To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

" ^ In 1296 Alexander de Meyners was put in pos- session of " Weme and Aberfeldy " ; this is appar- ently the first mention of Weem. The name " Wem " occurs early in English history. In Ethelwerd's Chronicle we learn that in the year 851 Ceorl, Duke of Devon, fought a battle against the pagans at " Wembury. " ^ This is on the coast of Devonshire at Yealm Mouth. In Shropshire, about ten miles north of Shrewsbury, we have Wem, the "Weme" of Domesday Book, situated in a hollow where there is no ca...ve. The name seems to be purely Teutonic, and to have been used as equivalent to the word derived from the Latin cavus, meaning " hollow, " and is in fact the Scotch word tvame, weam. Anyhow, we learn from the Register of the Priory of St 1 W. F. Skene, Celtic Scotland, vol. Ii. P. 406, quoting Register of the Priory of St Andrews.
" Ethelwerd's Chronicle, c. Iii. ; Bohn's ed. , p. 23.

Andrews that before the name Weme appears in that district, there was a Chester man settled in the locaHty, Chester itself being but twenty -one miles from the Wem in Shropshire.
