- By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-06-19. Revised by … County description The Historic Counties Trust describes Oxfordshire as follows: Oxfordshire lies alomg the River Thames, and stretches northward into the Cotswold Hills. It is mainly known for the City of Oxford, but there is far more to the county. Oxford is the seat of the oldest university in Britain, and one of the most prestigious in the world. Oxford has a wealth of ancient colleges and university buidlings with beautiful buildings which define and shape the town. At Oxford the Cherwell meets the Thames. Down by where the rivers meet are meadows belonging, like much of the city, to the colleges. The cathedral is by the meadows too, rather overlooked. Oxford though also has another side as a manufacturing town, centered in Cowley. The Thames forms the whole of Oxfordshire's southern border, stretching for about 70 miles. The south of Oxfordshire is in the middle and upper reaches of the Thames Valley. At Kelmscot, at …4 KB (630 words) - 05:06, 27 May 2022
- By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-08-07. Revised by … Introduction Gover, Mawer and Stenton note in the English Place-Name Society's volume on Nottinghamshire that [a]s might be expected in the county of Nottingham references to the Robin Hood story are frequent but none of the names is recorded except in modern maps and documents. We may note Robin Hood's Cave, Chair, Grave, Hill, Stable and Well, Robin Hood Close, Farm and Meadow, Robin Hood Close and Little John, all from the Sherwood and neighbouring districts. Gover, John Eric Bruce 1940a, p. 294. While It is true that most Robin Hood-related place-names in Nottinghamshire are only recorded relatively late, two such name, Robin Hood's Well and Robin Hood's Close were in fact in use already in the early Tudor period. A systematic search for relevant field names in all Nottinghamshire tithe awards Online at The Genealogist (£). was completed on 3 Oct. 2020.

- By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-06-19. Revised by … County description The Historic Counties Trust describes Middlesex as follows: Middlesex is the smallest English county after Rutland but the most populous in Britain. Middlesex is certainly the most urban county, being almost wholly covered by London and its outgrowths. Middlesex has been called "the Capital County" as the home of the capital city (whether you think that is London or Westminster). Unbroken townscape stretches from one side of the county to the other. This does however just link town to town without always erasing the distinctiveness of each Middlesex town and village. Most distinctive are the City of London and the City of Westminster adjoining it, the former housing the financial institutions of the kingdom and the latter its social, cultural and political institutions, and of course the top shops. The City of London is unique in being governed mainly by the business community which are, after all, its …4 KB (626 words) - 05:06, 27 May 2022
- By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-06-19. Revised by … County description The Historic Counties Trust describes Lincolnshire as follows: Lincolnshire is a large county; in England the biggest after Yorkshire. It is divided into the three parts; Holland (the southwest), Kesteven (the southeast) and Lindsey (the north). The county lies along the North Sea coast and extends from the Humber estuary in the north to Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire in the south. The North Sea coast runs into the sea with long tidal mudflats and sandy beaches for its whole length, so that the tide may run out a mile from where the map shows. The southern end of the county's coast is part of the Wash. Lincolnshire is mainly flat with a great deal of drained fenland particularly in the south of the county. There is one remarkable range of hills; the Lincoln Edge, a narrow ridge which runs in a straight line almost due north for some forty miles, through Lincoln and on, though "the Heights" as it is …4 KB (577 words) - 05:06, 27 May 2022
- By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-07-26. Revised by … County description The Historic Counties Trust describes Essex as follows: Essex is full of contrast. The southwest of the county (including Romford, Dagenham, Woodford, Leyton, West Ham) lies within the London conurbation, and the heavy industry which serves it, particularly on the lower Thames reaches. Along the Thames estuary new towns and modern housing developemtns have spread and are still spreading irresistably to produce almost a continuous line of occupation from London to Southend, linked with motorways and arterial roads. However beyond this urban zone Essex retains scenic countryside and charming villages. Epping Forest, though close to the London spread, has remained largely unspoiled. The Essex coast, ragged, indented by river estuaries (the Colne, the Blackwater, the Crouch) and full of tidal marshes, with low islands off the coast, is ever changing, losing land to the North Sea or gaining it. Indeed Essex is …4 KB (493 words) - 05:06, 27 May 2022
- By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-07-16. Revised by … County description The Historic Counties Trust describes Derbyshire as follows: Derbyshire has four distinct areas but all together creating the whole. Much of southern Derbyshire lies in the green Trent Valley. Derby itself, a cathedral city, is a major midland industrial town, currently trying to diversify. The Derwent runs through the eastern edge of Derby, southward towards the Trent. From the northern edge of Derby the hills begin to rise at once and the rolling hills of the Derbyshire Dales begin. This area is an in between land, for beyond the farms of the hills and dales, the land becomes rougher and the hills become the high, dramatic moors of Peak District, an area of glorious scenery. The mountains in the High Peak, take up the whole northwest of the county. The Pennine Way begins at Edale in the Peak District, drawing hikers in their hundreds each week. The rest of the Peak District should not be neglected …4 KB (507 words) - 05:06, 27 May 2022
- By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-06-19. Revised by … County description The Historic Counties Trust describes Buckinghamshire as follows: A distinctively shaped inland county. The delightful Chiltern Hills, sweeping through the south of the county, give the shire much of its character; with beech woods in the west, rising to higher, more windswept landscape around Ivinghoe Beacon, and all full of pretty villages of flint and thatch. It provides fine walking country. The more gentle, pastoral Vale of Aylesbury lies north of the Chilterns. Buckinghamshire's short southern border is the River Thames, which above Slough is considered the finest stretch of that river. In the north of the county, along the Great Ouse, Milton Keynes spreads across the landscape; an ambitious, planned New Town of the 1970's, in sharp contrast to Buckingham to the west, an ancient and very picturesque town. Main Towns: Aylesbury, Beaconsfiled, Buckingham, Chalfont St Giles, Eton, High Wycombe, …3 KB (425 words) - 05:06, 27 May 2022
- By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-07-08. Revised by … County description The Historic Counties Trust describes Cambridgeshire as follows: Cambridgeshire is a flat county, inland but with tidal rivers deep inland. The Gogmagog Hills are the highest features in the county (though the highest point lies near the south-east border at Camps Castle) but beneath them the Cambridgeshire landscape is generally low-lying, much of it drained fens (and still called fenland) and in some areas is at sea level or below. The northern part of Cambridgeshire is known as "The Isle of Ely", which is remarkable for its flatness and its fertile soil. The main town is the university city of Cambridge. The University of Cambridge is the oldest in Britain after Oxford, and with Oxford is the foremost. Its beautiful old colleges sit on mediæval streets and their delightful "backs", look out on the banks of the River Cam. In latter years Cambridge has attracted the computer industry and biotechnology …4 KB (541 words) - 05:06, 27 May 2022
- By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-06-19. Revised by … County description The Historic Counties Trust describes Hertfordshire as follows: Hertfordshire, particularly southern Hertfordshire, is much affected by its closeness to the Metroplitan conurbation, sprouting ubiquitous red brick housing developments and hostile trunk roads. Despite that though much of the county has remained rural and unspoilt. The west of Hertfordshire rises into the edge of the Chilterns, with its typical small villages and beechwoods. From the Colne Valley's birch and blackthorn woodlands to the mixed farmlands of the bulk of the county are networks of footpaths for all to enjoy. The county's most charming town is the city of St Albans. It stands on a hill overseen by St Albans Abbey, a very large and distinctive church, and a cathedral since 1877. St Albans has the important Roman remains of the city of Verulamium. Hertford, the county town, combines the old market town with a busy modern outer town. …3 KB (419 words) - 05:06, 27 May 2022
