A New Dictionary of English Field-Names

Cover of A New Dictionary of English Field-Names. Shows a photo of heathland, hills and fields.

by Paul Cavill, with an introduction by Rebecca Gregory (2018).

This is a major new dictionary of field-names drawing on the collections of the English Place-Name Survey and the pioneering work of John Field, and on scholarly work in field-nomenclature of the last twenty years.

With some 45,000 field-name attestations and nearly 2,500 headwords, it is the most comprehensive work on English field-names available.

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.

The book has an accessible introduction by Rebecca Gregory, a user guide, and a list of linguistic elements appearing in field-names.
