Which of these facts is true about the small English town of Hunstanton?

Strange as it sounds, this is true, as the Norfolk town is situated on a large bay known as the Wash (where it is rumoured that King John lost some of the Crown Jewels!) which separates Norfolk from Lincolnshire. A glance at a map makes this plain.

The present-day resort town was only founded in the 19th century, but takes its name from a far older settlement which is now generally referred to as "Old Hunstanton". Going even further back in history, it is associated with St Edmund (commemorated in the name of the Suffolk Town of Bury St Edmunds) who was the original patron saint of England before St George. There is still an historical St Edmunds Chapel. Though it is generally accepted the name is a simple geographical reference to the River Hun, some claim the more poetic "Honeystone" as the origin.

Apart from this geographical quirk, Hunstanton has other claims to fame. The authors PG Wodehouse (Jeeves series) and LP Hartley (The Go-Between) were regular visitors, and in August it hosts England's second-biggest tennis tournament after Wimbledon.

In common with many other East Coast towns, it suffered severe damage in the floods of 1953. On a more cheerful note, its geographical position leads to glorious sunsets (its nickname is "sunny hunny") and has distinctive striped cliff formations.
