Profile

This is the only estate held by someone called Bera recorded in Domesday Book.

Bera 2’s hide at Ilsham, Devon, lay on the headland between Babbacombe Bay and Tor Bay. Although the DB entry records only the presence of land for 3 ploughs, the corresponding Exon entry indicates a mix of arable and pastoral agriculture in 1086.
