[Bell Historians] Close But Different

[ALAN A J BUSWELL]

There is no county of Middlesex in Dove. All quarters published under this name are adjusted in my records accordingly including areas surrounding Gtr London and for other parts of the country. Both Newmarket towers are in Suffolk.

Somerset. St Nicholas (once a ten) and St Thomas are roughly two
hundred yards apart.
