The name’s the thing
Having been in South Africa, which, being more recent, has place names that tell something about the place, I’ve become interested in place names all over. Oxford and Cam,bridge, I can see as Ox – ford and Cam – bridge and I can understand Aberdeen is the Aber or the mouth of the river Dee, Glasgow seems to be the green glen and Edinburgh is the town, or burgh at E(dwin’s) dun or castle but what is Kingston Bagpuize, or Autermuchty, for that ,matter.
