A HISTORY OF SURREY 



There are 5 acres of meadow. In the time 

 of king Edward it was worth 10 pounds, 

 afterwards the like ; now 7 pounds and 10 

 shillings. The men say that Geoffrey has 

 this manor wrongfully, because it does not 

 belong to Asgar's land. 1 What Geoffrey gave 

 away in almoigne (per elemosinam) from this 

 manor is worth 20 shillings. 



IN WALETON [WALLINGTON] HUNDRED 



Geoffrey himself holds AULTONE [Cars- 

 halton]. 8 Five freemen (held it) of king Ed- 

 ward, and they could 'take what lord they 

 pleased (potuerunt ire quo volebant). Of these, 

 one held 2 hides, and four 6 hides apiece. 

 There were five manors. Now it is thrown 

 into i manor. It was then assessed for 27 

 hides ; 3 now for 3^ hides. The land is for 10 

 ploughs. In demesne there is i ; and (there 

 are) 9 villeins and 9 cottars with 5 ploughs. 

 There is a church ; and 7 serfs ; and 1 2 

 acres of meadow. The men of the county 

 and of the Hundred say that they have never 

 seen the writ or the livery officer who on the 

 King's behalf had given Geoffrey seisin of 

 this manor. In the time of king Edward it 

 was worth 20 pounds ; when he took seisin of 

 (saisivit) it, IOO shillings; now IO pounds. Of 

 these hides Wesman holds 6 hides of Geoffrey 

 son of Count Eustace. 4 Geoffrey de Mandeville 

 gave him (sc. Eustachii filio) this land with his 

 daughter. In demesne there is I plough ; 

 and (there are) 3 villeins and i cottar with 

 3 ploughs ; and a mill worth 35 shillings ; 

 and 3 serfs ; and i o acres of meadow. Wood 

 worth 2 hogs. The land is for 2 ploughs. In 

 the time of king Edward it was worth 4. 

 pounds, and afterwards 40 shillings, and now 

 no shillings. Of the same hides, a certain 

 smith of the King's has half a hide, which 

 in the time of king Edward he received with 

 his wife, but he has never done any service 

 for it. 



1 Geoffrey had evidently received a grant 

 of Asgar's land, which did not include Clap- 

 ham nor Wanborough (see below, and p. 284). 

 Clapham was De Mandeville land later. 



8 Carshalton, De Mandeville land later. 



3 But only 26 are accounted for just before 

 (J. H. R.). 



4 Geoffrey, son of the Count of Boulogne, 

 grandfather of Faramus of Boulogne, whose 

 heiress, Sibyl, married Enguerrand de Fiennes. 

 The De Fiennes family held land at Car- 

 shalton temp. Henry III. (See for details Mr. 

 Round's paper in Genealogist [N.S.], xii. 145- 

 151.) 



IN WOCHINGES [WOKING] HUNDRED 



Geoffrey himself holds WENEBERGE [Wan- 

 borough]. 6 It is no part of Asgar's land. 

 Suen and Lewin, 6 brothers, held it of king 

 Edward. It was then assessed for 7 hides ; 

 now for 3 hides. The land is for 7 ploughs. 

 There were two manors ; now it is one. In 

 demesne there is i plough ; and (there are) 

 12 villeins and 17 bordars with 8 ploughs. 

 There is a church ; and 8 serfs ; and 6 acres 

 of meadow. Wood worth 30 hogs. The 

 whole in the time of king Edward was worth 

 7 pounds ; afterwards 100 shillings ; now 7 

 pounds. 



IN WOCHINGES [WOKING] HUNDRED 



XXVI. Geoffrey Orlatele holds BELGE- 

 HAM 7 [Balham], without the King's gift and 

 without warrant. Anschil held it of earl 

 Harold. It was then assessed for 5 hides ; 

 now for nothing. The land is for 2 ploughs. 

 In demesne there is i ; and (there are) i vil- 

 lein and i bordar with half a plough. There 

 is I serf; and 8 acres of meadow. In the 

 time of king Edward it was worth 6 pounds, 

 afterwards 20 shillings ; now 40 shillings. 



THE LAND OF EDWARD 8 OF 

 SALISBURY 9 



IN AMELEBRIGE [EMLEYBRIDGE] HUNDRED 



XXVII. Edward of Salisbury (Sarisberien- 



6 Under Henry II. Geoffrey de Mandeville 

 confirmed by charter the sale of Wanborough 

 by Faramus of Boulogne to Waverley Abbey. 

 (Charter cited by Dugdale.) 



6 Scarcely Sweyn and Leofwine sons of 

 Godwine. The former was dead long before 

 1066, and the latter is always elsewhere 

 called Comes. 



7 Balham, probably. The entry is, in the 

 original, written in the margin, against the 

 De Mandeville lands. In 1103 a Nigel de 

 Mandeville granted land in Belgeham to the 

 Priory of Bermondsey, with consent of his 

 wife ; and in a grant to the Abbey of Bee 

 land in Belgeham is described as being part 

 of the manor of Clapham. 



(I think that the above Nigel was Nigel de 

 Mzmdevilla, living at the time, who married 

 the heiress of William d'Arques of Folkestone. 



-y. H. R.) 



8 Ancestor of the first earls of Salisbury. 



9 Sarisber[iensis].
