[edit] One n

This seems to have found its way back to two n's - despite the fact that that is not what it is called. The usage of two n's is historical, not contemporary - and all respectable geographical current sources use one n - including the OS, who are pretty much the authority on place names. Google searches with quotes yields ~7000 hits for one n and ~3000 for two - without quotes the ratio is even higher in favour of one n.
