in Cardiff. It is pleasing that such desirable articles as biscuits were made in such euphonious locations.

Bronant in Ceredigion is another settlement in which a Calvinistic Methodist chapel was constructed.

Calthrop · Tuesday at 18:37

Trefriw, Conwy County Borough, also lies on the Sarn Helen Roman-road route.

Xenophon PCDGS · Tuesday at 20:05

Tregwynt in Pembrokeshire also has a noted woollen mill.

High Dyke · Tuesday at 23:16

Crondall, Hampshire was another location where a hoard of coins and other artefacts were found.

Dippenhall in Surrey was also once administered by the Hundred of Crondall.

Tetragon213 · Wednesday at 08:54

The main road through Dippenhall spits you out at Farnham

Calthrop · Wednesday at 09:23

National Cycle Route 22 passes also through Brockenhurst, Hampshire (having "crossed the water" twice, to the Isle of Wight and back to the mainland).

Exbury in Hampshire was also once administered by the Hundred of New Forest.

Calthrop · Wednesday at 10:25

We learn that until 1863, Exbury was a chapelry in the parish of nearby Fawley, Hampshire. (One of these days, I must get the detailed "gen" from one of this game's ecclesiastical experts, as to what a chapelry actually is.)

INFORMATION

A chapelry was similar to a township settlement, but was named as such as it had a chapel-of-ease to the larger settlement in the area, in which the local residents used as their local place of worship.

Calthrop · Wednesday at 11:51

Thank you ! I did know about chapels-of-ease (is it altogether too irreverent, to mention that my schoolboy sense of humour has had me deliberately mis-construing that expression?).

Buxton in Derbyshire also has a church that is dedicated to St Mary the Virgin.

D6130 · Wednesday at 12:26

Harrogate in North Yorkshire is also a spa town situated at a comparatively high altitude.

High Dyke · Wednesday at 12:37

Neroche Forest near Taunton in Somerset was also the location of a Royal forest.

Xenophon PCDGS · Wednesday at 13:30

Huntworth in Somerset also was once served by the Bridgewater and Taunton Canal.

Calthrop · Wednesday at 18:42

There is close by Huntworth, a local nature reserve (good for birds) called Screech Owl. Near Stonehaven, Aberdeenshire, there is a nature reserve (extremely good for birds) also with a bird-related name, though less specifically so: Fowlsheugh.

Chapelton in Aberdeenshire also lies on the route of the ancient drovers road and footpath known as Causey Mounth.

Calthrop · Thursday at 09:21

Have to own self slightly puzzled here; Chapelton seems to be a popular Scottish place-name -- several of them in various parts of Scotland: the only Aberdeenshire one I can find, is a new development just south of Aberdeen -- but there's another of the Chapeltons, near Arbroath... However, my solution is to desert Scotland, in favour of what seems to be England's only Chapelton: in Devon, half a dozen miles south of Barnstaple.

Sampford Spiney in Devon was also once under the jurisdiction of the Tavistock Poor Law Union.

John Griffiths · Thursday at 11:20

The 'Sampford' bit of the name Sampford Spiney was given in Domesday as 'Sandford', a sandy ford. There are quite a few Sandyfords around, including a district of Newcastle upon Tyne, and also a Sandyford near Tunstall in the city of Stoke on Trent.

Xenophon PCDGS · Thursday at 14:18

Adbaston in Staffordshire was also once administered by the Hundred of Pirehill.

Calthrop · Thursday at 15:51

Garton on the Wolds, East Riding of Yorkshire -- just west of Driffield -- also has a church dedicated to St. Michael and All Angels.

Possibly the most famous hundreds are the Chiltern Hundreds where sitting MPs have to apply to in order to resign as an MP. By some long ago statute, members of the Chiltern Hundreds are not allowed to be MPs and MPs are not allowed to resign as such. Typical of the arcane rules of the British Constitution.

Happy to bow to superior knowledge if I am mistaken. I do not believe the Chiltern Hundreds to be a physical settlement (e.g. where people live)?

Just checked Wikipedia and you are correct. I did A level British Constitution ( a long while ago) and did not realise that. My first post on this quiz topic and cocked it up. Will try and get it right next time.

Trying again from the previous post to mine:

Coventry Cathedral is also the Cathedral Church of Saint Michael.
