Notes. 



(7) These and the fdUowiiig names of places I have as yet not 

 been able to identify. 



{2) Man-corn, mixed grain, wheat and rye, or wheat and barley, 

 grown together. Man = " mang," as when sheep are mixed up, and 

 " all amang." Other forms of the word are " mang-corn," " mong- 

 corn," " mun-corn," " monk-corn," etc. Bread made of this was 

 but little esteemed, cf. Piers Ploughman's Creed, 785 f. : — 



" Thei schulden deluen & diggen & dongen the erthe 

 & mene mong-corn bred to her mete fongen." 



(3) Pannage was a payment made for the pasturing of animals, 

 usually swine, in the woods. 



{4-) Herhagc was a due or payment for the right to pasture 

 cattle ; in this case it was paid by ploughing-work, called grass- 

 earth on many manors. 



(.'7) Churchshot or chirset. An ancient ecclesiastical due for the 

 maintenance of the Church. 



(G) Harvest-work. The 02')cra precaria, or boon work, required 

 in harvest. Called bedrip or " bid-reap " on Hatherop manor. 



(7) This and the following notes are memoranda, which are not 

 now very intelligible. The " woman of Wosiesie " (which one would 

 like to make into " Woster," or "Wocesie"=Oaksey) presumably 

 holds the land for which Thomas Chanterel renders two arrows, 

 on the old roll. The two shillings paid hj Aiidrew de Lia " pro 

 fuga " seem to indicate that he was a villein tenant belonging to 

 another manor, and to represent a composition with the lord of that 

 manor for the loss of his man's services. 



(8) This entry has been inserted in a later hand, and contains 

 the only reference to " suit of court " in the present documents. 

 The " relief " was the tine paid by the tenant on resumption of the 

 holding. 



(9) Discuin plenum de hlado I take to mean a dish, but it may 

 refer to the winnowing shovel.
