Lake District Field Names
A Guide for Local Historians
£5.00
The names of individual fields can help us to understand how the rural landscape has evolved over the centuries.
Originally coined to identify a field by capturing what was distinctive about it, field-names often record how a field was used in the past, what it looked like or who owned it. Recorded on old maps and sometimes preserved in the memory of older residents, field-names provide fascinating raw material for local history.
