Take a journey down winding lanes and Roman roads in this witty and
informative guide to the meanings behind the names of England's
towns and villages. From Celtic farmers to Norman conquerors, right
up to the Industrial Revolution, deciphering our place names
reveals how generations of our ancestors lived, worked, travelled
and worshipped, and how their influence has shaped our landscape.
From the most ancient sacred sites to towns that take their names
from stories of giants and knights, learn how Roman garrisons
became our great cities, and discover how a meeting of the roads
could become a thriving market town. Region by region, Caroline
Taggart uncovers hidden meanings to reveal a patchwork of tall
tales and ancient legends that collectively tells the story of how
we made England.
