Summary

Eadræd 40 held a small estate in west Somerset TRE assessed at 1 hide and with a value of 20s.

Profile

Eadræd 40’s small estate was at Plainsfield, in the Quantock Hills of west Somerset.

Plainsfield is about 26 miles away from the nearest other estate held TRE by someone called Eadræd, that of Eadræd 39 in south-east Somerset, which is perhaps close enough for a connection between them to be considered. However, the name was fairly common and both estates were relatively small and passed to different post-Conquest successors, so it is unlikely that Eadræd 39 and Eadræd 40 were the same person.
