Bovingdon in Hertfordshire, like Ford, has a prison adjacent to a former RAF airfield

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Warkworth in Northumberland also has a church that is dedicated to St Lawrence.

 

[Springs Branch]

Another settlement with a castle built above a loop in the local river is Durham.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Ripon also has a cathedral of great age.

Ripon (16,702) is the third smallest city on England by population. The smallest is the City of London (7,375) and the second smallest is Wells in Somerset with 10,536. (Note: these figures are at 2011)

 

[LUYMun]

Wells is on the southern edge of Mendip Hills, a place of natural beauty. Chew Stoke is on the northern edge.

 

[cjp]

Another in the Chew valley is Chew Magna

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Compton Dando also lies on the line of the River Chew.

The Chew joins the River Avon at Keynsham.
I admit to being old but whenever I hear of Keynsham I think of Horace Batchelor even if I cannot remember what he was selling on Radio Luxembourg

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Bisham in Berkshire also once had an abbey of the Augustinians Canons Regular.

 

[DerekC]

Bisham and Bosham in West Sussex both have a silent "h".

The aviator and test pilot Jeffrey Quill OBE AFC FRAeS was born on 1st February 1913 in Littlehampton. He passed away at his home in the village of [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andreas,_Isle_of_Man']Andreas, Isle of Man, on 20th February, 1996, and is buried in St Andrew's Churchyard, the church being near to the former fighter station RAF Andreas which operated Spitfires from 1941 to 1942.

Llanaelhaearn in Gwynedd is also a settlement situated on a land peninsula.

 

[cjp]

Porthmadog, also in Gwynedd has a long sea wall known as the Cob on which there is a road, and narrow gauge railway.

 

[DerekC]

Porthmadog and Tremadog share the "madog" part of their names but it is not clear whether this after Madoc ap Owen Gwynedd, a Welsh prince who is said to have sailed to America in about 1170, or (more prosaically but more likely) William Madocks, an English agricultural improver who built the cob mentioned in the previous post.

 

[johnnychips]

Nant Peris also has many classic rock climbing routes in Snowdonia.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Capel Curig also lies on the line of the A4086 road.

Allhallows in Kent, like Laleham, is a village beside the River Thames

 

[Peter Kelford]

Halesowen, as both names are associated with a certain ghost festival.

Halesowen and Selly Oak used to be linked by the Dudley No2 Canal, passing through the nearly 2-mile log Lapal Tunnel.

 

[johnnychips]

There is a Goose pub in Selly Oak, but there is a Goose Green cafe in Baslow.

 

[cjp]

The River Darwent on which Baslow lies also goes by Derby
