1 There are still two manors called respectively Cowesfield (or Cowlesfield) 

 EsTTJEMT, and Cowesfield Loveraz. This is the Covlestone of Domesday, 

 ■which was then held by Kichard Sturmid. 



2 Landfoed ;— the descent of the estate from William Lye, its Lord in 1316, 

 to the present time, is given in Hoare's Wilts. Frustf. Hund., p. 84. 



3 Whklplet, Abbotston, and Alderstone, are all now portions of what is 

 called White-Paeish (Album Monasterium). 



* This remained as a distinct Hundred but for a short time. The two manors 

 contained within it were afterwards included in the Hundred of Downton, the 

 lordship of which was vested in the Bishop of Winchester. 



* East Knoyle, originally called Knotle Regis, and in the Hundred of 

 Mere. When purchased (c. 1180) by Richard Tocliflfe, Bishop of Winchester, 

 and by him given to the Church at Winton, it was called Knoyle Episcopi, or 

 Bishop's Knoyle. It is now in the Hundred of Downton. 



^ FoNTHiLL Episcopi was originally in Dunworth Hundred. (Jones' Domes- 

 day, p. 182). Subsequently to the date of the Nomina Villarum it was trans- 

 ferred to that of Downton.
