Longest one word place name in English

According to linguist David Crystal, the 14-letter town name is perhaps the longest one-word place name in the English-speaking world that does not repeat any letter. Two places named Buslingthorpe (one in Leeds and in one in Lincolnshire) and Buckfastleigh in Devon had previously been thought to share this honour, with 13 unique letters.
