English Place Names

Since this work on English place names was first published in1961, a great deal of research has been undertaken, and material has been published which is of importance to the interpretation of individual names and the understanding significance of groups of place-names.

This revised and updated edition explains the technique of place-name study, examines the types of place-name formation, both ancient and modern, and includes a new chapter on modern place names. It covers names of Celtic, Anglo-Saxon, Scandinavian and French origin, those with Christian and pagan significance, those illustrating social and legal customs, and other associations.
