Book excerpt: Excerpt from Place Names in Kent In some parts of England and Wales this study of local place names has been taken up with enthusiasm by teachers and scholars, and in this connexion it should be noted that the names of every lane, house, and field and wood, should be ascertained and recorded, even if no meaning can be found. Names of this kind change, and the old folk who could say why a name was given will not be always with us. Terriers and Tithe Maps, which can be consulted, if not bor rowed, will give more names than ordinary maps.
