(there are) 16 villeins and 14 cottars with 5 

 ploughs. There is a church ; and 5 serfs ; 



1 Possibly De Watevile. See p. 33 for 

 Chipstead, which was part of the De Clare 

 inheritance. It looks as if the Earl's tenant 

 had encroached upon the Abbey lands, and 

 then given up his claim. 



8 Of Winchester. 



3 Not named in the Sussex Survey. De 

 Clare land. There is a church there not 

 mentioned here, which has claims to date 

 from before the Conquest. 



* De Clare land later (Testa de Nevill). 



6 A blank in the MS. 



6 The manor called Home Beddington. 

 De Clare property. There was another 

 manor called Beddington Huscarle. See 36, 

 b. i below. 



and 2 mills worth 40 shillings ; and 24 acres 

 of meadow. Wood worth 5 hogs. Fifteen 

 houses in London, which belong to this 

 manor, pay 12 shillings and 3 pence. In

 it, 6 pounds. 



Richard himself holds in demesne ODE- 

 MERESTOR [Woodmansterne]. 7 Azor held it 

 of king Edward. Then and now it (was 

 and) is assessed for 1 5 hides, but it never paid 

 geld. The land is for 3 ploughs. In demesne 

 there are 2 ploughs ; and (there are) i villein

IN COPEDEDORNE [CoPTHORNE] HUNDRED 



John holds of Richard WALTONE [Walton- 

 on-the-Hill]. Alwin and Lefelm and Cole- 

 man held it of king Edward as 3 manors, and 

 they could take what lord they pleased 

 (potuerunt ire quo voluerunt) . It was then assessed 

 for 15 hides; now for 2 hides and half a virgate.

IN AMELEBRIGE [EMLEYBRIDGE] HUNDRED 



Richard himself holds of the King I hide, 

 which Almaer* held of king Edward, and he 



7 Woodmansterne subsequently belonged to 

 the De Clares. There could be no water mill 

 in the later parish of Woodmansterne, high up 

 on the chalk downs, with no stream ; and 

 wind mills did not exist in England in 1086. 

 See mills at Banstead and Chipstead also. I 

 am informed by Mr. F. A. H. Lambert of 

 Banstead, that the mill was probably on the 

 Wandle at Carshalton, where there seems to 

 have been land counted in Woodmansterne 

 manor, circa 1280, according to the charters 

 in possession of the Lamberts of Woodman- 

 sterne. The 1 8 serfs are the highest number 

 in any Surrey manor. 



8 Almar held Long Ditton (see below). 

 This hide was probably adjacent, but in the 

 next Hundred.
