Animal Elements in English Place Names spreadsheet now available

Published on 23 May 2025 at 00:00

Information

The Spreadsheet was developed for a project as part of my Masters Degree in Viking & Early Medieval Studies, for the Place Names unit. It can be found in the Projects & Files tab on the top right of the banner. There are more than 700 unique Towns, Villages, and Cities that I have found that contain an element which is the name of an animal, and all are included in this spreadsheet. I hope that it may be of some use to anyone besides myself, and I hope to provide more details on what I have discovered on a separate entry once grading has been completed - so please wish me luck.
