I have a will of 1666 which makes reference to a parish in HEF but the name is unknown to me. The name appears to read: "Storkon in the p'ish of Bymorton and the County of Hereford" The script is fairly clear considering the date and the rest of the will I have easily transcribed. Could Bymorton be an early rendition of Byton? Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks in advance, David Matthews

It is possible that it is Birtsmorton in Worcs.
