 in Domesday. 



' Domesday assigns to Countess Judith 6 

 virgates and li bovates in Newton and i| 

 hides and i virgate in Oakley, which would 

 give a total of 3-j^ hides for the two. The 

 holdings of this fee above amount to i^\ hides. 

 But Domesday also assigns to Gunfrei de 

 ' Cioches ' there 3 virgates and 1 4- bovates, 

 which would raise the total to the same 

 amount as in this Survey. 



* A ' member ' of Brigstock, as i hide, in 

 Domesday. 



* So also in Domesday. 



* This interesting combination points to 

 1150-1160. Asa Crown manor in 1086, it 

 must have been alienated by Henry I. to 

 Stephen or by Stephen to his son William 

 (earl de Warcnnc and count of Mortain). It 

 is certain from the Pipe Roll of 11 30 that 

 Stephen, then count of Mortain, had been 

 given land in the county before that date. 



' 'dim' may be an error for * hid,' as 

 St. Edmund held one hide there in 1086.
