8 The Bishop of Exeter. 



9 There is reason for suspecting that this 

 means what was called the Bishop's manor, in 

 East Horsley, belonging to the See of Exeter 

 down to Edward the Sixth's reign. Horsley 

 is in Woking Hundred, and there seems to be 

 no record of the See of Exeter holding land in 

 Woking itself. The Bishop's manor in East 

 Horsley is only about 4 miles from Woking. 



10 ' Dominus villae ' is an unusual and note- 

 worthy phrase in Domesday (J. H. R.). 



11 Tiling belonged to the See of Exeter till 

 1549. It has been, time out of mind, in 

 Blackheath Hundred.
