If you are visiting England it might be good to know what if you are staying in a City, Town, Village, Hamlet?
How can you tell?
A hamlet…….
At the littlest end of the spectrum, a hamlet is a small settlement that has no central place of worship and no meeting point, for example, a village hall.
A village…….
The next level up from a hamlet is a village. To be classified as a village a settlement must have both a place of worship and a central meeting point.<
A town……
To be classed as a town, the location must have multiple places of worship as well as central meeting points. Traditionally in England and Wales a town was a settlement with a charter to hold a market or fair.
A city……..
A city will typically be larger than a town and also have multiple places of worship and several meeting points. Traditionally in England and Wales city status was given to settlements with diocesan cathedrals, though this is no longer a requirement. City status is granted by the reigning monarch, usually to commemorate special occasions.
Another way is if you look at the church if it has one…..
The Church you see in my picture as a steeple and not a Spire. That means it’s a village, if it’s a town it will have a Spire or if it’s a city a cathedral.
Zzzzzzzzzzzz Sorry
St Michael’s Church is in the village of Kirkby Malham, North Yorkshire, England. It is an active Anglican parish church in the deanery of Bowland, the archdeaconry of Craven, and the Diocese of Leeds. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building.
