Needless to say, I cited this article several times in my DPhil thesis and subsequent book on this topic :)https://www.academia.edu/9111908/Britons_and_Anglo-Saxons_Lincolnshire_AD_400-650_Studies_in_the_History_of_Lincolnshire_3_2012 …

Fwiw, another article on language/place-name change that I'd recommend is this by Alaric Hall on PN instability :) http://www.alarichall.org.uk/alaric_hall_instability_of_anglo-saxon_place-names_working_paper.pdf …

Two more interesting articles on Britons & Anglo-Saxons, by Alex Woolf (http://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/history/staff/alexwoolf/Apartheidandeconomics.pdf …) & Heinrich Härke (https://www.academia.edu/1178275/Anglo-Saxon_immigration_and_ethnogenesis._Medieval_Archaeology_55_2011._1-28 …)

This is well worth a look too, fwiw :) Hildegard Tristram, ‘Why don't the English speak Welsh?’ http://www.hildegard.tristram.de/media/tristram_manchester_30-07-07.pdf …

Great article. I studied placenames with Margaret Gelling- communication but lack of understanding Bredon Hill "HillHillHill"
-
yes, some wonderful ex of that! :) Her work is fab too, though have you seen Alaric Hall's suggestions re: place-name 'churn'?
-
No, "churn"?? off to look. Personal faves are ey eg Islands. Sheepy Parva, Sheepy Magna. "coombs" and wasser...never forget!
-
One of her concerns was how could we have so few 'Celtic' place-names without genocide & vast Anglo-Saxon immigration---Hall >
-
> shows that 'English' place-name corpus not established by 6thC as suggested but unstable & changing until 9thC or after :)
-
M Gelling used to say shared placenames indicate farming, trade, topographic. Small but assimilation of Celtic culture by AS?

@caitlinrgreen it's *so* wonderful! Is there a recent monograph on what the heck *may* have happened in C4th-6th Britain? -
Totally agree! Fair few attempts, some better than others! My own def influenced by BWP's piece :)https://www.academia.edu/9111908/Britons_and_Anglo-Saxons_Lincolnshire_AD_400-650_Studies_in_the_History_of_Lincolnshire_3_2012 …
