A writer in Notes and Queries in 1932 noted that the Buslingthorpe (shared with Buslingthorpe, Leeds and Buckfastleigh, Devon) contains 13 different letters, exactly half the alphabet, with none repeated and no hyphenation: a heterogram, and wondered whether that was unique.^[1] In 2007 David Crystal noted that Bricklehampton in Worcestershire surpasses this with 14 unique letters.^[2]
