by J. E. B. Gover and F. M. Stenton.
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.
