Description
A Dictionary of British Place-Names by David Mills is a comprehensive reference work covering over 17,000 place-names in the British Isles. The dictionary explores the development of these place-names from earliest times to the present day, featuring a range of familiar and obscure names. The book includes an introductory essay discussing the chronology and development of English, Irish, Welsh, and Scottish place-names, as well as an extensive bibliography, maps of Britain showing old and new boundaries, and a glossary of common elements in place-names. This revised edition also includes an appendix of recommended web links pointing to relevant online resources, expanding the dictionary's scope and providing opportunities for further exploration. Ideal for those travelling around the British Isles, or for researchers and students interested in toponomy, local history, cartography, and lexicography, this dictionary offers a valuable companion to the study of British place-names.
