It's spelled Falmouth, being the mouth of the river Fal. However there is Foulness..... or foul mess as it's known.

Many of these 'towns' are actually still villages. The difference is usually in the number of pubs. Towns had markets and thus, many more pubs.

I used to live in Fordington. It was a ford on the river Frome that was downstream from the bridge at Dorchester.

And that's todays' useless information.
