Books
Part social, part cultural, part local history, 'What's in a Surname?' is an exploration of the way in which the nation's surnames have evolved and what they tell us about who we are and where we have come from. It looks at the surname's tentative beginnings in medieval times, and the myriad routes by which particular names became established.
