I love islands...
This island is much smaller than Jersey, and indeed Lundy

Had to look that particular island up. Still it's sated my addiction for islands for a while.
Smaller than Chiswick Eyot in area, but probably not in height. And like Chiswick Eyot, it is usually uninhabited

Yes indeed.
Quote from Wikipedia...
Tom McLean is a former SAS member and survival expert who lived on the island of Rockall from 26 May to 4 July 1985 to affirm Britain's claim to the island
It is 150 miles west of the next uninhabited island (St Kilda).
Now I like my islands, but I would baulk at the idea of living there for any length of time, let alone over a month!
Anyway, over to you Weyland.

Okay... in keeping with small places to live: In England, what is the main distinction between a hamlet and a village? And no cigar-related jokes please.

does a village need a church?

a hamlet is a village without a church, so basically just a bunch of houses, whereas a village has a church.
