Etymology
There can be no doubt that this is the farm of one Isnard , a name of continental origin derived from OGer Isenhard . This name was borne by an historic personage in Worcestershire, called variously Isnardus and Inard , who dates from about 1135 (VCH i. 330), and is associated with Himbleton and Hampton by Evesham. Whether he also had interests in Redmarley we cannot say.
