Geoff:
Just got round to looking that up - it isn't Godric Gryffindor....

'Then a tear near the brim opened wide like a mouth and the hat broke 
into song:

"A thousand years or more ago,
When I was newly sewn,
There lived four wizards of renown,
Whose names are still well known:
Bold Gryffindor, from wild moor,
Fair Ravenclaw, from glen,
Sweet Hufflepuff, from valley broad,
Shrewd Slytherin, from fen."'

(GOF "The Triwizard Tournament" p.156-57 UK edition)

Therefore, it would seem that Godric's Hollow has no connection with 
a fen or 'The Fens'; this, interestingly, might strengthen the 
argument for it being in Wales because there is more moorland in the 
Province than there is fen...
