    Sure, it’s in between Kettlewell, Blubberhouses, Giggleswick and Wigglesworth. (No, really)

      GNUtrino is bag on. The village used to be recorded as Gherinstone, Garsington, or Gersington. It’s a mix of Old Norse and Old English, meaning something like “the town with the grassy ings” (an “ing” is a dialect term for a meadow near a river).
