It uncovers the different patterns of hybrid place-name formation, investigating the Celtic, the Anglo-Saxon, the Scandinavian and the Norman French layers and elements of English toponymy.

It will appeal historians, historical linguists, and sociolinguists, as well as place-name scholars and local history enthusiasts.
