Based on many years of detailed research, Place-Names of Glamorgan investigates the historical evidence and meanings of more than 1,100 place-names in the historic county of Glamorgan, and the eight modern unitary authorities, stretching from Rhossili to Rumney and Rhoose to Rhigos.
The illustrated volume contains a concise introduction to the subject, a bibliography, a glossary of common place-name elements, and a close examination of individual place-names and their historic forms.
Richard Morgan is a former archivist at Glamorgan Archives and co-author of the Dictionary of the Place-Names of Wales.
