Town and City Maps of Anglo Saxon, Viking and Roman Place Names and Origins

Map of UK towns and cities with Anglo Saxon, Viking and Roman origins

• Activity: finding names of towns and cities and learning their name origins and meanings. For example, Ipswich - wich meaning farm or Grasmere -mere meaning pool or lake.
• Includes a bespoke map edited by me as there weren’t any suitable on the internet;
• Sheet with list of places to fill in;
• SEND version too;
• No PowerPoint – Twinkle has a good one to introduce the idea of Anglo Saxon towns having suffixes and their meaning.
• Video links included
• Some towns are absent to reduce cluttering the map
