same family most probably as one of the Wiltshire tenants already 
mentioned) to the church of St. Mary, Winchester, when his 
daughter became a nun in the convent there established. Subse- 
quent enquiry resulted in my ascertaining as a fact, that a small por- 
tion of the estate of Coleshill (which is now the property of Lord 
Radnor), containing rather more than 200 acres, is on the western 
side of the stream which bounds the counties, and therefore now, 
as at the time of Domesday, in Wiltshire. 
Similar examples may be produced from the western side of our 
county. Thus, there was at the time of Domesday an estate in 
Wiltshire called Berretrcz,! which was in the Hundred of Brad- 
ford. The name is now lost, and with it also all trace of the exact 
locality of the manor. This is strange, since there was a church 
there, and the names of the Incumbents from the beginning to 
the close of the fourteenth century are still preserved to us. It 
was probably a portion of what is now included in Monkton 
Farleigh parish, the Prior of that Religious House being the 
patron, and so upon the borders of the county. It was held at the 
time of Domesday by Azor, as a King’s Thane. Now in the 
Somersetshire Domesday we find a tenant of this same name (most 
probably the same person,) recorded as holding the estate of HERLE1,? 
(no doubt the present WaRLEIGH,) a manor immediately adjoining 
it, on the Somersetshire side of the border. 
But the interest of this last example does not end here. Another 
estate, at but a short distance from Warleigh, is the Domesday 
manor of PonsBeriz* (Pomeroy), which was held by Osmund 
Latimar. The meaning of this last term is interpreter, originally 
Latin-arius i.e. Latin-er, one whose skill in Latin was presumed to 
enable him to understand other languages. Singularly enough 
the Domesday owner of Hertz (Warleigh) was Hugolin the 
interpreter. Is it possible that these lands on the borders were
