* Part of Esher ; see other manors, or 

 parts of manors, held by the Bishop of 

 Bayeux, the Abbey of Chertsey, and the 

 Church of the Cross of St. Leutfred under 

 the same name. This might be Sandon (vulg. 

 Sandown) in Esher, but there is no certainty.

 Moulsey. In 121217 Samson de Moulsey 

 held half Moulsey by tenure of providing a

 or 2 hawks, and this by grant of the Abbot, 

 brother to Oswold, for the battle, to wit, 

 which he ought to have fought against 

 Geoffrey the Little. 6 



IN COPEDEDORNE [CoPTHORNE] HUNDRED 



Seman holds i virgate of land which he 

 held of king Edward. But from the time 

 when king William came into England he

* Pechingeorde is not certainly known. 

 The name occurs in Chertsey charters of 

 A.D. 812 and 1062 as belonging to the 

 Abbey. Oswold, we may remember, was 

 brother to the Abbot. Now, Pickets Hole, 

 on the edge of the chalk downs, about half 

 way between Effingham village and Wotton 

 House, may preserve the name. The later 

 manor of Polesden would be then included 

 in it, and Oswold would hold a compact 

 estate from Effingham to Wotton.
