NOTES TO DOMESDAY MAP 



(Compiled by H. E. MALDEN, M.A.) 



IN this map those manors in which the king had 

 an interest are distinguished by a scarlet line 

 under the name. A blue line is under those of 

 the chief ecclesiastical tenant, the Abbey of Chert- 

 sey ; a green line marks those of the greatest lay 

 tenant, Richard, son of Count Gilbert, alias Richard 

 de Tonbridge. 



The identification of the names has been based 

 upon a comparison of the later records of feudal 

 tenures with the Domesday Survey. Where there 

 is real uncertainty about a name a query has 

 been appended, as to Estreham ? Where a place 

 is clearly not represented by any existing or 

 formerly localized name, it is left out, as Driteham. 

 Bramselle is omitted as being only possibly repre- 

 sented by a modern farm. A nameless manor in 

 Tandridge Hundred has been hypothetically indi- 

 cated by two queried modern names, Caterham ? 

 and Warlingham? 



The Domesday Hundreds have been marked 

 out by the later boundaries with some modifica- 

 tions. The attribution of places to Hundreds is 

 careless in the Survey, and sometimes mistaken. 

 In other cases the boundaries then were different 

 from what they are now. One or two of 

 the present Hundreds are perhaps not ancient. 

 The estates of the Bishop of Winchester are 

 attributed to no Hundred in the Survey, but 

 answer to the present Farnham Hundred. The 

 whole of Godley Hundred, with the exception of 

 Pirford, was then held by the Abbey of Chertsey. 

 It possibly represents a district formerly unin- 

 habited except along the banks of the Thames, 

 and considered as a Hundred after its grant to 

 the Abbey, perhaps in the seventh century. 



The Hundreds to the south bordered on unin- 

 habited forest, with no definite southern boundary, 

 so that some isolated places in Sussex were reckoned 

 as belonging to them. 



Nine of the Hundreds are named after places 

 of small importance, one Emley Bridge being 

 lost altogether. Kingston and Godalming were the 

 largest places in their Hundreds. 



The names and courses of rivers are given as 

 they are now. The canalization of the Wey in 

 the seventeenth century changed its course.
