Obviously I don't know everything, and have to start somewhere so I'll start in Ardington. It's a tiny village a couple of miles east of Wantage in Oxfordshire, England. The village used to be where workers lived when they worked on what was one of the largest property estates in the south of England - Lockinge Estate.
It was owned by Lord Wantage, a war hero who'd been awarded the Victoria Cross, twice, for outstanding bravery in battle. He was enormously wealthy and a benefactor for the town Wantage and all the villages on the east side of town.
The village is still owned by the estate, but there aren't enough estate workers to fill the place so now they let the houses to pretty much anybody who wants one.
Here's Ardington:
