Find the Lincolnshire place names ending in 'by'.
Example: Trawlermen would be happy here - FULNETBY.

I've done fairly well with this local quiz, but I'm stumped by the following few. Can anyone come up with anything?
4. Was a war fought here? (5)
15. Ouch! (7)
28. Hide behind the curtains (6)
35. A place of Wisdom?(8)
39. The granaries are full (8)
46. Woldby, Marshby, ? (5)

Thanks in advance.

35 Could be Normanby ( Hall.)....near S+++thorpe ..I zapped out some letters before the techies do it !
Question Author
Thanks for that, shaneystar2. That's a good one, and I would never have come up with that. I was thinking along completely different lines.

39 Grainsby ?
Question Author
Hmmm, not sure.
That was a long shot I must admit !
I was thinking along the lines of grain ..which is stored in a granary. Although I think there is a Grainsby in Lincs.
Question Author
There is indeed a Grainsby in Lincs, but it just doesn't seem to fit in with the granaries being full, if you know what I mean.
Have another think. I've been through my road atlas until I'm blue in the face, but can't come up with these last few. I suppose I need an Ordnance Survey map really, but I haven't got one.

Is this link any help
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_places_in _Lincolnshire

I know lots of places in Lincs but these seem very obscure ! Good luck anyway Jenny.
I've been wading through this list, but gave up after a while .. there are so many places with the .. by suffix !
good luck and sorry not to have found missing answers ;0)
