Sinopsis
This superbly researched and attractively written dictionary covers every significant settlement in England, Scotland and Wales, from the Roman fort Aballava to Zetland (now known as Shetland). The origins of every place name are discussed in detail, and links to natural phenomena, local families and mythology are explored. Towns, villages and cities, rivers, mountains and islands are all included, with explanations of changes in language which can make meanings obscure. The history of Britain can be seen through its place names, as one by one the Celts, Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Vikings and Normans left their mark on our maps, and this book lets the reader travel through time not just space when they read a signpost.
