LEICESTERSHIRE SURVEY 





In BOCTHORP [Boothorpe] the same, i caru- 

 cate. 137 



In APPELBIA [Appleby] the same, i carucate 

 and i bovate. 138 



In STRECTON [Stretton en le Field] the same, 



1 carucate and a half. 1311 



In DURANTESTORP [Donisthorpe] the same, 



2 carucates which Walkelin holds. 140 



In SWEPESTON [Swepstone] the same, 6 caru- 

 cates. 141 



In NEUTON [Newton Burgoland] 2 caru- 

 cates. 142 



Jn ACTORP [Oakthorpe] half a carucate. 143 



In CHILTESTON [ ] the earl of Chester 



I carucate. 141 



In ALPELBIA [Appleby] the same, half a caru- 

 cate. 145 



In ASSEBIA [Ashby de la Zouch] the earl of 

 Leicester 3 carucates. 116 



In PAKINTON [Packington] Hugh the sheriff 

 5 carucates. 147 



In OSGODESTORP [Osgathorpe] the same, half 

 a carucate. 148 



137 As in Domesday. 



38 Domesday assigns i carucate here to Henry 

 de Ferrers. 



9 Henry de Ferrers held I carucate here in 1086. 

 40 Domesday assigns i carucate in Donisthorpe to 

 Henry de Ferrers. 



1<l Representing part of Henry de Ferrers' holding 

 of i o carucates. 



142 Domesday assigns l carucates here to Henry 

 de Ferrers. 



143 No land is assigned to Henry de Ferrers here in 

 the Domesday Survey either of Leicestershire or 

 Derbyshire. 



K4 It would seem impossible to identify ' Chilteston' 

 with Chilcote in this neighbourhood, for the latter 

 appears as ' Caldecote ' in the Derbyshire Domesday, 

 but no other place with a name approximating to 

 ' Chilteston ' can be found in this quarter. 



145 In Domesday 3 carucates in Appleby form part 

 of the (escheated) land of the Countess Godiva. The 

 present half carucate no doubt was included among 

 these 3 carucates, and it is probable that the carucate 

 in ' Chilteston ' above was involved in the same entry. 



146 Domesday assigns 14 carucates in Ashby de la 

 Zouch to Hugh de Grentemaisnil, which were held 

 of him by Ivo. It is very possible that this large 

 figure includes some of the land in the centre of this 

 wapentake, which, though entered in the present 

 survey, cannot be identified in Domesday. 



147 See the previous hundred. 



148 It is possible that this half carucate, like the 

 2 carucates in Snibston above, being held at the date 

 of this survey by Hugh the sheriff, was included in 

 Domesday among the 8^ carucates there ascribed to 

 Packington, although the only entry referring to 

 Osgathorpe in Domesday assigns I carucate there to 

 Henry de Ferrers. 



In SCEGLA [Seal] Henry de Albini 2 carucates, 

 which belong to the defence (defencionem) of 

 Swepstone. 119 



HUNDRED OF SHEPSHED 



In the same vill and in WACTHON [Long 

 Whatton] and LOKINTON [Lockington] and 

 AMINTON [Hemington] the earl ( ) 2 hides 



and a half and 4 carucates. 150 



In WACTON [Long Whatton] Norman de 

 Verdon 2 carucates and 2 bovates. 151 



FRAMLAND WAPENTAKE 

 HUNDRED OF COLD OVERTON (Caleverton') 



In the same vill 12 carucates of the fee of 

 William de Albini. 152 



In SOMEREDEBIA [Somerby] Robert de Ferrers 

 5 carucates. 153 In the same place Roger de 

 Mowbray 6 carucates. 154 In the same place 

 Robert Marmion 3 carucates, and in BURG [Bur- 

 rough] 3 carucates. 155 



In DALBIA [Little Dalby] Robert de Ferrers 

 5 carucates and i bovate of the fee of Tessun 

 (defeodo tesmn). 



149 Held by Nigel de Albini in 1086. The curious 

 phrase ' pertinet ad defencionem de Swepeston ' means 

 that these 2 carucates formed part of the total assess- 

 ment of the latter vill for purposes of the Danegeld. 



40 Domesday assigns the same amount of land to 

 the king in Shepshed. 



51 See above under Belton, note 113. 



152 Held in 1086 by Dru de Bevrere. 



153 This entry clearly includes the jj- carucates 

 which Domesday assigns to Henry de Ferrers in 

 Somerby. It is possible that it also includes the 

 ij carucates of sokeland which the king possessed in 

 that vill in 1086. 



154 No land in Somerby is assigned by Domesday 

 to Geoffrey de Wirce, Roger's predecessor, but he is 

 credited with 7 carucates in Little Dalby and 3 J caru- 

 cates in ' Godtorp.' The latter place has not been 

 identified, but is probably represented by 'Gillethorp,' 

 below, to which 3 carucates are assigned here. In- 

 cluding the carucate in Burrough, below, the sum of 

 Roger de Mowbray's land in this hundred amounts 

 to 1 1 carucates as compared with the 1 1 carucates 

 assigned by Domesday to Geoffrey de Wirce in Little 

 Dalby, Burrough, and Withcote. 



155 Domesday assigns 5$ carucates to Robert Dis- 

 pensator in Somerby, an amount which probably 

 includes part of the 3 carucates here referred to Bur- 

 rough. But Domesday also states that Herbert 

 ' Serviens ' held 6 bovates of sokeland in the Framland 

 portion of Burrough, which may have passed to 

 Robert Dispensator. See above under Knossington 

 hundred, p. 345. 



156 Representing the 5 carucates held in 1086 by 

 Roger of Henry de Ferrers as an appendage to the 

 manor of Somerby. Roger is proved by the Tutbury 

 Chartulary (see above, p. 292, Domesday Introduction) 

 to be Roger de Livet, but his identification throws no 

 light upon the ' fee of Tessun,' above.
