Profile

Smithdown was too small a place and too far from Æthelmund 33 and Æthelmund 34’s estates in western Mercia, and from Almund 3’s manors in Yorkshire, for its owner to be identical with any of them.

There is now no place called Smithdown, but the name survives in Smithdown Road, which crosses a gritty part of Liverpool.
