 now 14 pounds. 



The same Richard has six hides in the 

 manor of EBSA (Apps Court), 1 which Abbot 

 Wulfwold delivered to him in augmentation 

 of WALETONE [Walton Leigh] as Richard's 

 homagers say. But the men of the Hundred 

 say that they have never seen the King's writ 

 or livery officer who had given him seisin 

 thereof. Nine thegn? held this land, and they 

 could seek for it and for themselves what 

 lord they pleased (cum fa se poterant vertere 

 quo volebant). There are 10 villeins and 6 

 cottars with 4 ' cot'.' 2 There are 2 serfs ; 

 and 46 acres of meadow. Wood worth 6 hogs.

 pounds, and afterwards 40 shillings ; now 4 

 pounds. 



In EBSA [Apps Court] a villein holds half

 Richard's homagers 30 pence for rent (de 

 gablo). Now it remains undisputed (remanet 

 quieta) in the King's hand. 



And Picot holds of Richard in EBSA [Apps 

 Court] half a hide which jElmar held with- 

 out gift of the King ; now Picot holds it

 holds of Richard in Ebsa [Apps Court] half a 

 hide which ./Elmar held in the time of king 

 Edward, and could put under what lord he 

 pleased (cum ea potuit ire quolibet). Now it is 

 worth 12 shillings.

 for catagiis (probably the former. J. H. R.). 



8 Both these entries must refer to parts of 

 Moulsey Prior. West Moulsey is accounted 

 for below (36, b. ii.). Between 1129 and 

 1135 Engelram d'Abernon granted this 

 manor to Merton Priory, and the grant was 

 confirmed by Gilbert de Clare as overlord. 



* One of the only two cases in Emley- 

 bridge Hundred where bordars occur instead 

 of cottars ; Weybridge, held by the Bishop 

 of Bayeux, is the other. Both places are on 

 the frontier of the Hundred.

 In the time of king Edward it was worth 3

In the same Driteham there are i hides 

 which Alvric held of king Edward as a 

 manor, and he afterwards gave that land to 

 the church of Certesy [Chertsey] for his wife 



6 Driteham is not certainly known. The 

 name occurs in a charter to Chertsey in A.D. 

 987. It must apparently have been in the 

 northern part of the small Effingham Hun- 

 dred ; the rest being accounted for otherwise.
