A propos de cet article

Paperback. Ever wondered why our towns and villages are named as they are? Who named them and why? Which place has a name meaning 'the landing place of the dwellers in the town'? Was Rat Farm really infested by rodents? Where is there a pub known by a number not a name? Which town has streets named after philosophers and theologians? Within these pages author Anthony Poulton-Smith examines the origins of the place names with which we are otherwise so familiar. Towns, villages, districts, hills, streams, woods, farms, fields, streets and even pubs are examined and explained. Some of the definitions give a glimpse of life in the earlier days of the settlement, and for the author there is nothing more satisfying than finding a name which gives such a snapshot. The definitions are supported by anecdotal evidence, bring to life the individuals and events which have influenced the places and the way these names have developed. This is not simply a dictionary but a history and will prove invaluable not only for those who live and work in the county but also visitors and tourists, historians and former inhabitants, indeed anyone with an interest in East Sussex. Ever wondered why our towns and villages are named as they are? Who named them and why? Which place has a name meaning the landing place of the dwellers in the town? Was Rat Farm really infested by rodents? Where is there a pub known by a number not a name? This title examines the origins of the place names with which we are otherwise so familiar.
