If you would like your own copy of John Moss’ A History of English Placenames and Where They Came From, it is available on Amazon here (Amazon affiliate link). Having examined British surnames and their origins in his previous Great British Family Names and Their History(2019), Moss continues his output of publicly accessible books combining onomastics and micro-historical case studies with A History of EnglishPlacenames and Where They Came From.
