Where Hartopps are most common

Historical parish links are strongest around London parishes, Ibstock, Bedworth, Leicester St Margaret and Bishop's Fee, Leicester All Saints, Blackfriars and Coventry Holy Trinity (incl. Radford), Coventry St Michael, Wyken. These are the places where the surname stands out most clearly in the older records.

The modern local-area list points to Nuneaton and Bedworth, Coventry and South Holland. Treat these as concentration signals, not proof that every family line began there.
