Lymeswold cheese was an English cheese variety. Many English cheeses are named after regions but Lymeswold was not, although it may have been derived from the place name Wymeswold. The cheese was a soft, mild blue cheese with an edible white rind, much like Brie, and was inspired by French cheeses. It was similar to non-branded cheeses sold as Blue Brie. For the export market, the cheese was branded Westminster Blue, because people had difficulty pronouncing Lymeswold.
