Nottingham: English Place-Name Society , 2018. This massive survey of English field names draws on the materials gathered by the late John Field and the research archive of the English Place-Name Society. It contains some 45,000 field names presented in over 2,500 dictionary entries. It is preceded by an in-depth scholarly introduction by Rebecca Gregory. Professors Richard Coates and Carole Hough have already described it as ‘a tour de force’ and ‘a magnificent achievement’. Names are given in standard and variant forms, and dated early spellings where possible. The meanings of the names are briefly discussed with a range of information relating to naming practices, land-use, shape and size, flora and fauna, history and archaeology, etc. It is an essential reference tool for local historians, landscape and agricultural historians and place-name scholars.. First Edition. Paperback. Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall.
