I assure you I did see the BBC programme in question, although this may not be the best source. The heights given in the article suggest an equal height. Some confusion may be due to uncertainty about how you measure the exact height of a village (particularly one in hilly country). The OS treated it as the highest house in the village.

I have re-arranged the layout to create a Table of Contents, and added some additional material, primarily from my sources on Methodist history. I trust the quotations from the history booklet are within permitted use in terms of being only a sample and not the complete booklet. To save writing time, I took this from my own web site, now linked from this article. I need to locate my copy and give the correct title of the booklet.

I suspect that Flash is also the highest in GB and probably the UK? Apparently the highest in Scotland is Wanlockhead (1380ft asl). Is there a Welsh contender?? Linuxlad 09:00, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
Three Shires Head
I found the detail on 3 shires quite interesting, which is why I added it. We don't have a 3 shires article - perhaps we should. It was presumably useful as a) lonely, b) at the boundary between 3 police jurisdictions - there is a great tradition of police not pursuing miscreants once they leave their area. And of course the penalty for 'coining' was pretty draconian, since it counted as treason. Bob aka Linuxlad 13:51, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
Highest village in Great Britain
No definitive sources have been correctly _cited_ to back up the claim that Flash is the highest village in Britain (as opposed to in England) rather than Wanlockhead. Currently the heights given in the Wanlockhead and Flash wiki articles appear to contradict the claim. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.105.29.230 (talk) 19:24, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
