Excerpt from Worcestershire Place Names Nearly all English place-names have their root in anglo-saxon the principal exceptions are rivers and hills, which frequently maintain their earlier names (especially large rivers), and then their construction is almost hopeless. On the west side of Severn a few names appear to be of Welsh origin (e. G. Malvern, Mathon, Pendock, Pensax, and should therefore be dealt with by a Welsh scholar. Before commencing my work I was of opinion that the Norsemen had left no permanent traces of their invasions in Worcestershire but I now think it pretty clear they made a settlement in the neighbourhood of Clent and Hagley, probably on one of their raids up Severn. The same thing happened in North Staffordshire, where several place-names and words are clearly of Danish origin. The anglo-saxons appear to have been a homely race, for their place-names have the simplest origins, very different to the Welsh, Irish, and Scotch, whose names largely savour of poetry, sentiment, and history.

Excerpt from Warwickshire Place Names In introducing "Warwickshire Place Names' I have little to add to the prefaces to my earlier works on Staffordshire and Worcestershire names. I have used Dugdale's Antiquities of Warwickshire for a foundation, as containing the best account of the county in his day (1656); but many places, some noticed by him as then depopulated, have now disappeared from maps and directories. I have endeavoured to deal with all places, however small, having a history and supplying the necessary forms. In tracing them I have been able to identify several Domesday manors apparently unrecognized by Dugdale, or Reader (Warwickshire Domesday, 1835). Only six now remain unknown, viz. Altone, Ermendone, Leth, Rincele, Surland, and Ulware. I have found Dugdale very serviceable in the supply of forms, which he is careful to give in their old garb. He tells us that he spent twenty years in searching public and private records for material. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Origin of the Names of the Towns in Worcester County Blackstone - William Blackstone, an Episcopal minister, was the first white settler in Boston, where he built a cabin in 1625-6, and where he was found by Gov. Winthrop in 1630. Blackstone afterwards moved to Rhode Island and settled on the bank of the river a few miles above Providence, at what is now called Cumberland. The river soon acquired the name of the Blackstone river. The town of Blackstone was taken from Mendon and incorporated in 1845. For some time previous to its incorporation the settlement was called Blackstone, this name being naturally suggested by the location of the village on the river of that name. The name itself naturally suggests its meaning, but how it originated is a matter of pure speculation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Indian Names of Places in Worcester County, Massachusetts: With Interpretations of Some of Them The introduction or omission of a letter for the sake of euphony by English writers. (dr. Trumbull also says, The methods of Algonquin synthesis are so exactly prescribed that the omission or displacement of a consonant or emphasized vocal necessarily modifies the signification of a compound word, and may Often render its interpretation or analysis impossible. The strange corruption of place names in old records prob ably attributable to the use of an interpreter.

Excerpt from An Index To Worcestershire Fines, 1649-1714 By whom the ms. Was made of which the book is a lithographed, or rather zincographed, copy is not known. Appel, it is supposed, was a German by whom the process of zincography was practised, a process which consisted in writing with a prepared pencil on very thin prepared paper, and transferring the work to a plate of zinc, from which it was printed. It entailed considerable difficulty, but the result in the present case is very clear, and the writing is good. The numerous contractions it contains have been expanded in the printed book, which it is hoped, with this exception, is an accurate copy of the original, even to the very evident misspellings of names of persons and places which frequently occur, but which will be patent to any student of Worcestershire History. It must be remembered that the book is an Index only to the Fines, and does not profess to contain in any sense full abstracts of them. The consultation of them at the Record Office will reveal many names covered in the list by the words alios and aliis, and possibly much information of which there is no indication at all.

Excerpt from Place Names in Kent In some parts of England and Wales this study of local place names has been taken up with enthusiasm by teachers and scholars, and in this connexion it should be noted that the names of every lane, house, and field and wood, should be ascertained and recorded, even if no meaning can be found. Names of this kind change, and the old folk who could say why a name was given will not be always with us. Terriers and Tithe Maps, which can be consulted, if not bor rowed, will give more names than ordinary maps.
