 Aubrey the chamberlain 2 hides of the 

 King's fee.' There also (is) i hide of the

 also William son of Guy 2 hides of the fee of 

 the abbot of Croylaund.^ 



In Thingdene [Finedon], of the King's 

 demesne, lo hides.* 



NORTHNAVESLUNT 



In Craneford' Bertram de Verdon 

 ('Wedon') 2 hides and I virgate (and) a half 

 of the fee of (Peter)borough. There also 

 Geoffrey the chamberlain 1 hide of the fee 

 of Gloucester. There also Richard Fitz Guy 

 1 hide of the fee of (Peter)borough. There 

 also Maurice Daundelyn 2 hides (and) a half 

 of the fee of (Peter)borough.* There also

' Held, as i^ hides, of the bishop of 

 Coutances by 'Hugh' in 1086. It must have 

 been granted by Henry I. to Aubrey (de Vere). 



^ Not entered, it would seem, in Domes- 

 day. 



^ Domesday assigns 2 hides there to Crow- 

 land Abbey. 



* Domesday assigns only 9^ hides to that 

 portion of this great manor that lay in this 

 Hundred. 



^ These holdings are difficult to identify. 

 Domesday assigns to the Abbey, at Cranford, 

 3 hides which were held of it by ' Robert ' 

 and l^ hides which are entered as held by 

 Godric of the King. These holdings would 

 seem to be represented by the 2| hides of 

 Bertram and the 2i hides of Maurice, which 

 amount to 4J hides as against 4^. Richard 

 Fitz Guy was son of Guy de Reinbuedcurt, 

 who held 3 virgates there in 1086, but of the 

 King, not of the Abbey. The 1 hide of the 

 fee of Gloucester seems to represent the ' i 

 virgate ' which ' Robert ' held there of the 

 bishop of Coutances in 1086. It is certain, at 

 any rate, that the Daundelyns subsequently 

 held here 1 5 knights' fees of the abbey of 

 Peterborough, which were in Cranford St. 

 Andrew. 



•^ Sheriff of Northants 11 55-1 160 and 

 1 1 63-1 1 70. He seems to have been son of 



In Barton [Barton Segrave] Geoffrey the 

 chamberlain 5 hides of the fee of Gloucester.^ 



In Werketon [Warkton] are 4 hides of 

 the fee of St. Edmund.' 



In Ket[er]inge (are) 10 hides of the fee 

 of (Peter)borough.^ 



In Grafton [Grafton Underwood] Richard 

 de Humaz 4 hides."* 



In Burtone [Burton Latimer] Richard 

 Fitz Guy 8 hides (and) a half." There also 

 William de Houton i hide (and) a half.*^ 



Peter de Brixworth and father of Simon Fitz 

 Simon (Bridges, I. 453, 501), who occurs in 

 this Survey under Brixworth {i/>id. II. 80). 



Mr. Baring has suggested to me that these 

 hides at Cranford, which cannot be identified 

 in Domesday, may have been taken from 

 some other Hundred since 1086 and added to 

 * Naveslunt.' In that case, he points out that 

 the Domesday 5 hides at Denford, not far off, 

 are not satisfactorily accounted for in this 

 Survey (see p. 376 above). 



^ This had been held, as 4^ hides, of the 

 bishop of Coutances by 'Robert' in 1086. 

 It seems possible that the above tenant 

 was Geoffrey the chamberlain * de Clin- 

 ton ' (as he is sometimes styled), for in the 

 Lilxr Rubeus (though not indexed) ' Guefridus 

 de Clintune' appears, in 1 1 66, as having 

 formerly held 5 knights' fees of the Earl of 

 Gloucester (p. 289). 



* Entered as 3^ hides in Domesday. 



^ So also in Domesday. 

 '° Robert ' Albus ' had held 3 hides there, 

 and Eustace (the sheriff) ^ hide in 1086. 

 Both holdings must have been bestowed on 

 Richard du Hommet ('de Humaz'), Constable 

 to Henry II. 



" Held in 1086 by his father Guy de 

 Reinbuedcurt. 



'^ This must be the hide and a half held 

 of the bishop of Coutances by ' Richard ' in 

 1086. But Domesday seems to assign to the 

 Bishop another 2J hides there which are not 

 here accounted for.
