Profile

Leofmær 10’s estate, in the Coly valley in east Devon, lay 35 miles from the nearest estate held TRE by anyone else called Leofmær and even further from the nearest one held by someone with the ambiguous name Leomær. Given the small size of the estates concerned (and even allowing for the possibility that DB’s statement that Farwood had ‘land for 5 ploughs’ indicates an extent larger than its assessment for half a hide might suggest) it is highly unlikely that Leofmær 10 can be identified with the TRE holders of either of these estates or with anyone else of that (or a similar) name.
