Documentary Evidence
Hutteredes yar' in 1128, Vchtredesiare in 1195, Hutredes yare. Probably relates to the personal name Uhtraed. Owned by the monks. The main catch would have been salmon, but in fact a wider range of fish would have been taken (eg. Eels, pike, minnow, burbot, trout and lamprey' {G.N. Garmondsway (ed), 1939, 'Aelfric's Colloquy', pp 101-2}.
