SURNAMES IN DEVON AND BEYOND By Robert Hesketh

Event information
ROBERT HESKETH: Speaker, freelance writer and photographer with a strong interest in local
history. Published over 70 Devon, Dorset and Somerset titles and written numerous illustrated articles for The Countryman, Dartmoor Magazine, Country Walking, Trail, Cornwall Life and other publications. Offers guided history tours of Exeter and Bovey Tracey.
TALK: Like place names, surnames are an integral part of our county’s and nation’s heritage. Indeed many, Combes and Hext for instance, are local place names too. There are also occupational names, some, such as Tucker, with a strong local flavour; family names like Bennett and Hicks and many nicknames (some quite outrageous!) from Brock and Fox to Fairweather and Wellbeloved.
