Ismere Diploma
The Ismere Diploma (London, British Library, Cotton Augustus ii. 3) is a charter of 736, in which Aethelbald of Mercia grants ten hides of land near Ismere to Cyneberht, his "venerable companion", for the foundation of a coenubium (minster). The charter concerns land on both sides of the River Stour with the wood of Cynibre (Kinver) on the north and the wood called Moerheb on the west. The traditional view has that the latter was to interpret Moerheb as Morfe, but this is a geographic impossibility. The wood is more likely to have become Kidderminster Heath.
