Abstract
[Session abstract] Medieval food production and its associated activities and industries have left a significant linguistic legacy in the English landscape, in the form of place-names. These contain numerous references to animal husbandry, crop cultivation, and so on; to a very considerable degree, field-names reflect the agricultural concerns and farming practices of predominantly rural communities; and England's medieval infrastructure, parts of which are best studied through onomastic research, must partly be a response to the movement of food and livestock. This session explores ways in which place- and field-names across the Midlands can help us identify and characterise different elements in the chain of food production and supply.
