Over the last 18 months a small team of local volunteers have collected and mapped nearly 1,000 field names analysing the meaning and possible origin of every name gathered.
Old field names act as a memorial, telling the story of the way the land was farmed and making connections between people and places, past and present.
Speakers Rachel Lucas, John Shields and Michael Ansell will describe how the names were collected and analysed, where you can find the results as well as presenting some of the research behind local field names.
February 10th 7.00pm
