That's an amazing total, 171 out of 180. Seriously impressive! |
|
I got just 19 from my memory, with a few others as guesses which |
|
could be easily checked. Some serious Googling will be needed to |
|
find any more and I shall not come anywhere near your score. |
|
Unsurprisingly I cannot help with any of your blanks. Thomas |
|
Turton, Bishop of Ely, composed the tune Ely, but I am not sure |
|
that it qualifies as noted in any but the obvious sense that |
|
would apply to all tunes. |

I think Turton might be it - the "noted" referring both to the |
|
tune as well as the person (Senior wrangler as well as Smith's |
|
prizeman) |
|
northallerton - both battle of the standard as welll as of |
|
byland |
|
heck and hagenbeck - both tried to "revive" aurochs |
|
down to 5 now - revised list above |
