"The Place-Names of Wales" was originally published in 1998 and reissued in 2005 in the Pocket Guide series. This current updated publication adds some 30 places but more importantly takes advantage of recent research. The entry for each place-name provides details of historical forms and dates, analyses each name into its component linguistic elements with meaning, tracks the later linguistic development of the name and the influences upon it particularly within a bilingual society, compares the name with similar names elsewhere and interprets that meaning within the history of Wales and in the local context having regard for the landscape and changing land-use. The introduction, as well as explaining the link between place-names and language, history and landscape, has a section on the significance of place-name study, and a short section to allow non-Welsh speakers to understand some relevant sound-changes

The existence of the Welsh-language can come as a surprise to those who assume that English is the foundation language of Britain. However, J. R. R. Tolkien described Welsh as the ‘senior language of the men of Britain’. Visitors from outside Wales may be intrigued by the existence of Welsh and will want to find out how a language which has, for at least fifteen hundred years, been the closest neighbour of English, enjoys such vibrancy, bearing in mind that English has obliterated languages thousands of miles from the coasts of England.

This is the first thorough, authoritative study of the place-names of the entire pre-1974 Flintshire, scholarly in substance, readable in presentation, with its selection of names based on the OS Landranger 1:50,000 map. The entry for each of the 800 names presents a grid reference, documentary and oral evidence with dates, derivation and meaning, and a discussion of the significance of the name in terms of history, language, landscape and industrial associations. Additionally, comparisons are drawn with similar names in other parts of Wales and the UK, and the later linguistic development of names is charted in light of the particular influences of a bilingual society.
