Dorset Place names

[watervole]

I live in a wonderful county.  Within just a few miles of each other can be found: Sixpenny Handley,  Tollard Royal, Monkton Up Wimborne, Gussage St Michael, and Ebbesbourne Wake.

Since I had to do an archaeology seminar on Gussage All Saints, I've been wondering what a gussage is. Now I find out there's more than one of them...

Great names.

Upper Dicker and Lower Dicker are among my favourites.

Travelling up the A3 to London there's a road sign to Shackleford and Hurtmore! ;-)

Somewhere in Dorset there's a place called Booby Bottom. Cue childish sniggers :)

Don't forget Happy Bottom.

I believe Velvet Bottom is in Somerset. Happy sigh.

Bottoms up!
