Profile

Leofmær 11’s solitary ferding was at Downscombe on Exmoor in west Somerset. This was 35 miles from the nearest estate held TRE by anyone else called Leofmær and almost as far from the nearest one held by someone with the ambiguous name Leomær. Given the small sizes of the estates concerned it is highly unlikely that Leofmær 11 can be identified with the TRE holders of either of these estates or with anyone else of that (or a similar) name.
