Counties referred to below are not necessarily the counties in which the towns are now located, but are the historic shires (or counties) in which the relevant towns were situated prior to the reorganization of local government in 1965 and 1974. Although in many cases they are the counties in which the towns were situated during the medieval period, this is not necessarily the case (especially in Wales).
