Talk:Longnor, Staffordshire

There is a village called Longnor in Staffs. I'll check its location. Mr Stephen 21:18, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

I agree with Mr Stephen, ive heard of a village called Longnor, it's just south of Shrewsbury, although i'm pretty certain Peak Practice was not filmed there and have removed it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.135.119.244 (talk • contribs) 21:30, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Thank you. --TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 21:35, 10 September 2006 (UTC)


 * I have added the coords, so its existence should be chackable at the click of a mouse. Its claim to be a site for Peak Practice is here, here, and most tellingly here at the BBC.  I'll stick the last one is as a reference.  Mr Stephen 21:36, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Longnor article
originating as the site of a market in the 1850s is not true - the village was there long before. If anyone has access to Domesday Book, it was probably in there. It seems to have been a rural market town in the 18th century, or at least a large village to which local villages looked for the market. (See Dyson, ref in Hollinsclough and Flash, Staffordshire articles.) I am aiming to lay out the main article in sections for easier edits. Robert of Ramsor (talk) 22:02, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Longnor in fiction
According to this article from the BBC website Longnor was the basis of Jane Austen's fictional Lambton, Derbyshire. Some claims disagree, stating that actually Lambton was based on the town where Austen was staying while she wrote P&P, but this aforementioned article claims otherwise. I found it interesting, and it might be considered for a tidbit for the article. --Ashley Rovira (talk) 15:48, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
