SNSBI 26TH Annual
Conference, March 2017
The next Spring conference
will be held from 24– 27
March, 2017 at the Milton Hill
House Hotel, Steventon,
Oxfordshire
The conference location
commemorates the earlier
county survey volumes of
Margaret Gelling:
Milton Hill was historically in
Berkshire and is now in
Oxfordshire. Many of the
conference papers will relate
to Oxfordshire and the
surrounding counties but
papers on all regions of
Britain and Ireland will be
welcome.
The first circular for the
conference is enclosed with
this newsletter and further
details and a call for papers
appear on p 6.
Please note that
bookings and
deposits must be
received by 15
October, 2016, to
reserve
accommodation.
The speaker on Friday
evening will be Ros Faith, on
farming in woodland and in
downland. Papers on placenames
of Oxfordshire and
the surrounding region will
cover topics including: Anglo-Saxon
estates, animals and
place-names, field-names
and archaeology.
To celebrate the publication
of The Oxford Dictionary of
Family Names in Britain and
Ireland, we also have a
number of papers on
personal names of the area:
locative surnames of
Oxfordshire, South Midlands
surnames, names of the
Gloucestershire Cotswolds.
The coach excursion on the
Sunday afternoon will be led
by Ann Cole. She will be
taking us around South
Oxfordshire and the Chilterns
– the area that was the focus
of her case studies in The
Landscape of Place-Names.
Please remember to
complete and return your
booking form, by email or
post by 15 October, 2016.
The form is enclosed with
this newsletter.
