A HISTORY OF SUFFOLK 



To this manor Phin added in King William's 

 time 8 freeman with 35 acres and a sokeman 

 with 12 acres, who could not take himself*" 

 out of the lordship of Saint Etheldreda, and 

 among them they had then 3 ploughs, now 2. 

 Then it was worth 15J., now 20s. Osbern de 

 Wancey holds the whole ; and Richard claims 

 it as belonging to Phin's fee. The King and 

 the Earl (have) the soke. Two of these freemen 

 Roger de Ramis claims as of his fee, and he was 

 seised thereof. The whole is 6 furlongs in 

 length, and 2 broad. And (pays) 6d. in geld. 

 Of all this Phin had nothing T.R.E.

 them when Richard made good his claim to the 

 church of St. Peter at Ipswich against him ; 

 but now he did not know that they did not be- 

 long to his fee. Among them all they had 

 always 3 ploughs, and i acre of meadow. The
