Thanks for that one, Gail. An interesting site (although checking my
area, it still has one or two old chestnuts that are probably past their
roasting date). Be warned you will have to disable any pop-up blockers
to use the site.

Subject: 'A Key to English Place-Names' website
Dear All,
We have just discovered a website which we felt would be of interest to
other HERs in England if they have not seen it already:
http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/english/ins/epntest/keytoepn.html
'A Key to English Place-Names' is a database maintained at the
Institute for Name-Studies at the University of Nottingham. The website
is intended to provide an up-to-date guide to the interpretation of the
names of England's cities, towns and villages, drawing on the work of
the English Place-Name Society and other researchers. There is an
interactive map that allows the user to search for a place name by
pre-1974 local government boundaries or alternatively a text search can
be made.
Best wishes,
Gail
