Surnames of Leicestershire and Rutland

A further book in the English Surnames Series (VII), this time concentrating on the counties of Leicestershire and Rutland. Although it has been preconceived that there is little to distinguish the two, Postles argues that there are differences which probably derive from different external influences. Chapters look at the development of hereditary surnames, toponyms, and bynames and surnames, with special consideration to the names of women.Postles, David is the author of 'Surnames of Leicestershire and Rutland' with ISBN 9780904920345 and ISBN 0904920348.
