Suffolk place-names course

On 2012-11-10 I gave a one-day course on the history of Suffolk place-names at Wuffing Education.

Also available here is the pdf of my 10-page handout giving the elements making up each Suffolk parish name (Welnetham was missing from the handout on the day; this is now fixed).

some positive feedback: what was best about the day?

• Wonderful day — thanks
• Good resources
• Wealth of information
• Like standing on a hill looking at a deep valley that could be explored (if only one had time)
• The collections of word ‘units’ which is extremely complete and concise and which will be very useful for the future
• Very interesting topic and targeted at Suffolk. Excellent
• The speaker's depth of knowledge
• Lecturer's knowledge
• Some excellent specific stuff, illustrating certain theses
• Very methodical and careful approach of the speaker
• Variety of topics
• All good
• It might have been a crowded schedule but it left a lot for us to follow up. Better too much than too little.

some negative feedback

... mostly concerned a few technical points like readability of names on maps. These will be attended to if the course is repeated.
