A HISTORY OF SUFFOLK 



In WiNESTUNA [Winston] 21 freemen (held) 

 I carucate of land. And 2 acres of this land 

 were T.R.E. on the demesne of Saxo, the prede- 

 cessor of Ranulph Peverel, in Depbenham [De- 

 benham]. One of them was under commenda- 

 tion to Saint Edmund with 13 acres; and (the 

 Saint) was seised thereof until Ralph made 

 forfeiture. Then as now 5 ploughs. And ^^ 

 acres of meadow. Then it was worth 40J., now 

 45X. Of 8 Saxo had commendation, and the 

 Abbot of Ely had both soke and commendation 

 over the others, except two, namely Alwin and 

 Lewin, who were under commendation to one 

 himself under commendation to Edric, Malet's 

 predecessor. 



In AsFELDA [Ashfield] Saurin the priest, a 

 freeman in the Abbot's soke and commendation, 

 (held) 30 acres. Then as now 2 bordars. And 

 I plough. Worth 10;. Of this priest Walter 

 de Dol was seised when he forfeited his land, and 

 Earl Hugh was seised afterwards as the Hundred 

 bears witness. And Norman says that the King 

 sent him a writ that he should deliver seisin to 

 Ralph de Savigny of all the freemen over whom 

 Hubert de Port had delivered seisin to the 

 Bishop ; and so Norman delivered seisin of this 

 priest to Ralph ; but still he does not know if 

 Hubert had formerly delivered seisin of him to 

 the Bishop. And the King's Barons when they 

 came into the county found him (held) peace- 

 ably {in pace) between Roger Bigot and Earl 

 Hugh, and so he shall remain undisturbed ((;; 

 pace), until his case be decided {donee sit deration- 

 atui).
