Historic Place Names in Wales

This months talk on Historic Place Names in Wales is presented by James January-McCann.

The talk starts at 1:30pm and entry is free.

Gwyneth’s tea room will be open before and afterwards for refreshments.

The List of Historic Welsh Place Names received the Cynefin Project data from the National Library of Wales just before Christmas, and since then, we have been going through them and cleansing the data in order to upload them to the List. This meant going through over 900,000 records, and pulling out each one that wasn’t actually a name, like ‘field’ or ‘house and garden’. This work is now completed, and we are happy to announce we have an additional 515,902 names to add to the list.
