Gimingham, Norfolk. A small place a few miles inland from the North Norfolk coast.

"Trimingham, Gimingham, Knapton and Trunch,
Northrepps and Southrepps lie all in a bunch."

The rhyme scans well if you use the local pronunciation (now falling into disuse) for the last two villages: 'Nudrepps' and 'Sudrepps'.
