Moderately cryptic local church quiz, for which the answers are all places in the UK. Some of them are ambiguous, obscure or pretty weak...or maybe I'm just rubbish..?!

e.g. Heavy toilet.....Luton

1. Dirty kitty
2. Repose with vegetable and reverse refusal
3. Police enquiries may follow on from here.
4. Spoil cured pork (may be Rottingham?)
5. Neither north nor south
6. Glitzy instrument
7. Stop a monarch
8. Heavy top man
9. Agree with the hanging place
10. A hill in a dock
11. Herd in a field
12. Finished a hard row
13. Safe place in single, short street
14. Smack with 23rd letter and purchase
15. Centre with winged insect
16. Own an insect

Got the other 45 or so already, but very grateful to anyone with 5 mins to spare and some fresh ideas, as I'm clean out of them! Best wishes.

Genius.


Thanks an awful lot so far, folks, keep it up!

14 Whitby (= hit + w + buy)
12 Hendon? = (Hard + end + din)
15 Corby = (Core + bee)
7 Barking
5 Middlesbrough?
Question Author

Many thanks Crofter, two of those are definites, super! Not sure about 12 at present but grateful for your efforts!


Regret Barking is the answer to a very similar clue, something like Monarch at the Pub, so I can't use it again, am definitely looking out for a '...king'.


Also I seem to have been drunk when suggesting there's a place in the UK called Rottingham...but am satisfied 4 isn't 'Rotherham'.


Thanks very much!

1 Blackpool !
What about 7 Woking = (whoa + king)?
4 could be Marham (in Norfolk)?
Question Author

Considered Woking, rejected it....now I see that it's actually right! Will take both Marham and Blackpool too (that other type of kitty)....


Thanks very much, I think I just send the quiz straight to you next time! Super job....

8 Boston = (Boss + ton)
11 Stockley is a small village in Wiltshire that fits the clue (but surely not this?)
3. Leeds....
13. SLEAT Isle of Skye maybe
