Fledborough

Fledborough is a hamlet[1] in Nottinghamshire, England.[2] Although now redundant, the Anglian parish church of St Gregory's, earned the hamlet the nickname of "the Gretna Green of the Midlands" in the 18th century, due to the ease in which couples could obtain a marriage licence from the Reverend W. Sweetapple.[3]
