ENGLISH PLACE NAMES - The Curious history of Place Name Meanings

What is the meaning behind place names in the UK? In this video we take a detour from classic books and into a little history of the British Isles.

Place is the second most important aspect of story, after character. Having a knowledge of the wonderful meaning hidden in place names can add a touch of charm to your own imagining of the places that you read about. Besides, it's just a fascinating topic.

This video will focus on the most common terms found embedded into the names of many Cities, Towns and Villages. If you would like another video on the stories behind the extraordinary, and often comical, names of the out of the way places of the UK, please let me know in the comments.
