A HISTORY OF SUSSEX 



ploughs. There are 4 bordars with i ox, 

 and 2 saltpans yielding {de) 7 shillings. In 

 the time of King Edward it was worth no 

 shillings ; now 20 shillings. 



In this manor the count has kept in his 

 own hands [retinuit) 1 1 saltpans, which are 

 worth 24 shillings and 6 pence. 



Ansfrid holds of the count at Chenenolle 

 [ ^] 2 hides. There is land for 2 



ploughs. Tochi held (this) as an alod {shut 

 alodium). On the demesne is half a plough, 

 and (there is) I villein with half a plough, 

 and 5 acres of meadow. In the time of King 

 Edward (this) was worth 40 shillings ; now 

 15 shillings. 



The same Ansfrid holds of the count in 

 WiLENDONE [Willingdon] half a hide, and 

 for so much it is assessed. Leward held it as 

 an alod [sicut alodium). There is land for half 

 a plough. Then, as {et) now, it was worth 

 10 shillings. 



Godfrey the clerk holds in almoigne in 

 Palinges [Peeling] i hide, and there he has 

 2 bordars who return 8 pence. It is and was 

 worth 3 shillings. 



Roger the clerk holds i hide at Coonare 

 [Cudnor ^] in almoigne. There is land for 

 I plough, and there (the plough) is on the 

 demesne, with I bordar and i ox. Brictuin 

 held it. 



The same Roger holds at Horselie [Hor- 

 seye] i hide in almoigne of Saint Michael.^ 

 Clerks held it in common. There is land for 



1 plough. There is i villein with i plough, 



' This must be the land of Cnolla given by 

 Robert de Dene, who inherited Ansfrid's posses- 

 sions, to Lewes Priory, and is either Knolle near 

 Chilley or Knolle in the Hailsham portion of the 

 Lowey, both names being found in the sixteenth 

 century. 



2 In Westham. S.D.B. suggests Crannor in 

 Lamport manor, but even if this is within the 

 Lowey, Cudnor is closer in form to Coonare and 

 is historically much more important. I have never 

 met with Crannor in any document, while Cudnor 

 is of frequent occurrence. 



3 In the time of Edward the Confessor these 



2 hides, with the church of Eastbourne — in 

 which place this same Roger the cleric held land — 

 appear to have belonged to Fecamp Abbey. 

 Whether the original church of Eastbourne was 

 dedicated to St. Michael, or whether the reference 

 is to the chapel which is known to have existed at 

 a later date at Horseye, or to some other religious 

 establishment, is uncertain (see IntroJ. p. 376). 



These 2 hides then, as {et) now, were 

 assessed for so much. Then (they were worth) 

 10 shillings ; now 22 shillings. 



Walter holds of the count i hide, and for 

 so much it is assessed, Brictuin held it at 

 CooNORE [Cudnor]. There is land for half 

 a plough, and there (the half plough) is on the 

 demesne. It is worth 5 shillings. 



Ansfrid holds of the count at Orne [Horns, 

 near Pevensey] 2 hides, and for so much they 

 were assessed. Three men held them as an 

 alod {sicut alodium). There are 2 bordars 

 and 8 acres of meadow. In the time of 

 King Edward (this) was worth 25 shillings ; 

 now 10 shillings. 



Ranulf holds of the count at Orne [Horns] 

 I hide. * There is land for 2 ploughs. 



There is i bordar. Then it was worth 13 shil- 

 lings; now 63 pence. 



In Hou [Hooe] the count holds 4 saltpans 

 in demesne, which are worth 20 shillings. 



In Remecinges [Renchyng Hill in West- 

 ham] William^ and Ralph* and another 

 Ralph hold of the count 2 hides, and for so 

 much they are assessed. Two free men 

 held them as an alod {sicut alodium). There 

 is land for 4 ploughs. There (are) 2 villeins, 

 and I bordar, and 2 ploughing oxen. In 

 the time of King Edward (this) was worth 

 16 shillings; now 15 shillings. 



In Pellinges [Peeling in Westham] Alan 

 and Godfrey and Ansfrid and Roger hold 4

In Langelie [Langney] Rannulf holds of 

 the count 1 hide, and for so much it is 

 assessed. Lemar and Bricstan held it as an

" William de Cahaignes ; Hugh de Kahannes 

 gave 60 acres here to Lewes Priory. 



" Ralph de Dene, whose granddaughter's hus- 

 band, William Malfed, gave 120 acres here to 

 Lewes Priory. 



' William de Cahaignes, who gave i hide in 

 Langeney to Lewes Priory. This seems to be the
