WYMERING, extinguished parish in Cosham
A hypothetical folkname 'Wigmaeringas'='people associated with Wigmaer' used as a place name, as in 'Hastings' (Sussex).
The place is described in text Cobbett 1830
... I came on to WIMMERING, which is just about the mid-way along the foot of the hill, and there I saw, at a good distance from me, five men reaping in a field of wheat of about 40 acres. I found, upon inquiry, that they began this morning [2 August], and that the wheat belongs to Mr. BONIFACE, of Wimmering. Here the first sheaf is cut that is cut in England: that the reader may depend upon.
