by Allen Mawer and F. M. Stenton.

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.
