Etymology
OE Scīringtūn , 'Scira's farm,' v. ingtun . There has been a tendency from early times to lower the i (which must already have been shortened in the trisyllable) to e , cf. Sheringham (Nf). The forms under (c ) can only be explained as due to a tendency to shift the stress from the first to the second syllable.v. Introd. xxvi.
