The speaker for our talk on Thursday 7th May will be Dr Mike Jenkins who is new to the group but who comes highly recommended. The subject of his presentation is ‘Voices from the Past’ - The History of Place names in England’ taken taken from his book and with special emphasis on those local to Tenbury Wells and other interesting local names such as Clee Hill, Lindridge. Rochford, Stoke Bliss and Pensax to name a few. Dr Jenkins will question ... Who were the folks who created your local names? What are they calling out over the centuries and how can place names tell us about their lives?
