Eglwys means 'church.' Rhiw as a common noun is 'hill' and pronounced "ruth" (I think.)

Very close but it's more like "rew", "threw" without the th. Of course it should have the rolling r at the start but I have no way of writing that and unless a posh welshie it gets dropped anyway for certain words.

Or try Stiffkey - pronounced Stooky

How the hell does anything like that happen?! And why is it still up!

I have had a look in the phone book and the person is listed there. I am wondering if Is hould phone them and warn them? Reluctant to phone the agent direct as I doubt they would inform the owner of error and if it were me I would now want to close the account to prevent fraud.

Proves the owner was solvent in early January, I suppose!
"Quick sale? Me? Do I look bovvered?" :rotfl:

While we're on awkward names, how about Woolfardisworthy? Believe it or not, there are two in Devon.

Unsurprisingly, the locals have long said "Woolsery."

Mr J Patrick is living beyond his means, no wonder he needs to sell! Someone really should let John know on 01259 724 5xx. And just who is Elizabeth J Calder at the same address?
