This book explains the meanings of more than 1500 place-names and
discusses the techniques by which this information is obtained. It
is not limited to England, but includes names from Ireland,
Scotland, Wales and the Isle of Man. In ordinary language, and
assuming no special knowledge on the reader's part, the author
briefly discusses a wide selection of names of counties, towns,
villages, rivers, forests and hills. 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. This fourth edition has been revised and updated
by Dr Margaret Gelling.
