Respond to the question below: Which post town includes the hamlet of Lee Clump , named for a small group of houses separate from the main village ? Output only the correct answer as {"answer": "YOUR ANSWER"}. Base your answer solely on the given information.

A post town is a required part of all postal addresses in the United Kingdom and Ireland , and a basic unit of the postal delivery system . Including the correct post town in the address increases the chance of a letter or parcel being delivered on time . Post towns in general originated as the location of delivery offices . As of 2004 [ update ] , their main function is to distinguish between localities or street names in addresses not including a postcode .
Bourne End is a village in Hertfordshire , England . It is situated on the ancient Roman Akeman Street between Berkhamsted and Hemel Hempstead , on the former A41 London-Liverpool Trunk Route , on the Grand Union Canal that runs between London and Birmingham and at the confluence of the Chiltern chalk stream , the Bourne Gutter and the River Bulbourne . It is in the Dacorum Ward of Bovingdon , Flaunden and Chipperfield . Bourne End derives its name as it lies at the end of the Bourne Gutter , an irregularly flowing stream , at its confluence with the River Bulbourne . According to local tradition the Bourne Gutter is a Woe Water that only flows at times of tragedy . Recorded instances include during 1665 at the time of the Great Plague , in 1914 at the outbreak of the World War I and in 1956 during the Suez Crisis . The Hemel Hempstead Gazette has also run stories on the Gutter flowing in early 1982 as Argentinian Forces invaded the Falkland Islands , in early October 1987 days before the Great Storm of 1987 that devastated woodlands throughout southern England , and in 2003 as British troops joined the International invasion of Iraq Bourne End was the scene of the rail disaster on the West Coast Main Line on 30 September 1945 when an express train was derailed with many fatalities . According to English tradition Bourne End was classed as a hamlet and not a village as it did not have a parish church . It lay within the extended parish of Northchurch ( Berkhamsted St. Mary ) . However , in Edwardian times , it became a village with the construction and consecration of the Parish Church of St. John The Evangelist when the Northchurch parish was divided .

Similarly Felden the Hamlet does not extend as far as Box Lane , which is also often claimed to be part of this band of housing . Felden is uncharacteristic of Hemel Hempstead in that it almost entirely upmarket privately owned housing .

Leverstock Green contains a village school ( Leverstock Green Church of England Primary School ) , village cricket club , village football club ( Leverstock Green FC ) , village hall , village shops , village pubs and Holy Trinity church . Despite its recent amalgamation with Hemel Hempstead , the old names remain in memory of historical times . Leverstock Green is a modern parish , formed about 1849 from parts of the parishes of St Michael 's ( St Albans ) , Abbots Langley and Hemel Hempstead . There is documentary and archaeological evidence that people lived and worked in the immediate area of Leverstock Green from the time of the Roman occupation onwards . Recent research indicates that settlement along Westwick Row may well date back even further to the Iron Age and perhaps the Bronze Age . It seems quite likely that this settlement was a suburb of the major Iron Age settlement at Pre Wood just outside St. Albans . Leverstock Green was and is still affected by the 2005 Buncefield oil depot explosion ( the largest explosion in peacetime Europe ) , causing damage to houses and other buildings , such as broken windows , fallen chimneys and in some cases more serious structural damage , temporarily displacing a number of families . The village is a growing village [ citation needed ] , with a location close to an industrial estate from which many large companies operate . Easy access to the M1 and M25 motorways , Watford and St Albans make the village popular for commuters . The village introduced a village patrol scheme in late August 2008 successfully reducing a rise in litter and graffiti in the area .

In recent times the manor of Ashendon passed into the hands of the Marquis of Buckingham . Included in with the parish of Ashendon are the hamlets of Upper Pollicott and Lower Pollicott . The names of these hamlets derive from the Anglo Saxon Pol 's Cottage . In the less distant past , Ashendon was an entirely farming village and , at present , there is still much agricultural activity within the village . However , some of the farmhouses have been converted into private residences , the best example of this being Ashendon Farm and its barns . Although Ashendon is a small village , in comparison with many nearby Buckinghamshire villages , it has a pub , a recreational playing field , a church and a thriving social club .

It also has a private health club with swimming pool which opened in October 2003 . The civil parish for Fairford Leys is Coldharbour which is an Aylesbury Vale district . Its northern portion is home to a modern industrial area . The development is an example of an urban village , which is a town planning concept started in the UK in the late 1990s , with its roots in new urbanism and garden city ideals . The emphasis for this type of development is to focus on pedestrians over cars and other forms of community interaction . Fairford Leys is one of the first examples of a development planned using a Design Code , championed by John Prescott and the Labour government of the late 1990s . The aim of the code was to create an urban village development and it sets out design rules during , and also after , the construction phase , to ensure the individual developers all build to the same standard and to create cohesion to the design and appearance of the development as a whole . The driving force behind this was the original landowner , the Ernest Cook Trust . The architecture is inspired by traditional Aylesbury housing styles and pastiche Victorian lamp posts and railings . The centre of the estate is surrounded by the city wall , a concept originating from the masterplanner John Simpson and inspired by medieval city walls , such as York .
Prebendal Farm is a housing estate in Aylesbury , Buckinghamshire , England . It is located to the south of the town , bordered by the Oxford Road , the railway and the Bearbrook ( a minor stream that rises in Bedgrove and is a tributary of the River Thame ) . Prebendal Farm was originally a farm on the outskirts of the old town of Aylesbury , and was one of the primary locations where the Aylesbury duck industry was developed . The owner at that time was John Kersley Fowler who was the proposer of Benjamin Disraeli for Member of Parliament for Buckinghamshire . The new housing estate was built in the 1970s and the major road through the estate was named after J. K. Fowler ( above ) . Since then the estate has seen a period of decline to the extent that it is now recognised as one of the most relatively deprived areas of the district . This led to the Coldharbour ward ( of which Prebendal Farm is a part ) being the pilot Neighbourhood Policing initiative for the Thames Valley Police area and has subsequently led to the formation of a Residents ' Group and youth club on the estate .
