I'd be happy with Portinscale and the vicar 
I live near there ... and I'm going to the market in Moreton in the Marsh tomorrow, if you want to come and say hello 
My postman is called Dave, I NEVER sit on committees, don't drink beer and have never met the verger, let alone his wife. Sorry if that bursts your idyll bubble

I thought Spitfire was Kent... surely Old Hooky or Hobgoblin in the Cotswolds?

I have a cousin who lives down that way. Beautiful countryside I lived for a short time in Burton-on-the-Water.
I used to live there, I lasted three years before the call of tarmac and street lights called me away
