Yes, Ceawlin's conquest of the Severn Valley began in 577, but I see no
reason why the Anglo-Saxons, especially those in what was to become
Mercia, should not have been aware of a major river just outside the
area controlled by them. Then, the change of s- > h- did not take place
overnight in AD 550; there must have been a lengthy period of variation,
with the conservative s-form (preserved also in British Latin) being
probably regarded as more careful. The Severn isn't the only example of
a Brittonic river-name retaining its *s in English.
