	Traditional counties of England - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The traditional counties have (even if the 1844 changes be accepted) many anomalies, and many small exclaves, where a parcel of land would be politically part of one county despite not being physically connected to the rest of the county.
		The ceremonial counties used for Lord-Lieutenancy were changed from a set directly based on the ancient and geographic ones (with exceptions such as the City and Counties of Bristol and London) to an approximation of them based on the administrative counties and the county boroughs.
		These counties are the ones usually shown on maps of the early to mid 20th century, and largely displaced the traditional counties in such uses.
