and four of Shropshire. These have been left alone. One of the Montgomeryshire semi-exclaves (the second from Llanymenech Bridge) was created after 1887 when the river changed course. Norfolk The county had no exclaves in other counties, and very compact boundaries. However, it did have a counter-enclave: Norwich Castle was an enclave of the county of Norfolk within the city of Norwich, which in turn was historically a county corporate and so an enclave within Norfolk. It comprised Norwich Castle and some adjoining territory. Northamptonshire The county had eight small exclaves after 1844 (pre-1844 total 8, legal 1; post-1844 total 8, legal 1): Great Catworth (8). The parish of Great Catworth in Huntingdonshire had eight small parcels of territory belonging to Northamptonshire. These were thought to have been a property holding by Peterborough Abbey. The parish was consolidated with Little Catworth to make (just) Catworth in 1885. Pene-exclave: The parish of Lutton was divided between Northamptonshire and Huntingdonshire until 1886, when it was unified in the former county. Previously, two fields of Lutton Lodge Farm formed a pene-exclave with an isthmus only about two yards wide. The old name was Luddington-in-the-Wold. Northumberland The county had no exclaves, except for the Moot Hall at Newcastle upon Tyne which was the old county administrative headquarters. Nottinghamshire The county had ten exclaves after 1844 (pre-1844 total 10, legal 1; post-1844 total 10, legal 1): Auckley (10). The township (now parish) of Auckley is in Yorkshire, but was divided between that county and Nottinghamshire in a complicated manner. The latter had three exclaves of very irregular shape, and seven satellite exclaves making a total of ten. Yorkshire had two counter-exclaves in the largest exclave. The township was united under Yorkshire in 1886. Pene-exclave: The parish of Broadholme was mostly surrounded by Lincolnshire, and was inaccessible directly from Nottinghamshire. It was transferred to the former county in 1989, despite much local opposition. Riparian semi-exclave: The parish of Misson, Nottinghamshire is a riparian semi-exclave completely cut off from the rest of the county by the River Idle -there is not even footpath access allowing you to swim across. The county corporate of Nottingham contained a counter-exclave which used to be the precincts of Nottingham Castle. This comprised four contiguous extra-parochial areas, known as Castle Enclosure, The Park, Brewhouse Yard and Standard Hill. The exclave was abolished in 1877. Oxfordshire The county had no exclaves after 1844,
