Wikipedia:Index of articles on UK Parliament constituencies in England N-Z

This article contains the second half of the wikipedia Index of articles on UK Parliament constituencies in England N-Z. For the first half see Index of articles on UK Parliament constituencies in England A-M. Each entry incorporates the name of the article, with the official names and periods of the constituencies included.

Criteria
The article should relate to roughly the same area. The constituency in each period included should have an identical or similar name. The article name should, in general, follow the form of the most recent version of the constituency (this relates to things like the use or non use of hyphens and variation of spelling and word order).

In general the trend over time has been to make the constituency names more official and to reduce the amount of punctuation. Therefore forms like 'St Albans' and 'Birmingham Edgbaston' are preferred to 'St. Albans' and 'Birmingham, Edgbaston'. Only constituencies with three or four place names included in the official name should include commas in the article name.

Before 1950 English county constituencies using compass point division names were usually referred to in a form like 'Southern Dorset'. Since 1950 the form would be 'South Dorset'. To avoid confusion the latter form is used for all article names of this type. The only exceptions are the divisions of West Riding of Yorkshire as 'North West Riding of Yorkshire' is more confusing than 'Northern West Riding of Yorkshire'.

Where there is scope for confusion unofficial prefixes or suffixes are used, unless there is an official one at some point in the constituencies history. Thus 'City of Durham' is used for the Durham constituency, even though the official prefix was only added in recent redistributions. Another official example is 'Richmond (Yorks)'. By analogy unofficial suffixes are used such as 'Wellington (Shropshire)' and 'Wellington (Somerset)'. These may sometimes disambiguate from constituencies in other parts of the United Kingdom, like 'Louth (Lincolnshire)' to distinguish it from the Irish 'County Louth'. In a few instances counties usually referred to in a form like 'Derbyshire' are referred to as 'County of Derby'. The former version is preferred for article names.

London borough names, although part of the official constituency names in 1974-1983, are not usually used in article names relating to that period.

Article names which depart from the naming criteria generally adopted are indicated in footnotes.

List
Article names are followed by (UK Parliament constituency). The constituencies which existed in 1707 were those previously represented in the Parliament of England.

For articles A-M see Index of article on UK Parliament constituencies in England.

P
Note:-
 * a This constituency is strictly the South Poplar division of Poplar. As 'Poplar South Poplar' would include the borough name twice, the official name of the constituency is referred to as 'South Poplar'. The existing article calls the seat 'Poplar South' (which is in the usual form for a borough constituency, but does not match the unusual official name of the seat). A redirect exists from the official name to the article name.

S
Notes:-
 * a Article currently called Staffordshire South East. There is a redirect from the correct name of South East Staffordshire.
 * b Article currently called Burslem. As this is not a situation where the same constituency name was used for successive divisions of different boroughs, this is not an approproate article name. There is a redirect from Stoke-on-Trent Burslem.
 * c Article currently called Surrey North West. There is a redirect from the correct name of North West Surrey.
 * d Article currently called Stratford West Ham (to disambiguate the constituency from Stratford-on-Avon). West Ham is one of the London boroughs where the borough name has not been used as a prefix in article names, for divisions with individual names. There is a redirect from West Ham Stratford.

W
Note:-
 * a The name used for the constituency article is (Much) Wenlock. Much Wenlock is an alternative name for the parliamentary borough. There is a redirect from Wenlock.
 * b The article is currently called Abbey. There is a redirect from the correct name of Westminster Abbey.
 * c This currently links (as a redirect) to the article about the borough, which includes some information about the constituency. A specific article about the parliamentary constituency is needed.
 * d The existing article makes a sharp distinction between The Wrekin (1918-1997), (which it does not cover) and The Wrekin (1997-) which it does. This is unusual where the same constituency name is in continuous use, so further consideration may be needed. If the split is appropriate a new article is needed for the historic constituency.
