Summary
Place-names are an important link with the past. They tell us about every period of history since pre-Roman times. In Sussex, the Celts, the Saxons, the Normans, and more recent inhabitants, have all left traces of their way of life, their beliefs, and their traditions in the names they gave to the places they made their home. Sussex Place-Names contains over 1,400 entries, arranged alphabetically. It is written in an approachable style, whilst remaining a book of high scholarship. It provides an important source of reference for local historians as well as those who simply wish to know more about the country they live in.
