List of Volumes

by A. Mawer and F. M. Stenton. First published (in two parts) 1924, now bound in one volume.

Price: £10.00.

The first part, Introduction to the Survey, edited by Allen Mawer and F. M. Stenton, contains contributions by W. J. Sedgefield, on methods of place‑name study; Eilert Ekwall, on the Celtic element in English place‑names and on the Scandinavian element; F. M. Stenton, on the English element and on personal names occurring in place‑names; R. E. Zachrisson, on the French element; O. G. S. Crawford, on place‑names and archaeology; H. C. Wyld and Mary Serjeantson, on the relation of place‑names to linguistic studies; and James Tait, on the feudal element in English place‑names.

The second part, Chief Elements Used in English Place‑Names, edited by Allen Mawer, was later superseded by Volumes 25 and 26, English Place-Name Elements. Its importance as a pioneering work is recognized by later editors, not least by those currently engaged in research on The Vocabulary of English Place‑Names.

Price: £10.00.

Each of the two counties in this volume is provided with a separate Glossary, Distribution List of Elements, and Index, but the section on Field‑Names and Minor Names includes items from both counties. For each county a separate map is provided, showing hundred and parish boundaries. The 1974 reorganization of local government left the boundaries of Bedfordshire unchanged, though Linslade (formerly in Buckinghamshire) had been united with Leighton Buzzard in 1965. Huntingdonshire (pp. 180–276) lost its county status. After a short union with the Soke of Peterborough from 1965 until the reorganization in 1974, it then became, like the Soke, a district in the non-Metropolitan County of Cambridgeshire. Peterborough names will be found in Volume 10.

This volume appeared when Cambridgeshire and the Isle of Ely were separate administrative counties; they were later briefly combined (1965–74) as the Administrative County of Cambridgeshire and the Isle of Ely, and then in 1974 were joined by Huntingdonshire and the Soke of Peterborough to form the present non-Metropolitan County of Cambridgeshire. Many place‑names within the present county will have to be sought, therefore, elsewhere in the Survey (vols. 3 for Bedfordshire and Huntingdonshire, and 10). An appendix gives a summary account of the names of parishes transferred from Essex in 1895 and already treated in Vol. XII. A county map, showing parish and hundred boundaries, and two distribution maps are contained in an end-pocket.

In addition to the names in the present county, this volume also includes those of parishes which have been, since 1965, within the boundaries of Greater London (e.g., Barking, Ilford, Romford, East and West Ham, Walthamstow, and Leyton). No further changes were made in 1974. The editor noted in the Introduction that “No county bears so strongly as Essex the imprint of the Norman Conquest”, adding that “the map of Essex is dotted with names that preserve—often in strange disguise—names of French towns and French families”. In the seventy-five pages devoted to field‑names the editor was able to identify and explain a number of previously unrecorded forms. Among the field-name terms selected for separate indexing are brank, cammock, hoppet, queach, watership and wynd. An end-pocket contains a county map and eight distribution maps (some locating individual elements such as wic or (ge)hæg, others marking related groups).

The Middlesex volume surveys the names of the ancient county (apart from the City of London) before the creation of the County of London and Greater London. The City of Westminster and most of Ossulstone Hundred became part of the Administrative County of London (1888–1964) and then of Greater London. In 1965, South Mimms passed to Hertfordshire, a small area (including Ashford, Littleton, Shepperton, Staines, and Sunbury) was taken by Surrey, and the remainder, consisting of a number of incorporated municipal boroughs (Acton, Ealing, Finchley, Hornsey, Willesden etc.), was absorbed into Greater London. In addition to the customary historical explanations of major settlement names, the volume offers studies of street-names, many of which are of some antiquity and are well documented. An appendix discusses three sets of charters, relating respectively to Hendon, Hampstead, and Westminster. Two distribution maps are contained in an end-pocket.

Part 1 (vol. 61): The City of Norwich

First published 1989. In making this study of Norwich intra muros the two editors had the benefit of recent archaeological work and were thus able to confirm various interpretations by reference to the urban topographical research of the Norwich Survey. In addition to the cathedral and the numerous churches and parishes, street-names make an important contribution to these studies. The prefatory section includes Abbreviations and Bibliography (pp. xiii–xxi).

The area covered by this volume includes the Soke of Peterborough (at the time of publication a separate administrative county and after 1974 a part of Cambridgeshire) historically identical with Nassaborough Hundred of Northamptonshire. The practice was commenced of the listing of field‑names, arranged by parishes, at the end of the book, followed by a summary of names not found in early records. This pattern was followed for most counties as far as Vol. XIX. Some terms of particular interest (e.g., cat’s brain, gall, nattock, wandoles and wong) are separately indexed. In an end-pocket are contained a county map (marking hundreds and parishes) and five distribution maps showing the locations of Anglian and Scandinavian names as well as of individual elements.

A notable feature of Nottinghamshire nomenclature — names of mixed English and Scandinavian origin — is a complicating element in determining the settlement history on the basis of the place‑names, and there are numerous other points of interest among the place‑names of this county. The section on the city of Nottingham includes eight pages on street-names, some of which contain rare occupational terms. Field-names continue to be listed at the end of the volume.

Containing only fifty-eight parishes, as a separate territory Rutland has a long history, including a period as an independent Anglian kingdom and later as dower land of the queens of Mercia. The place‑names of the county are of great interest, not least significant being the preponderance of Old English names within a surrounding region of considerable Scandinavian settlement. The Introduction to this large volume discusses the archaeological and historical implications of many of the major and some of the minor names of the county. Rutland was absorbed by Leicestershire in 1974, but resumed unitary status in 1997.

Part 1 (vol. 62/63): The Major Names of Shropshire

First published 1990. This is the first volume in the Survey to treat the parish and township names of an entire county together before dealing, in subsequent Parts, with minor names and field-names. One reason for this is the frequent recurrence in this county of major names compounded with Acton, Aston, Burton, Norton, Sutton, etc., which can be discussed as groups, rather than individually, as would be necessary when dispersed among regional volumes. The new arrangement facilitates the correct assignment of medieval spellings and permits the wider significance of such names to be appreciated.

The editor acknowledges the late George Foxall’s invaluable contributions to the survey of this county.

Field‑names occupy more than ninety pages of this large volume. An end-pocket contains a county map (showing hundred and parish boundaries) and four distribution maps (locating lēah and (ge)hæg, tūn and ingtūn, ham(m) and hamtūn, and cote, þorp, worð).

This volume covers an administrative area the boundaries of which remained virtually unchanged from Viking times until the late twentieth century. From 1974 until 1997 the East Riding was partitioned between the two non- Metropolitan Counties of North Yorkshire and of Humberside, but the latest reorganization has placed most of the area in East Yorkshire. The City of York has been transferred to North Yorkshire, but some places now within that city but formerly in Ainsty Wapentake are discussed in Part 4 of The Place‑Names of the West Riding of Yorkshire. The editor notes a particular problem in the study of East Riding places and their names, namely the washing away of villages along the Humber and the North Sea coast, complicated further by the appearance of new stretches of alluvial deposits, exemplified by Ravenser Odd and Sunk Island. The obscure place‑name element spen is discussed in an appendix (pp. 330–32). An end-pocket contains a county map (showing boundaries of wapentakes and townships) and six distribution maps (locating hill, marshland and woodland place‑names and names containing various English and Scandinavian elements).

This volume was the first to be edited by a scholar other than the Society’s general editors, and was also the first on a northern county with a landscape and settlement history markedly different from the areas previously surveyed. Linguistically, the substantial Scandinavian element is an important feature of the names of the county. The scarcity of Old English forms in the names is counterbalanced by the abundance of twelfth-century material drawn from the published monastic cartularies of Rievaulx, Whitby, and Guisborough. The single map (in an end-pocket) marks the boundaries of wapentakes and parishes. Apart from Teesside, the North Riding has now become part of North Yorkshire.

Twenty-First-Century Interpretations of English Place-Name Studies. Perceiving place through time: English place-name studies, 1924-2013. This volume takes stock of the progress of English place-name study over the last hundred years: approaches and methods, changing currents of opinion, recent conclusions, and further possibilities. Drawing on the documentation and analysis provided by the 89 volumes to date of the Survey of English Place-Names - as well as a century of related work - scholars from a range of disciplines reflect on the languages and cultures that shaped early England, on English place-names in neighbouring territories, and on the interface between name-study and related approaches to understanding the history, cultures, landscapes and languages of the past.
