 Godfrey' holds of William Herbertinges 

 [Herpingden].- Alnod held it in the time of 

 King Edward, and could betake himself [he)

• The entires in this rape attributed to God- 

 frey are to be ascribed to Godfrey de Pierpoint. 

 At ' Herbertinges ' William de Herbertinges gave 

 land to Lewes Priory by leave of William de Pier- 

 point his lord. 



2 A manor in Piddinghoe. 



3 There is a hamlet called Harebeating in the 

 parish of Hailsham, and as the latter was a manor 

 of Alnod's (see p. 416) this half hide probably lay 

 there. 



* A sixteenth century rental of Portslade manor 

 shows that ' Harpetinge alias Harpingedene in 

 Pedinghoo ' then belonged to that manor, as did 

 also certain tenements in Keere Street, Lewes, 

 which are still held of the manor of Portslade ; 

 as no haws are recorded in Domesday as attached 

 to the latter manor, it is probable that the houses 

 in Keere Street are on the site of the haws be- 

 longing to Herbertinges. 



5 Nigel gave to Lewes Priory land in Orlaues- 

 wica, which is shown by the Lewes Chartulary to 

 have been near Herbertinges, and must be identical 

 with this Laneswice — n and a being often confused 

 (compare note 8, p. 413). Orleswick is found in 

 an eighteenth century rental of Swanborough manor, 

 but the name is now lost.

8 Of the places named under this heading 

 Brighton is in Whalesbone Hundred, and the 

 others are all in Youngsmere, which latter is also 

 called in Domesday, Falemere Hundred. It is 

 possible that part of Welesmere was formed into 

 the Hundred of Whalesbone and the remainder 

 united with Falemere to form Youngsmere. In 

 the Pladta Corone for 1248 ' Whallesbon' appears 

 and Youngsmere is called both ' Iwonesmcre ' and 

 ' Hywelesmerc.' 



' Hugh fitz-Golde gave the tithe of his land in 

 Rottingdean to Lewes Priory.
