    St. Enoch was a big noise in the Midlands so I'll guess Birmingham.

    I have a slightly (very) woolly memory of a building where someone was pushed out of a window to hang them in some kind of turbulent time - I think an official building like a courthouse, but I'm very vague about it.

    edit - right story, not nearly enough detail though :D

    Right story but not where the window is located now. That building is now a bank.

    It's on Market street I think? Named after the Judge (?) Lynch who hung his own son?

    Could be - I'm honestly not sure. I just remember the story due to the play on words of lynch/hang.

    Correct. Bonus point for the number of laws in the code?

    Three consecutive elements on the Periodic Table are named after three consecutive planets. Planets and Elements please.

    The only 3 consecutive planets would be Saturn, Uranus & Neptune (Saturnium, Uranium & Neptunium), seeing as Pluto got demoted or am I being pedantic.

    Saturn = saturnium
    Uranus - uranium
    Neptune - neptunium
    Pluto - plutonium

    4 planets in sequence and 4 elements
    :cool:

    No such thing as Saturnium. The other 3 are in sequence in the Periodic Table.

    Protactinium comes before Uranium. And there is no chemical element Saturnium.

    If Plutonium is to be included then there is a case to be made for Cerium and
    Palladium. Let us not forget Tellurium.
