Etymology
Brinsham Fm, Brimesham , Brymesham 1182RBB , 1221Ass , 1626 Inq, Brimsham , Brymsham 1221Ass , 1394, 1402, 1646FF , Bruynysham 1303 FA, Brumesham 1349 Aid. This may be æt Brynes hamme 990 (11th) KCD 675, since Yate was originally in Henbury Hundred (126infra ), which belonged to the Bishops of Worcester, and the grant made by Oswald is associated with that estate. If that is so, it means 'Brȳni's water-meadow' from the OE pers.n. Brȳni and hamm . The Brim - spellings may in fact be misreadings of Brun -.
