The Place-names of Shropshire: Part One: The Major Names of Shropshire (County Volumes of the Survey of English Place-names): Part 1 - Hardcover
Synopsis
The Major Names of Shropshire. This is the first volume in the Survey to treat the parish and township names of an entire county together before dealing, in subsequent Parts, with minor names and field-names. One reason for this is the frequent recurrence in this county of major names compounded with Acton, Aston, Burton, Norton, Sutton, etc., which can be discussed as groups, rather than individually, as would be necessary when dispersed among regional volumes. The new arrangement facilitates the correct assignment of medieval spellings and permits the wider significance of such names to be appreciated.
