English Village Names Challenge
36 Answers
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?
