Of these the Earl of Mellend has 6 sextaries, and the 

 custom of Warwic was [this] : That when the King went on 

 an expedition by land, ten Burgesses of Warwick went for 

 all the rest. Any one summoned who did not go paid 100 

 shillings to the King. But if the King went against his 

 enemies by sea, either they sent him 4 " boatswains " or 

 4 pounds of pennies. 



The above gives us some idea of the size and population 

 of Warwick, but it is by no means clear. The King holds 

 113 houses, the king's barons have 112, which together 

 make a total of 225, which with the 19 belonging to the 

 burgesses, raises the total to 244, which on the assumption 

 that five persons lived in each house, would give a total of 

 1220 inhabitants; but we do not know the extent of the 

 borough at that time, and, obviously, it then did not include 

 Coten end or Myton, for they are separately enumerated. The 

 number of houses and tenements separately enumerated does 

 not agree with the first mentioned figures, for they are 129 in 

 number, and apparently must be added to the total, thus 

 making the number of houses and tenements 373, and the 

 estimated population 1865. In some of the Manors these 

 houses are enumerated and priced: — 



III. — The land of the Bishop of Wirecestrc. 



Under the head of Hampton . . . . In Warwic 3 

 houses of 1 6 pence, a wood, 1 league long and another 

 broad. 



In Warwic 4 houses of 16 pence, a meadow, 



6 quarters of a league long and one quarter broad. 

 XVIL— The land of Turchil of Warwick. 



Of T(urchil) The church of St. Mary of Warwick holds 

 one hide in Moitone. The land is sufficient for one plough. 

 There are three bordars, with 1 plough and 1 maid- 

 servant. There ai-e 4 acres of meadow. It was worth 

 5s. ; now 10s. 



(Earl) uEdwin held it.
