The Old Words of Herefordshire Edited by Richard Wheeler

Archenstraw, Betwattled, Canbottle. For at least 200 years, local dialect words and phrases have been lost from everyday currency, and our language and culture – even our attentiveness to the world around us – has been diminished as a result.

This collection of 3,000 Herefordshire words and phrases draws on a number of nineteenth- and twentieth-century glossaries and sources, to illustrate the extraordinary richness of language once heard across the county. The book includes a detailed introduction.

Richard Wheeler combines work as editor and designer at Logaston Press with writing and professional photography. He is the author of The Medieval Church Screens of the Southern Marches and Oxfordshire’s Best Churches.
