An article by John Baker, 'Old English sǣte and sǣtan', has been published in the latest volume of the Journal of the English Place-Name Society. This article surveys the use of these elements, especially in plural compounds, and examines their distribution. Material is incorporated from various counties including Shropshire, a county on which Dr Baker is currently working as part of the Place-Names of Shropshire project.
