Jaywick Martello Tower Autumn talk: A History of Place Names
Place names. We see and use them every day, but how often do we stop and wonder what they mean?
When we do, we normally find that they largely make no sense.
Join Andrew Mowbray for this talk where he will be discussing their origins and meanings as well as the fascinating history behind them.
Doors open at 10.30am, talk starts at 11.00am. Entry £2.00, free refreshments provided.
