A Study of the Names of Places and People of the village of St Bees and its Tithe Lands from early times
by Tom Dalzell
The study of names is informative.
Place names may give an indication of significant land features or ownership. The language of the name tells what people lived there when the place received its name. Field names add detail, particularly of the usage of the land, and Family names allow us to trace in even greater detail the movement of people.
