This got much easier when I guessed the unclued answers - one of them has to fit in where it does.

The hamlet is not hard to verify.

Dohhh - thanks Candledave

Really struggling here although I only have four unsolved clues. I also have the thematic title. It's filling the grid that is the problem. Finally, may I ask if the abbreviation is longer than 5 letters because that is worrying me.

Guessing where the name might start could help as that is quite an unusual letter

Or use the longest unclued entry to start

I did guess where the name might start, but doing that, from the answers I have, gives me 2 down beginning with G, and nothing fits. I have no idea what the unclued entries are, but at least the name of the creator is 34 letters in total.

You’ve put in the wrong answer for 1a

Yes I know, slowly getting there. Pity that the spaces are not in their natural order though.

Now got a full grid and the creator in the periphery. My only remaining problem is resolving the "Lands in the French" clue.

Definition is the first word.

I realise that Jack, I just see why it is plural.
