1 With good reason ; for the Bishop of 

 Bayeux had deprived the King of the 2 solins. 

 They were at Greenwich (see the Kent 

 Survey). 



* These, and the bordars on the manors 

 at Croydon, are the only bordars in Walling- 

 ton Hundred. There are no cottars on royal 

 demesne in Surrey.

 Hundred. The name of Reigate, Mr. Round 

 tells me, occurs in 1 1 99.

 testify that 2 hides and i virgate 9 have been

9 The 1 6 hides less i virgate, with 2 

 hides and i virgate subtracted, make 13-^ 

 hides ; evidence that the Domesday virgate 

 was a quarter of a hide. 



10 Probably Kingswood Liberty, which is 

 part of Ewell parish. 



11 Letherhead nearly certainly. In Testa 

 de Nevill it is Lerred ; elsewhere Ledred and 

 Leddered.
