Description

This dictionary of Leicestershire and Rutland place-names examines their origins and meanings.

It includes not only towns, villages and hamlets, but also rivers, streams, hills, fields and woods, as well as streets, buildings and public houses.

A comprehensive description of the origin and evolution of each name is given, bringing to life the history of the place in a new and remarkably revealing way.

Few are aware of the background of the names that are part of our everyday language, and Anthony Poulton-Smith uncovers this aspect of Leicestershire and Rutland's rich history to great effect.
