168 Gleanings from the Wiltshire Domesday. 
At no great distance from Bramshaw is the parish of Wxst 
Dean, which like it is on the borders of the county, and has a 
tything called Easr Duzan situated in Hampshire. We have the 
larger portion of the parish registered in the Wiltshire Domesday 
under the name Duens,! as belonging to Waleran the huntsman. 
The other portion is accounted for in the Hampshire Domesday by 
no less than three entries, all of small extent under the name DENE,? 
two of which were held by the same proprietor Waleran. This 
lucky forester, who, though seemingly an Englishman, appears to 
have escaped the general confiscation, was possessed also at the 
time of the Domesday Survey of the neighbouring estate of 
GremesTEDE (East Grimstead). It is an interesting fact that the 
connexion between these two manors has been continued up to the 
present time, East Grimstead being still considered as a chapelry 
of the parish of West Dean. 
Travelling northward along the eastern boundary of Wilts, we 
come to CHorpERTonN; here we have West Cholderton, a separate 
parish in Wiltshire, accounted for in the Record under no less than 
four entries,? each registering lands of small extent, three of the 
holdings belonging to Ernulf de Hesding. On the other hand, 
East Cholderton, which is a tything of Amport in Hants, is clearly 
to be identified with the Cuzrewartonre‘’ of Domesday. It has 
been suggested that this word may be a corrupt form of what was 
afterwards softened into Cholderton. This seems very improbable ; 
it is far more likely that in Quar-leigh, which is close by this place, 
we have a clue to the original form of the former syllable of the 
word, which the Norman scribe spelt Cherewar-tone, and that the 
name East Cholderton has been subsequently adopted from the 
neighbouring manor on the Wiltshire border. 
An example even yet more conclusive is to be seen in TipwortH. 
Under the name TopeworbeE® we have in the Wiltshire Domesday, 
three entries, all of which refer to North Tidworth which is in our 
county. One of these three manors was held by Croc, the hunts-
