Etymology
'Hreiðar's farmstead, village', v. bȳ , cf. Rotherby supra . The pers.n. Hreiðarr is ON (ODan Rethar ). Two affixes are recorded : ~ Chaumberleing 1242 Fees and ~ en le Mere 1372 Pat. Ralph Chamberlain held the manor in the reign of John and the family continued in possession until the reign of Henry VI (1422–61). But note the manor of Rearsby is still called Chaumberlayns 1486 Ipm and Chamberleyns maner 1506 ib, v. maner . The land on which Rearsby stands is low-lying in the Wreake basin. A major stream flows through the village into the river. The surrounding area was evidently once marshy, hence ~ en le Mere , with mere 1 in its sense 'wetland'.
