The Place-Names of Surrey
£20.00
by J. E. B. Gover, A. Mawer, and F. M. Stenton, in collaboration with A. Bonner.
This volume contains the names of parishes in the present county, together with those transferred in 1888 to the newly created Administrative County of London, and those which in 1965 were absorbed into Greater London (the entire Brixton Hundred and parts of Kingston and Wallington Hundreds). A small selection of street‑names adds to the interest of the volume. Field‑names are presented as in Volume 10 (the parishes concerned are indexed in Journal 27). Three appendices conclude the volume: names formed from animal-head names (by Bruce Dickins); Coldharbour and the element Friday in place‑names, both contributed by Arthur Bonner. An end-pocket contains a county map (with hundred and parish boundaries) and six distribution maps.
ISBN: 0 904889 22 X. xlvi + 445 pp. 7 maps.
