Description
An analysis and study of the place-names of Devon based on the material contained in the EPNS vols 8 and 9 (1931 & 1932), but ordered so as to shed light on the types and distribution of different place-name elements in the county. The book is a valuable resource to researchers and general readers alike, containing many original maps and diagrams. The author has drawn upon his knowledge of the languages of Scandinavia – his home for the past 30 years – to afford interesting similarities between Norse and Devonshire toponyms. The book contains over 440 pages, and includes an appendix of the complete listings given nearly 100 years ago, some 7,712 place-names in alphabetical order, with parish, National Grid reference, date of first recording and original spellings.
