What’s in a Name?

Place names are one thing our ancestors left behind, as well as stories, skills and dialect. This project investigated local place names, then developed events and festivals that celebrated the meaning. The festivals promoted skills, local products, music, drama and art to revive our local history.

This project ran from 2007-9 and is now finished.
