 in 1086, as half a hide, by Turbern. 



* Held of the bishop of Coutances as 3 vir-

 the bishop of Coutances, in 1086, as half a 

 hide. 



^ At Cooknoe, in 1086, Norgiold had held 

 3^ virgates of Guy de ' Reinbuedcurt ' and 3 

 virgates of the Countess Judith. These two 

 holdings are represented by that of William 

 above. 



* As Domesday assigns Ramsey Abbey 3 

 hides in Whiston and Denton, this would 

 leave it i| hides in Denton. 



^ Entered as one virgate in Domesday. 



*° This seems to be the 'one hide' there 

 which is entered immediately after Whiston 

 on the Countess Judith's fief in Domesday. 



*' The Ramsey holding here was only i^ 

 hides according to Domesday (see note * 

 above), but, as Winemar held half a hide here

In EssEBY [Castle Ashby] and Chaddes- 

 ton' [Chadstone] William Fitz Clarembald 3 

 hides and a half." 



In Gerdele [Yardley] and Grendone 7

 king David." 



HUNDRED AND A HALF OF 

 HECHAM 



In Eston' [Easton Mauduit] and Strixton

 and a great virgate.'* There also Payn i 

 great virgate.

'^ Domesday assigns to the Countess Ju- 

 dith 3 hides and 2 virgates in Grendon and 

 3^ hides in Yardley. The total would be 7

 we omit 'and I virgate less' as an error. 



'* This certainly comprises the nameless 2 

 hides and 3 virgates in Higham Hundred 

 which Winemar, Michael's predecessor, held 

 in 1086. It is possible that the excess re- 

 presents the 3 virgates in ' Hantone ' which 

 follow immediately in Domesday and which 

 have not been identified. 



'* Domesday assigns 2 hides in all to the 

 Countess Judith there. 



'^ Held of the bishop of Coutances as 2
