in alms. And one Culling a burgess has a 

 church, St. Mary's, with 26 acres. Tumbi 

 a church, St. Mary's, with 2 acres. Lestan 

 the priest a church, St. Augustine's, with II 

 acres. Ulwin the priest a church, St. Michael's, 

 with 8 acres. In Turuestuna [Thurlston] in 

 Claindune [Claydon] Hundred, Godric (has) a 

 church, St. Botulf's, with i acre. Turchil and 

 Edric have held {tenent) a church, St. Lawrence's, 

 with 12 acres, half a year last St. John's Day 

 [ad festum Set. Johis. fuit dlmidius annus). One 

 Lefflett a freewoman held this church T.R.E., 

 which Count Alan claims as having belonged to 

 the fee of Earl Ralph, and vouches Ivo Taille- 

 bois as having made the livery. But Turchil 

 and Edric vouch to warrant Roger the Sheriff 

 saying that through him they had this church, 

 and Roger stands to them as such warrant as any 

 sheriff could rightfully be T.R.E. Ascer i 

 church, St. Peter's, with i acre. Godric a 

 church, St. Stephen's, with I acre. 



All this rendered T.R.E. 15//. and 6sextars of 

 honey, and 4$. towards the custom of honey, and 

 8j. to the prebendaries. And Roger the Sheriff 

 gave the whole to farm for 40//. (payable) at the 

 feast of St. Michael. Afterwards he could not 

 have (this) rent, and of it he excused [condonavit) 

 60s. It now renders 37//. And the moneyers 

 used to render annually T.R.E. 4//. for the 

 mint. Now they ought to render 20//'. But 

 for four years they have rendered only 27//. And 

 the Earl now as then has the third part.
