User:Sherford Resident

Sherford is an old well established village with over 1000 years of verifiable history and it is situated 2 miles east of Kingsbridge in the South Hams. It is just 15 miles east of the proposed new town near Plymouth currently designated to have the same name.  Sherford  is village of just 40 properties, many of them listed and the Sherford parish church, St. Martins, is 14th century. To name the 5000 property, new town near Plymouth Sherford is shear bureaucratic nonsense. Two places with the same name in such close proximity is bound to lead to all sorts of confusion, especially for visitors.
