Redmarley D'Abitot

Redmarley D'Abitot is a civil parish and village in the Forest of Dean district, Gloucestershire, South West England.

[4] The name Redmarley comes from 'woodland clearing with a reedy pond', from the Old English words hrëod and lëah.

This is emphatically incorrect, both historically and linguistically, Abitot is a word of (Germanic) Anglo-Saxon origin.

"[8] The King, William the Conqueror, received a report on Redmarley D'Abitot in the Domesday Book of 1086 though it would have been a very small part of his nationwide review of tax assessments.

People mentioned include: Aethelric; Alvred; Alweard; Ansgot; Azur; Beorhtric son of Aelfgar; Beorhtwine; Cyneweard daughter of Sigrefr; Dodda; Durand; Ealdraed, etc.
