I don’t like altering the original data, but if used used a non-breaking space between “Earls Barton” and other instances like that, you could use an expression such as:
^[\w~S]+

Alternatively, if you had a comprehensive list of place names, you could incorporate them as alternation, such as:
(Leicester|Earls Barton|etc)
