1 See 30^ b. 2, under Mortlake. Barnes 

 parish was a peculiar of the See of Canter- 

 bury. 



8 The form of this entry is unusual. It 

 nowhere exactly asserts that the church of 

 Lambeth was the holder of the manor ; only 

 in the final words that the Bishop of Bayeux 

 had annexed some land which formerly was 

 attached to the church. There is no holder 

 ' on the day when king Edward was alive and 

 dead,' for Countess Goda died 10 years before 

 him, in 1056 (V Art de Verifier les Dates, 

 II. 762). The Rochester Registers, near the 

 beginning, say that part of Lambeth was 

 granted to Rochester by Eustace, Goda's 

 husband. Henry I.'s charter to Rochester, 

 quoted by Dugdale, says that Lambeth had 

 formerly belonged to Rochester, had been 

 taken away, and restored again. See below 

 for another manor in Lambeth. 



8 Goda, or Godgifu, sister to king Edward, 

 wife of Eustace II. of Boulogne.

4 Eustace, Count of Boulogne. Mr. Free- 

 man, Norman Conquest, vol. iv., Appendix N., 

 was misled by a mistake of Sir Henry Ellis in 

 supposing that Eustace II. was certainly dead 

 in 1086.
