Chesterton, Warwickshire also has a tower mill.

A tower mill is a type of vertical windmill consisting of a brick or stone tower, on which sits a wooden 'cap' or roof, which can rotate to bring the sails into the wind.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Hartington in Derbyshire also has a church that is dedicated to St Giles.

 

[High Dyke]

Long Clawson, Leicestershire is also associated with cheese making.

The creamery in Hartington village, often called the cheese factory, was founded by the Duke of Devonshire in the 1870s; it was one of the three sources of Stilton. The factory was closed in 2009 after being sold by Dairy Crest to the Long Clawson Dairy Company

Hethersett in Norfolk also has a church that is dedicated to St Remigius.

 

[High Dyke]

Redmile, Leicestershire was also the site of a fuel storage depot. This was part of the Government Pipelines and Storage System (GPSS) network.

Usselby in Leicestershire was also once under the jurisdiction of the Grantham Poor Law Union.

 

[John Griffiths]

The Darras Hall estate in Ponteland, Northumberland, was also the location of a WWII POW camp.

Matfen in Northumberland also lies on the line of the River Pont.

 

[Calthrop]

Lorna Hill (1902 -- 91) -- prolific author of (loosely) "fiction" books for children, plus other writings -- was the wife of the rector of Matfen. Had never before "just now", heard of Lorna Hill -- am sure some of her "product" was good stuff; however, a -- roughly -- contemporary of hers in "line of country", (and also essentially north-of-England), better known for same: was Alison Uttley (1884 -- 1976), perhaps most renowned as the creator of Little Grey Rabbit and other talking-animal characters -- Uttley was born in Cromford, Derbyshire.

Fenny Bentley in Derbyshire was also once administered by the Hundred of Wirksworth.

 

[Calthrop]

Getting a bit frantic, and Googling for inspiration: Fenny Bentley's local magnates were for long, the Beresfords -- "a prolific family", per Wiki. Buried in Fenny Bentley's church, are Sir Thomas Beresford, died 1473; and his wife Agnes, and their 21 children (rather her than me). Googling "Beresford" for some -- whatever -- connection: I could come upon only endless references to the prestigious Beresford Hotel in Dublin.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Blessington in County Wicklow also lies on the line of the River Liffey.

 

[Calthrop]

Born at Blessington, was Dame Ninette de Valois: dancer, teacher, choreographer and director of classical ballet. Her life-dates, 1898 -- 2001, make her one of decidedly few people with life-spans covering three successive chronological centuries. Another such -- admitting the sometimes vexed claim that the **00 year is the last of the preceding century, not the first of the following one -- was the mother of our late Queen, also Elizabeth: 1900 -- 2002; different accounts of her birthplace, one contender being Hitchin, Hertfordshire (where her birth was registered) -- near her Scottish noble parents' country house in England.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

St Ippollitts in Hertfordshire was also once under the jurisdiction of the Hitchin Poor Law Union.

 

[Calthrop]

The renowned theologian Fenton John Anthony Hort, 1828 -- 92 (never heard of by me, till Googling a couple of minutes ago -- but this stuff is not an avocation of mine) was vicar of St. Ippollitts for some fifteen years. Hort was a pupil at the Public School of Rugby, Warwickshire.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Offchurch in Warwickshire was also once administered by the Hundred of Knightlow.

 

[High Dyke]

The Church of St Laurence in Corringham, Lincolnshire also contains a stone coffin. Nothing much is known of this one either.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Pilham in Lincolnshire was also once administered by the Corringham Wapentake.

 

[John Griffiths]

Stagecoach bus route 61 links Pilham with Trent Vale Academy, passing en route through the Lincolnshire village of East Ferry.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Salt in Staffordshire also lies on the line of the River Trent.

 

[Calthrop]

Salt lies less than a mile to the north of the Civil War battlefield of Hopton Heath (1643 -- Royalist victory). Shropshire holds a different Hopton Heath: the tiny hamlet of that name, seemingly never the scene of a military engagement big enough to make it into the "chronicles". The Shropshire Hopton Heath is located between Craven Arms and Knighton (and has a station on the Heart of Wales line).

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Bucknell in Shropshire also lies on the route of the B4367 road.

 

[Tetragon213]

Chatham also shares its name with a university in Pennsylvania.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Walsham le Willows in Suffolk also has a Congregational Church.

 

[High Dyke]

Mulbarton Wanderers Football Club is a football club based in Mulbarton, Norfolk. The men's first team are also currently members in the Eastern Counties League.

 

[Calthrop]

Almer, Dorset -- between Blandford Forum and Wareham -- also has a pub called The World's End.

 

[High Dyke]

 Chawton, Hampshire is also on the route of the A31 road.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

West Worldham in Hampshire was also once administered by the Hundred of Alton.

 

[Calthrop]

Deeping St.Nicholas in Lincolnshire (between Spalding and Market Deeping) also has a church dedicated to -- surprise, surprise -- St. Nicholas.
