Profile

The name Wyngeat occurs only once in DB. He was named third of the three men who held 3 manors at Marche, a vill in an upland valley of south Shropshire, not far from the Welsh border below the Long Mountain and the Breidden. He shared a final name-element with the first of them, Leofgeat (though it was a common element); the other holding, Dæging, and almost certainly Leofgeat also held land only at Marche. A further, and larger, manor there belonged to the more substantial landowner Ælfric (Salop. 4.5:10). With probably a single virgate worth 3s., Wyngeat was evidently a peasant landowner.
