Excerpt from The Place-Names of Berkshire In 1901 my essay on 'The Place-names of Cambridgeshire' was published for the Cambridge Antiquarian Society, and a little later the same Society published my similar essay on 'The Place-names of Huntingdonshire'. In 1906 they published my 'Place-names of Bedfordshire'. In 1904 the East Herts. Archaeological Society published for me a somewhat larger pamphlet on 'The Place-names of Hertfordshire'. After thus completing some account of the place-names of these four counties, it occurred to me to investigate those of Berkshire. I was inclined to this by two considerations. The first, that it is not a very large county in itself; and secondly, that Birch's edition of Anglo-Saxon Charters contains a considerable number that refer to this county, so that the Anglo-Saxon spellings of a rather large proportion of the names arc readily accessible. It is necessary to repeat here some of the considerations which it is desirable for the student to know. 1. The place-names of Berkshire are nearly all of native English origin; and are formed in strict accordance with the rules of Anglo-Saxon grammar. 2. They are nearly all of one of two types.
