The house is in Gloucestershire. RM say it is in Chepstow, which is in
Wales, but according to RM this bit of Chepstow is in Glocs.

Which just emphasises how confusing it all is. Peterborough is not in
Cambridgeshire from an administrative perspective - it's a Unitary
Authority, within the Ceremonial County of Cambridgeshire which lives on
in people's minds and through the office of Lord Lieutenant. So is your
aunt's house in Norfolk, Peterborough or Cambridgeshire? The answer is
"all of the above" - it depends on your perspective.
