Collinson identifies Heorleia as Warleigh; why Eyton and 
after him Hunt (Vol. 7, pp. 86, 189, Records) should have taken 
it as part of Woolleigh does not appear. 
P. 23. Vol. 7, Somerset Records, A.D. 808. 
Cynulf, King of the Saxons, gave to the brethren in the 
Monastery of St. Peter, Bath, 5 mansiones in Northstoke for 
necessary use. 
And these are the territories. 
The Divisions. First from Swineford up along the (Pipley) 
brook to Ceolnes spring (note this ceole in the bounds of the 5 
hides probably indicating the shape of the combe). Along the 
hedgerow to little Crundel. Then on to the grove Owix. Along 
Owix to the road. Along the road to Alesborough (junction of 
Northstoke, Kelston and Weston). Lower down on Alercombe, 
or Aldercombe. Along Alercombe out on the Avon. Along the 
Avon back again on Swineford. 
It will be convenient to deal next with the Westona 5 hides, 
as to which there are so many conflicting statements. Its Saxon 
Divisions, A.D. 960 (p. 20, Bath Chartularies, Vol. 7, Somt. 
Records) I have been able to identify. 
First from cortimzde (now Corkmead, which extended from the 
river Avon on the east boundary of the Parish of Weston : 
northward) to ise (which must have included going northward ‘ 
the south side of Weston Lane) thence to Pleg dic (the Via Julia, 
so called from the Saxon “ pleg,” referring to some military sport, e 
or it may be the pledge mound where the Manor Court was held) i" 
(plega) thence to Swincumbes hefde (there is still a field called ¢ 
Swinecumbe running up to the head of the combe under Primrose 7 
Hill, and Swinecumbe will be noted below to include the north 
side of Weston Lane) thence to Crawan hylle (Cran hill probably 
as containing a Rookery and extending to the north of Primrose 
Hill), thence upp to dune (that is up to Lansdown) west be ecgge & 
to lacwege (westward by Edge, still retaining its name on the 
slope, to the springwater way) thence to ceolescumbes (Chelscombe
