Profile

Preston was a small manor abutting the east side of the Weald Moors in north-east Shropshire, and doubtless the fen resources of the Moors contributed to its value in the eleventh century.

Burrer may represent the name Burgræd, but none of the other Burgræds of 1066 held land anywhere near Shropshire, and there are no grounds for identifying Burrer 2 with any of the Burgræds.
