Company of Liars

Story location: Home / Blog / books /
09/Oct/2009

I recently started reading the book Company of Liars by Karen Maitland. It is set during the 14th century, as the plague was sweeping across England. There is a map in the front of the book with some of the towns featured in the book. I decided to use Google Maps to find them and see what they look like today.

The first town is Kilmington in Devon. I noticed a strange place nearby called 'No Name':

There appear to be some strange place names in Shropshire. I noticed these while checking the route to Ironbridge.

I hope there really aren't towns called Dummy2643 and Dummy2792.
