I've always considered Nempnett Thrubwell to be setting a pretty high standard on the bizarre English place names index.
The Wallops (Nether Wallop, Middle Wallop, and Over Wallop) are good too

I always thought Quebec was an odd name for a village located in County Durham. Pretty sure there's a California near Crook, too. Muggleswick near Consett is a good one.
And then over in Northumberland there's Once Brewed, Twice Brewed, Snodgrass.
Some good place names in Shropshire, too, but Durham has my favourite with No Place and Pity Me.
