A HISTORY OF NORIHAMPTONSHIRE 



HUNDRED OF STOKES 



In Wilberdeston' [Wilbarston] and in 

 Stokes [Stoke Albany] William Daubcny 8 

 hides and i virgate.' 



In Carleton [East Carlton], of the King's 

 socage, half a hide and I small virgate and a 

 half.' There also William Daubcny half a 

 hide and I small virgate and a half.' There 

 also Robert Fitz Hugh 3 great virgates and i 

 small virgate and a half.' 



In Brampton', of the King's socage, i 

 hide.* There also Basset 2 hides.* There 

 also Ralf Fitz Eldewyn 4 hides less 2 small 

 virgates.* 



In DiNGELE [Dingley] Alvr[ed] 2 hides 

 and I virgate.' There also Richard Basset i 

 hide (and) a half and i great virgate in his 

 demesne.* 



In Sutton' [Sutton Basset] and Weston' 

 Richard Basset 6 hides.^ 



* Domesday assigns to Robert de 'Todeni' 

 (William D'Aubigny's predecessor) 3 hides in 

 Stoke and 3 hides and I virgate in Wilbarston. 

 But the total in this Survey possibly includes 

 the I hide at Stoke and 3 virgates at Wil- 

 barston, which had been held by the King in 

 1086 and which would bring up the total to 

 8 hides. 



' Here is I hide and 3 ' small virgates ' in 

 Carlton apparently unaccounted for in Domes- 

 day. But Domesday assigns to Ralf Pa)'nel 2 

 hides in this Hundred, of which the locality is 

 not named. 



' Held of the count of Mortain by Hum- 

 frey, 353 virgates, in 1086. 



* This would seem to be the ' I hide ' that 

 Hugh held there of Robert de Buci in 1086. 



^ This was certainly the '2 hides' that 

 Robert de Buci himself held there in 1086. 



^ This entry is of special interest as giving 

 us, apparently, the name of the son of a Domes- 

 day under-tenant, 'Ildvinus,' who held 2 

 hides there of Robert de 'Todeni' in 1086. 

 The above total seems to include the I hide 

 less i^ bovates which 'Ildvinus' also held 

 of Robert in Dingley and the I hide belonging 

 to the Countess Judith at Brampton in 1086. 



' Domesday assigns to the count of Mor- 

 tain there 1^ hides and 1^ bovates, and to 

 Countess Judith ^ hide and ' | of § hide,' 

 equal in all to 2 hides + ^ + y'^, which is close 

 to the above total. 



» Held as § hide and ' f of § hide ' {i.e. 

 i^ hides in all) by Robert de Buci in 1086. 



* Domesday assigns to Robert de Buci 



In AssELE [Ashley] Ralf de Bcufo 2 hides 

 and 2 small virgates of the fee of Beuv[er].'* 

 There also Richard Basset 4 small virgates 

 which Guy de Wat[er]vill[e] held." There 

 also William Daubeny 7 small virgates.'" 

 There also Roger de Sprotton i hide of the 

 fee of king David." There also Berengar' I 

 hide less I small virgate which Guy de 

 Wat[er]vill[e] holds of Ralf de Beufo.'" 



In CoTiNGHAM the abbot of (Peter)borough 

 7 hides.'* 



In Banefeld [Benefield] i hide of the fee 

 (;;.).'*

 great virgate. 



only 2§ hides in Weston and i§ hides in Sut- 

 ton. But the Countess Judith also held ^ 

 hide at Sutton and \^ hides at Weston in 

 1086, which would give a total, in all, of 6|- 

 hides for the two places. 



'" Domesday assigns to Robert 'de Todeni' 

 (' the fee of Beuver ') 3^ hides in all at Ashley. 

 Three hides were held of him by Geoffrey 

 and Walchelin and ^ hide by Wibert. These 

 three holdings are represented above by three 

 others, of which the total is 3 hides and 8 

 ' small virgates.' 



" Robert de Buci had held in all one hide 

 there in 1086. 



" Domesday assigns only ^ hide to Countess 

 Judith at Ashley. Thus the total Domes- 

 day assessment is 4f hides, while in this 

 Survey it is 4 hides and 12 'small virgates.' 



'^ So in Domesday. 



'* Not Benefield in Huxlow Hundred. 

 It is now a farm south of Rockingham. It 

 is not mentioned in Domesday (compare note ' 

 above on Carlton). 



'* The King's in Domesday. 



'* Assigned to him in Domesday.
