THE HOLDERS OF LANDS 



Brunlei [Bramley] wrongfully, as the men of 

 the Hundred testify. 1 



The Abbey itself holds HENLEI [Henley in 

 Ash]. Azor* held it until he died, and gave 

 it to the church for his soul in the time of 

 king William, as the monks say, and they 

 have the King's writ therefor. In the time 

 of king Edward it was assessed for 8 hides; 

 now for s hides. The land is for 5 

 ploughs. In demesne there is one plough ; 

 and (there are) i o villeins and 6 bordars with 

 5 ploughs. There is a church ; and 2 serfs ; 

 and 4 acres of meadow. Wood worth 50 

 hogs from the pannage. In the time of king 

 Edward it was worth 6 pounds; now 100 

 shillings. 



THE LAND OF ST. WANDRILLE 8 

 IN BRIXIESTAN [BRIXTON] HUNDRED 



IX. The Abbot of St. Wandrille holds 

 WANDESORDE [Wandsworth], the gift of (per) 

 Ingulf the monk. Suein held it of the King, 

 and could seek what lord he pleased (potuit ire 

 quo voluit). It was then assessed for i hide ; 

 now for nothing. There are 3 villeins and 

 2 bordars with i plough. It was worth 20 

 shillings, and is worth (the same).

 IN AMELEBRIGE [EMLEYBRIDGE] HUNDRED 



X. The Abbot of the Cross of St. Leutfred 

 holds 7 hides and 3 virgates of land in AISSELE* 

 (Esher) by gift of king William. Tovi held 

 it of king Edward. The land is for 2 ploughs. 

 In demesne there is I ; and (there are) 4 

 villeins and 1 1 cottars with 2 ploughs. It is

 it has never paid geld.

 IN TENRIGE [TANDRIDGE] HUNDRED 



XI. The Abbot of Battle (Labatailge) holds 



1 See 31, a. 2. Where following the rest 

 of Bramley they have a cottar. 



* This Azor, or others of the name, held 

 land from the time of king Edward. 



8 The Abbey of St. Wandrille [Wandregi- 

 silus] in the diocese of Rouen, near Caudebec. 

 The land was perhaps the manor of Dunsfold, 

 in Wandsworth, which afterwards belonged 

 to the Canons of Merton. 



* The Abbey of La Croix Saint Leufroy 

 [Leofridus] in the diocese of Evreux. 



5 This was the principal manor of Esher, 

 conveyed to the See of Winchester in 1284. 



LIMENESFELD [Limpsfield] . Harold held it in 

 the time of king Edward. It was then as- 

 sessed for 25 hides. Now, since the Abbot 

 received it, it is not assessed. The land is for 

 12 ploughs. In demesne there are 5 ploughs; 

 and 25 villeins and 6 bordars with 14 ploughs. 

 There is a mill worth 2 shillings ; and a 

 fishery ; and i church ; and 4 acres of meadow. 

 Wood worth 150 hogs from the pannage. 

 Two stone quarries 6 (fossts Lapidum) worth 2 

 shillings ; and 3 nests of hawks in the wood, 

 and 10 serfs. In the time of king Edward 

 it was worth 20 pounds, and afterwards 15 

 pounds ; now 24 pounds. Brameselle 7 be- 

 longed to this manor in the time of king 

 Edward, as the men of the Hundred say. 



THE LAND OF THE CHURCH OF 



BARKING 



IN AMELEBRIGE [EMLEYBRIDGE] HUNDRED

THE LAND OF ST. PAUL OF 

 LONDON 



IN BRIXISTAN [BRIXTON] HUNDRED 



XIII. The Canons of St. Paul of London hold 



6 No doubt in the Upper Green Sand, of 

 Malmstone or Firestone, as it is locally called. 



7 Brameselle is not certainly recoverable. 

 It may be represented by Broomland in 

 Titsey, a farm. 



3 Weston, in Thames Ditton, which 

 belonged to the Nunnery at Barking till 

 shortly before the Dissolution, when Henry 

 VIII. bought it to add to the Honour of 

 Hampton Court. 



9 Not known where. A manor in Wands- 

 worth had the alternative names of Alfarthing 

 or Barking Fee ; but it is in Brixton Hundred, 

 and is not recorded as Barking property. 

 i.e. 13 shillings and 4 pence.
