"The Place-Names of Sussex" is a comprehensive and scholarly investigation into the etymological origins and historical evolution of the nomenclature within one of England's most storied counties. Compiled by renowned historians A. Mawer and F.M. Stenton, this work serves as an essential reference for those interested in the linguistic and historical development of the South Saxons' territory. The study meticulously examines the names of towns, villages, hamlets, and natural landmarks, tracing their roots back through Old English, Old Norse, and Norman influences.

By providing a detailed analysis of charters, rolls, and local records, the authors offer profound insights into the settlement patterns and social history of Sussex. Each entry explores the phonetic shifts and cultural factors that have shaped the current names, bridging the gap between historical geography and linguistics. As part of a landmark series in English toponymy, "The Place-Names of Sussex" remains an invaluable resource for genealogists, local historians, and linguists seeking to understand the deep-seated heritage embedded in the landscape of Southern England. The work highlights the enduring legacy of the Anglo-Saxon period and the complex tapestry of land ownership and usage over the centuries.
