English Village Names Challenge

[choux]

I googled the actor Denis Lill today and his Wiki page shows he lives in the charming, small village of Ryme Intrinsica in Dorset. That encouraged me to look further and I found other villages called Whitchurch Canonicorum and Toller Porcorum.

There is a list of them and I was amused to see that, alphabetically, Beer Hackett is followed by Belchalwell! The 12 Winterborne somethings must cover quite an area and that excludes 2 Wnterbournes...

I cannot recall seeing such quaint names before. Does anyone know of equally rich counties?

Not that far from me is Stanley Pontlarge

Wonder how the whales get to Blubberhouses in North Yorkshire?

Foul Anchor is near us.

About 10 miles from Burnley, on the wrong side of the Lancashire/Yorkshire border, is a village by the name of Mytholmroyd. I first heard of it when i worked at a wholesale chemist and i remember my first thought being, "That sounds like something you'd visit the doctor for." :-)

Bet you could get a cream for that, Ken. Balmy innit.

[Ken4155]

Mytholmroyd is actually in the Luddendenfoot ward (Calder Vale). Something else you could probably get cream for :-)

Apparently, some parishes had no concerns of the cost of signwriting ;)

We twang in Yorkshire takes some beating. Although we also have Crackpot, Giggleswick, Booze, Land of Nod, & Netherthong.

[Zacs-Master]

Moorea, near Anthill, per chance?

Lol at your replies, I was looking for "quaint" names, you bowsies :)))

[Moorea7]

Barton in the Beans in Leics

Matching Tye in Essex

[ducksie]

scratchy bottom's probably near Sandy Balls ;)

[Ken4155]

You want 'quaint'. You can't handle quaint!:-)

How about Clovelly in Devon.

[Ken4155]

Or Tiddleywink near Chippenham. Apparently it's a hamlet consisting of just 8 cottages!
