Where does the name of your town come from?

Every town, village or area of land has a name. The history behind these names is fascinating and can tell us a lot about the past. Do you know why the place you live has the name that it has?

Our guest in this episode is Anthony Poulton-Smith, a prolific author and expert on the names of England's towns and villages. Tune in and learn how names developed and why we have no idea why London is called London! But we do know about Windsor.

For more information please visit Anthony's website.
