The Warwickshire volume surveys the names of places in the ancient county, including those lost in 1974 to form the Metropolitan County of West Midlands. The coverage of minor names and field-names is more extensive than in some previous volumes of the series, but street-name identifications are limited to those having pre-1700 forms. A four-page appendix (pp. 382 - 5) discusses place-names and field-names containing Folly and includes examples from several other English counties and from France. A county map and three distribution maps are contained in an end-pocket.
