Where Was I? August 10th

If possible, I would like a nudge in the right direction, just a clue, rather than the answer. I really enjoy struggling with the Where Was I? competition, but I have gone wrong somewhere!

I am stuck on clue 5 - a hamlet of 19 letters, birthplace in 1844 of a writer whose works include Fidelis.

And if I am right about the final clue, then I have a letter D which doesn't fit into what I think is the name of the river.

So if anyone is feeling generous and would like to give me just a teeny weeny little clue, I would be grateful!!

thanks

Thanks for that - really helpful.

It would also have been helpful if I had read the last clue properly - I took letters one and six instead of two and six, which is why I had an unwanted 'D' !!

Got it sorted now - thanks again.

I've solved the village and the river, but can't find the hamlet that "sounds like it holds down a chicken". If I'm right with the rest of the puzzle, the third letter should be U. Will send off my answers anyway, but out of curiosity would like to know the name of this hamlet if anyone would be kind enough to tell me.

The hamlet is Foul Anchor, about 3 miles SSE of Long Sutton.

Found it! It wasn't on the map I was using as it is quite a small place, but I have found it now on the OS Get-a-Map website - if anyone is interested the grid reference is TF465175.

It's not far from Tydd Gote. There are some weird and wonderful place names in that part of the world!

Thank you Etch and avis50 for satisfying my curiosity and providing grid ref. My map wasn't detailed enough to show Foul Anchor.

I am sure I have the answer to the river and hamlet, but can someone please help with clue 4. Again just a nudge if you would be so kind?

The prime minister is generally regarded as being the first to hold that title. The patron saint is more usually associated with a country closer to home. The hamlet that combines the 2 names lies due east from the hamlet of clue 3.
