The hill above our village is called Sharpenhoe Clappers.
Loose in Kent(UK), & guess what the female morris team based there is called?!!
All these form a relatively small area in Bedfordshire/Cambridgeshire:
Herring's Green
Shortstown
Broom
Wrestlingworth
Eyeworth
Wendy
Cockayne Hatley
Trumpington
& lots of 'Bottoms' eg Six Mile Bottom(Cambs) Bottom of Hutton(Lancs)
Dickleburgh(Norfolk)
I could go on all night but I won't bore you
