Place Names

 

This popular book, now revised and into its fourth edition, explains the meanings of more than 1500 place-names. It is not limited to England, but includes names from Ireland, Scotland, Wales and the Isle of Man. In ordinary language the author briefly discusses a wide selection of names of counties, towns, villages, rivers, forests and hills. Interpretations are offered against the background of historical events and cultural developments. Names introduced or revived as a result of local government reorganisation are also considered. This book – the only short work covering the place-names of the whole of the British Isles – includes a comprehensive index and a glossary of terms.

Format: 72 pages; Paperback.
