Reason I asked was that there's a town in SA called Quorn which according to the Wikipedia entry was named after Quorndon in Leicestershire, United Kingdom.
And now info on the original Quorn in the UK:
Quorn is a village in Leicestershire, England, situated next to the university town of Loughborough. Quorn's name was shortened from Quorndon in 1889, to avoid postal difficulties owing to its similarity to the name of another village, Quarndon, a few miles away. Its original name is said to derive from the Old English cweordun. Dun, Old English for Hill, where cweorn, Old English for millstones, are quarried.
