Thankyou macsmith. i'm afraid whitby has six letters and I only want 5 for the convocation and I've not found a coastal town called synod. Any help is appreciated.

1. ? Perth .. I think there was a synod there.

Many thanks. If you can still think about the others I need the help; I've gone round the coast 100 times now and I'm feeling brain dead
