Hough, Crewe (link), and Thornton Hough, Wirril (link), in Cheshire, UK, are roughly 40 miles apart (link). Although there is also a Hough Nall, near Wilmslow that just under 30 miles from the former (link). I cannot find how any of them are pronounced, but, for what it's worth, the origin is from Old English hōh 'ridge or spur of land' (link).
Ceci n'est pas un seing.
