In this episode of General Knowledge I talk about English Counties. Explaining the difference between Historical, Local Government, and Ceremonial Counties. Then going into the name origin and meaning (etymology of each one). From the 'Horn People' origin of Cornwall, to the 'Crossing Point' origin of Bristol. Understanding the common presence of the suffix 'Shire' and how it's related to the old territorial organization of English Kingdoms in Medieval Times, many associated with a Sheriff working as the monarch's personal representative.
