Coffee Time Talk: The Fascination of Place Names

A study of names can tell us much about the way of life in the past and influences by earlier Celtic, Roman and Norman populations. Tony Painter ventures into our history with an explanation of some historic, unusual and picturesque place names, ranging from towns and villages down to streets, pubs and even houses. He touches on some local names from Surrey. Doors open at 10.30am for coffee; 11am talk. Prebooking required: email heritageservices@guildford.gov.uk Phone 01483 444751. Free; donations requested.
