* The village of Grimston has long been de- 

 cayed, but its position can be fixed with certainty 

 owing to the fact that Jordan Foliot, 36 Henry III. 

 obtained leave to embattle his manor house of 

 Grimston. The ' site of Jordan's castle ' is 

 marked on the Ordnance maps, and the eminence 

 on which it rests is still known as Grimston Hill. 



* This name has no modern equivalent. The 

 identification with Kirton is based on the substi- 

 tution of some form of the latter for ' Schidrintune' 

 in such later lists of holdings as admit of collation 

 with relative entries in Domesday. Perhaps the 

 clearest instance of such correspondence occurs in 

 an inquisition on the death of Henry de Lacy, 

 Earl of Lincoln, in which the descent of all the 

 fees mentioned can be traced from the Domesday 

 estate of Gilbert of Gaunt if ' Kirketon ' replace 

 ' Schidrintune.'
