Excerpt from An Introduction to the Study of Local History and Antiquities

It is difficult to decide how to write the names of men and places. Colchester to a student of Roman things has not the significance of Camulodunum. Yet it has seemed better to give modern names throughout, for the place is the same, and the general student profits though the expert may be annoyed. Similarly common sense dictates that one should write Beauchamp and Odell, though in Domesday Book these appear as Belcamp and Wadehelle.
