5.0 out of 5 stars Best English place-name book, 15 Jan 2003
By Mr. R. J. Hole "rick___" (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
I bought this because after looking around I decided it was the best English place-name dictionary available. I am interested in etymology, the derivation of place-names and surnames but I am also an amateur genealogist. This book along with 'A Dictionary of English Surnames' by Reaney & Wilson deserve a place on any genealogist's or local historian's bookshelf.

The entries are easily understandable, e.g.

"Luxborough Somerset. Lolochesberie 1086
(DB). 'Stronghold, or hill, of a man

called Lulluc'. OE pers. name + burh or
beorg."

At the back is a glossary of common elements like burh or beorg.

There is a 16 page introduction that includes some history of place-name formation.
