Place Names, Professor Coates

All welcome.  You do not need to be a member to attend.

Professor Coates will help us understand the history and meaning behind local and national place names.

We know that there are Old English origins in the name of Bitton. Many of our other local place-names are of great interest. Professor Coates will help us understand the meanings of many of these place-names through local language, history and culture. Some places such as Saltford, Swineford and Hanging Hill are more obvious but places such as Stanton Drew, Yate, Hanham and Upton Cheyney need greater comprehension.
