By Lucy Buckland Last updated at 6:14 PM on 27th December 2011 Villagers from Stilton in Cambridgeshire are celebrating after a ban on them producing their own famous cheese was lifted, but bizarrely it must be called something else. A 'ridiculous' legal ruling in 1996 meant the village’s famous cheese could not be produced in Stilton as it is not in Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire. However, a new decision means the village’s Bell Inn, which first sold the cheese, has been allowed to produce and sell it to locals again - as long as they don’t call it Stilton. Cheese production: Liam McGivern celebrates the ban being lifted with a a special batch of Stilton cheese, although his will be called Bell Blue
