Замечу, что в предыдущих моих постах на эту тему, названия населенных пунктов были взяты из "Книги страшного суда", тогда как эти взяты из современных источников.
Впрочем, Готэм и Папплвик существуют до сих пор.

Грисли, Ноттингемшир.

"Greasley was once the largest parish in Nottingham, nowadays you could drive through it and not even realise that you had been there! It now consists of a rural area of scattered farmsteads and houses and seems insignificant to the passer-by. However, if you step out of your car and look closely at the area of Greasley it holds some fascinating secrets oozing with charm and character. It has become a haven for walkers and ramblers and here are a few reasons why: -
Beauvale Priory, founded by Nicholas de Cantilupe was the last Carthusian Monastry to be built in England and the first one to fall under Henry VIII's dissolution of the Monasteries. This privately owned site can be seen from the roadside along New Road which is a remote lane that runs through the area of Greasley.
Beauvale Manor Farm also New Road is thought to be the site of the courery to the Priory where the lay brothers lived and worked also known as a Grange. One of only three known to be in England.
Greasley Castle Farm. A fortified Manor House once owned by the local Lords Cantilupe, all that remains now are a few original walls and inset tracery etc, used as a farm and in private hands.
Lamb Close House. Current ancestral home of Lady and the late Lord Barber.
Beauvale House. Grade II listed building built in the Old English Revival Style by E.W. Godwin.
Robin Hoods Well, situated in High Park Woods.
Moorgreen Reservoir.
Haggs Farm, childhood haunt of D H Lawrence.
Felley Mill, the remains of an old Mill and millpond, frequented by D.H.Lawrence.
St Mary's Church at Greasley is situated next to the ancient castle site. Benjamin Drawater, Captain Cooks surgeon is buried there as are the Rolleston family of nearby Watnall Hall.

Linby
Линби, Ноттингемшир.
(находится не далеко от деревни Папплвик)

"Linby is a village of rural charm located just a few miles north of the bustling City of Nottingham.
It was once home to a thriving colliery between 1873 and 1988, although no evidence of it remains today other than the Linby Colliery football club and a discreet memorial in the form of a small monument noting its existence. The origins of the village itself go back much further - Linby is listed in the Doomsday book, and the date on one of the two village crosses is shown as 1663.
()
The church of St Michael's was originally built in the 1300s with later additions. It has examples of Norman architecture and a memorial inside dated 1557. On the opposite side of the main street can be found the Horse and Groom - an attractive public house and former coaching inn with several individual and quaint small rooms. It's a popular venue in the summer months with outdoor seating and brightly coloured hanging baskets. There is also a local heritage centre with limited opening nearby.
An unusual feature of the main street is that it is flanked on both sides by small streams known as the 'Linby Docks'. The nearby Linby Trail takes you on foot, or by bicycle as it forms part of the National Cycle route 6, to the neighbouring village of Newstead and Newstead Abbey the former home of Lord Byron".

Upper Langwith

"Upper Langwith or Langwith Bassett as it is also known is a rural area of dispersed farmsteads & individual houses that encompass an extremely pretty village with a village green which the landscaped River Poulter runs through.
The Jug & Glass, a seventeenth century Inn serves a selection of traditional foods daily and its array of outdoor seating overlooking the landscaped river & waterfall is truly beautiful. At this point the river is shallow and local children 'paddle' there in summer months.
A little further along the road is the Church of the Holy Cross which is in the early English style and stands plain yet imposing upon a hill. To the rear of the church is a site known locally as Bassett's Castle, named after the Bassett family who lived there during Medieval times and the site is noted as that of their ancient manor house.
Below this ridge, down in the river valley are the remains of an old mill which was situated on the River Poulter and on the opposite edge of the valley is Langwith Bassett Cave, a paleolithic cave where hyena, flint & Iron Age human remains have been found.
A truly magical place".

Эннсли (Аннисли) Annesley, Ноттингемшир.

Annesley old church

"The Church of All Saints, at Annesley, is a building of considerable interest, though no part of it is of any very great antiquity. It is likely enough that there was originally a wooden church here, and that this lasted on until well into the 13th century. To this earlier church would belong the font which we still see here, which is of 12th century date and good design. The cylindrical bowl has a border of the “sunk-star” ornament, and below this a bold and effective decoration composed of broad interlacing bands. The remains of iron fastenings for the lock and cover are curious. The bowl now rests immediately on a circular plinth, but probably had once a short cylindrical pillar supporting it.

No part of the existing building is older than the arcade dividing the nave from the side aisle. The easternmost respond has the “nail-head” ornament: and though in the County of Notts this ornament continued in use during the greater part of the 13th century, this arcade must no doubt be assigned to a date earlier than A.D. 1300. Some of the mouldings of the capital of the respond in question have been cut off flat on the west face, when the screen for the chantry chapel was set up. I think it quite probable that the chancel arch is of the same date as the arcade, and also the north wall of the nave, and even the eastern and westernmost of the three square-headed windows in that wall, in spite of their exceedingly plain character. If this be so, we conclude that the earliest stone church here included nave, chancel, and south aisle,—the latter in all probability much narrower than the chapel which has replaced it Why the side-aisle was not built the whole length of the nave I am unable to conjecture ()".

Басфорд (Basford), Ноттингемшир.
"английский город в графстве Ноттингам, 23 тыс. жителей; кружевн. и чулочн. произв. ".
Малый энциклопедический словарь Брокгауза и Ефрона.

"Basford is a suburb in northern Nottingham.
Basford parish was absorbed into Nottingham in 1877. It gave its name to the Basford Rural District which existed from 1894 to 1974.
There is both an ‘Old Basford’ and a ‘New Basford’ although New Basford is mainly Victorian.
Basford lies close to the River Leen, a tributary of the River Trent.
Basford is located on the main route of the Nottingham Express Transit, which connects it to Nottingham city centre to the south and Hucknall and Bulwell to the north.
()
The place name comes either from "the ford near the home of Bassa" (Bassa's ford) or "le bas ford" — the lower ford [ [http://www.twoatlarge.com/newbasford/newbasford-4.html Two At Large in New Basford, Nottingham ] ] . Despite this, Basford is correctly pronounced as "BASE-FORD" rather than "BASS-FORD."

" At the Conquest most of the land was given to William Peverel, the lord of Nottingham Castle ; and his men were Safrid and Pagen; and two holdings of about fifteen acres each became waste There was one soc-man, or ordinary tenant; five villein tenants, who were subject, and bound to cultivate their lord's manor farm; and ten bordars, who were cottagers, and went, or were transferred with their families when the land was sold There were five mills, doubtless on the Leen, rendering, or let for 25s 4d, and 16s. The water power for grinding was therefore well used. For present values multiply thirty times. There were seven acres of meadow, one of woodland, and some underwood. The values were put for rating purposes at 80s. There was a priest, and it is reasonable to suppose there was a church, but this is not named. Both Safrid and Pagen's son gave tithes to Lenton Priory.()".
