In part 4 of the etymology of English/UK place names and naming, I talk about common English place name endings such as -burn (as seen in Blackburn and Burnley); -Wick (as seen in Norwich and Berwick); and yummy influences on place names (cheese and garlic!...think Chiswick; Keswick; Ramsey and Ramsbottom). I also touch on some religious influences on UK place names today
I do hope you enjoy
