Where Was I? 20/1

[MWG14]

We do this every Sunday, have done for many years.

Is today’s puzzle more difficult than usual or is it just us freezing up on a very cold day?

[harvey]

Same here!
Have made no headway at all

[MWG14]

Glad to hear that we're not the only ones!

I have the silk merchant, town, the national walk, the landmark and the designer. What I don't have, is the name of the village two miles away from the landmark...

[MWG14]

You've done well.

[Etch]

I found this week's puzzle, as with last week's, quite difficult to "get into". The designer/writer born in Walthamstow was fairly easy to name but didn't really help. Finally managed to identify the moneylending silk merchant and the rest fell into place.

[Tilly2]

Does the village begin with a 'S', Etch?

[Etch]

I reckon so, Tilly. It seems to me that there was a subtle clue to the name of the film in something mentioned earlier in the puzzle.

[Tilly2]

Thank you, Etch.

Lovely village that, as is the town.

[Tilly2]

Ah! The diary.

Form now submitted. Thank you very much, Etch.

[harvey]

Managed the answer at last! Took me a while but I enjoyed getting there.

[Tilly2]

I was fed up reading about the Civil War...:-)

It wasn't difficult for me - I live just down the road, and was having coffee yesterday in the town! Actually, it's really a large village. Still don't like Newsom's puzzles, though

Glad it's not just me who found this really hard!
