About this title

From the Publisher

This is the first time that the meanings of all of the names of Cotswold towns, villages, rivers, roads, places of interest and the downright bizarre have been brought together in one volume. Nearly 500 entries include Upper Slaughter, Lower Swell, Cobbler's Bottom, Temple Guiting, Hetty Pegler's Tump, St Paul's Epistle, Spoonbed, Wyck Rissington, Knave-in-Hole, Hidcote Bertram, Ready Token, The Devil's Churchyard, Woefuldane Bottom, Gomm's Hole, Eastleach Turville, Tiltups End and Catsbrain Tump to name but a few. The helpful addition of a glossary gives the meaning of about 200 Old English place-name elements. The book also includes 30 photographs by the author.
