Motivation

The site, run by a consortium of British universities led by Queen's University Belfast, gives a detailed listing of historical variant forms of place-names with corresponding dates, as extracted from old documents and published in the county-by-county volumes of the English Place-Name Society since 1923. Again, a useful external link to have in the Authority Control for places in England.Jheald (talk) 23:37, 7 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
