Can you hold back on that until the end of the week?
I am sorting out an article in the local press for thursday.
If they pick up on the name then lets stick which Silbaby.
If they don't then the Great Bank is ok my me.

Also, The Great Bank seems to have ran along the road between Silbaby and the cottages at Silbury so maybe a different thing altogether.
Paintings in Trowbridge show it running down hill away from the spring.

Ps. Doesn't the Discoverer get to choose the name traditionaly?
