Description
Jersey Place Names Volume II: The Maps explores the island's rich history through its place names. Spanning many centuries, these localities and features have historical associations that are revealed in this important study. The forty-one maps in this volume locate where possible names listed in the dictionary, reproduced from large-scale hand-drawn copies of the States' Official Survey. The authors have drawn on a wide range of sources, including unpublished manuscript material dating back to the fifteenth century and learned publications. This detailed record of Jersey's place names provides valuable insights into the island's history and development over time.
