Robert de Watevile holds of Richard a 

 manor 1 which Azor held of king Edward. It

 hides. The land is for 4 ploughs. In 

 demesne there are 2 ploughs ; and (there are) 

 1 1 villeins and 7 bordars with 3 ploughs. 

 Wood (worth) 5 hogs from the pannage. There 

 is a church. In the time of king Edward, 

 and now, it (was and) is worth 7 pounds ;

The same Robert holds of Richard CHELES- 

 HAM [Chelsham].* Tochi held it of king 

 Edward. It was then assessed for 10 hides ; 

 now for 2 hides. The land is for 4 ploughs. 

 In demesne there are 2 ; and (there are) 1 1 

 villeins and 7 bordars with 4 ploughs. There 

 is a church, and 3 serfs. In the time of king 

 Edward and now it (was and) is worth 7 

 pounds. When he received it, 4 pounds. 



The same Robert holds of Richard FERLEGA 



1 Probably Warlingham, but possibly Cater- 

 ham. Ralph, Earl of Stafford, who had married 

 the daughter of one of the co-heiresses of the 

 De Clares, representatives of Richard de Tone- 

 brige, died in 1372 seised, inter alia, of the 

 fee of Caterham and of Porkele in Caterham 

 parish. But in the reign of king John, Roger 

 de Gaist had a manor of Caterham, and gave 

 the church of St. Leonard at Caterham to 

 the abbey of Waltham (charter cited in 

 Dugdale). The church at Caterham was 

 afterwards known as St. Lawrence. 



William de Watvile, and Robert his son, 

 gave the manor of Warlingham to the Priory 

 of Bermondsey in 1144, and William or 

 Robert de Watvile, with the consent of his 

 sons, the churches of Warlingham and 

 Chelsham to the same Priory in 1158 

 (Dugdale). This distinct connexion of the 

 De Watviles with Warlingham makes it more 

 probable that this nameless manor is Warling- 

 ham. But the fact that the De Clares were 

 overlords of all three places Chelsham, 

 Caterham and Warlingham makes the 

 identification uncertain, but less important. 



* Perhaps Chelsham Court ; see Celesham 

 above.
