Answer 2

I stay close to a village called Spital-in-the-highway. How great is that?! :) yet if you consider which you asked for non-existent villages i'm going to objective and picture of a few names... (i think of they are non-existent, besides!) - decrease Ashdown - Little Wealding - Highston-over-Marsh - Blossomby (ok, it somewhat is corny and cliche, in spite of the undeniable fact that it in basic terms sounds so previous shaped!) - better Tarrow - Tinsbury - Brandly-upon- Sorry they are all slightly... balk-worth. it is problematical to come back up with a popularity that sounds incredibly 'authentic' without copying yet another! Plus, it relies upon on the area and it is geographical and historic detailing. (ie: became it based by utilising Vikings or Normans et cetera... and does it have water working by using it, is it in a marsh section?) authentic ones that i admire are: - Godmanchester - Grantchester - Spital-in-the-highway - Saffron Walden - Goxhill - Somersham - Buckden - wish - Bakewell - Upwood - Fryup (specific - there's a place called fry-up. Haha!) - center Spring - Bagpath - Nympsfield - Little Larkhill - Ladyswood and next to Ladyswood: Lordswood i think of that to make up a popularity for a village, your superb wager is to muddle up some authentic ones. as an occasion, in my novella i've got created slightly city called Grenyàc; I in basic terms took the initiating of Grenoble and added something that regarded somewhat French. :-) wish the story is going properly!
