Summary

This is the Index of Place Names (IPN) in Great Britain as at December 2022 (published March 2023). The IPN was first produced after the 1831 Census; this new version has been greatly expanded in content and extent. Featuring over 100,000 entries, it lists the names of localities and geography areas throughout England, Scotland and Wales. The IPN is published annually and with an updated and informative user guide giving a full rundown and explanation of the contents (File Size - 7 MB).(Note: Updated version 1.1 (published May 2023) reflects the change in registration districts from Northamptonshire to North Northamptonshire and West Northamptonshire.)
