man, (a name then as common as Crook is now), and the neigh- 
bouring estate of Bepespenz! (Biddesden) was held by Robert 
Fitz-Girold. Crossing now to the Hampshire side of the border, 
we find in Domesday three entries under the names of TEDORDE 
and Txprorpe,? which together constitute the present parish of 
South Tidworth, the whole of which is in Hants, and which were 
held in the eleventh century by Croc the huntsman, and Robert 
Fitz-Girold. That lands lying in Tidworth were in two counties 
has lately been impressed upon us by the litigation, caused by the 
wording of the will of the late proprietor of the Tidworth estate. 
Lands so designated were in both Hants and Wilts at the time of 
Domesday,—they continue to be so to this day. 
There are three entries in the Wilts Domesday under the name 
Sranincxs.2 Two of them are clearly to be identified as small 
holdings at Stanlinch (now called Trafalgar.) We may fairly con- 
elude that the third entry refers also to land in the same locality, 
from the fact that its owner Alwi, son of Turber (or a8 we should 
say Alwi Fitz-Turber) held also small manors in the imme- 
diate vicinity, on the Hampshire side of the border,* namely at 
_ Cervirorp (Chardford), and Rocuzsorne (Rockbourn). 
_ Going now to the north-eastern border of our county, there is, 
in the Wilts Domesday a small estate mentioned under the name 
Cotzsette.> It was held under Drogo Fitz-Ponz by three subor- 
dinate tenants, Roger de Laci, Turstin Fitz-Rolf, and William 
Leuric. For a long time I was puzzled to identify this small 
_ manor, which was assessed at only one hide, with any place in 
Wiltshire. The only place at all like it was CoLzsHiLL, the whole 
of which I believed to be in Berkshire. An examination of the 
Berkshire Domesday (/o/. 63) shewed, under the same name CoLe-. 
SELLE, proof that the Wiltshire manor must have been a portion of 
the same estate, since a principal owner was Turstin Fitz-Rolf, 
whilst another portion had been given by Walter de Lacy (of the
