10. The original Miss Marple actress was born here (8)

According to further clues, there should be one asnwer for each of the following areas: Wales, Kent, Leics, Shropshire, Durham, and Cumbria.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

11 Shrewsbury?

[Mamyalynne]

8 Has a very famous Cathedral

[Calibax]

8 Canterbury

[Calibax]

Oops, sorry Mamya

[Mamyalynne]

is ok

[Baldric]

9, LEICESTER

[Mamyalynne]

10 Looks wrong as Margaret Rutherford appears to be the first to play Marple in film and she was born in Balham.

There may be an earlier actress , not sure,

[Mamyalynne]

[TOMMO33]

Perhaps Maryport in the Lake District for 24

[TOMMO33]

By elimination, 10 must be in Durham.

[slaney]

Gracie Fields played Miss Marple on American TV in 1956 so Rochdale perhaps.

[TOMMO33]

Sadly, Rochdale isn't in Durham, but this supports what slaney has suggested.

[slaney]

Nope it isn't, but maybe Durham is not correct.
Was previously on AB as well...

Thank you so much, Calibax, Mamya, Baldric, Slaney & Tommo for your help. It is true that the Co Durham clue is the only one left over, but as far as I know no Miss Marple actress has been born in that county. Mamya, did your tip re the Co-op refer to this Marple one (you didn't add the clue no)?

[JandyAF]

I have looked up the Co-op clue of Mamya's, which was Rochdale, birthplace of Gracie Fields, so that must be the answer for no 10. Trouble is, I have already answered another clue with a Lancs town (there is supposed to be only one). The clue is: 17. British explorer Sir Henry Morton (1841-1904) (7 letters), for which I have put Stanley in Lancs. Does anyone know if there is another Stanley in the UK, hopefully in Durham?

[slaney]

Sorry mamya - didn't see your good clue above.

JandyAF, there is a Stanley in Durham..
