Geoffrey holds of Gilo half a hide in 



' ' Now lost,' says Mr. Stuart Moore. But 

 I am certain it is represented by the ' 2 

 hides and 4 small virgates' in Culworth, 

 which are returned as held by William in 

 the ' Northamptonshire Survey.' Bridges 

 thought that this holding was 'not men- 

 tioned in Domesday Book,' as he did not 

 recognize it under ' Brime.' William's heirs, 

 the Culworths, held it of the Pinkeneys by 

 the service of one knight, and also held of 

 them in Sulgrave, which adjoined Culworth 

 on the south-east, as did ' Landric,' their 

 Domesday predecessor.
