Modern Names of Romano-British Places

Name these modern cities and towns from the Latin names they were known by during the Roman occupation of Britain.
All of these places are found in England and only three of them do not have city-status. The final answer is nowadays a small village, but in the Roman period was probably the fourth-largest settlement in Britain.
The Latin names often have multiple variants - I have usually opted for the shorter of these names.
