Part two from Marshfield, this video explores the Indo-European roots of rivers beginning with Don-, dan-, and dn- especially taking into account our Doncombe brook in Marshfield. We also examine a little the mythic background of the name both in the Rig Veda and Welsh myth.
These history walk videos are about the English landscape in and around the south west of England (though I make the odd foray into Wales). I often use ancient charters (such as Saxon charters) to give me insight into the way the landscape was viewed in the past.
But it is not the Saxons that interest me the most (though they do) but the prehistoric world and its ancient monuments, trackways and ditches.
