Resumen de Wet's in a name
Webb focuses on the origins of England's soggy Anglo-Saxon place names. Among them includes Shrewsbury which was recorded in the ioth century as Scrobbesbyrig, the name's origin is as uncertain as its pronunciation today, but possibly means the "fortified place of scrubs," Atcham: a contraction of Attingham, "the homestead of Eata's children", a puzzling reference to an obscure 7th-Century saint from England's far north and Wroxeter: origin disputed, but a rare Roman place name survival, as befits the site of what was Roman Britain's fourth largest town.
