THE HOLDERS OF LANDS 



shillings and 2 pence/ and 4 acres of meadow. 

 From the pannage of the wood(land come) 60 

 swine. There (are) 6 serfs. 



Of this land Gilbert holds half a hide, 

 Ralph I hide, William 3 virgates, Lewin half 

 a hide, and he {qui) could betake himself else- 

 where [recedere) with his land and gave geld 

 to his lord and his lord gave nothing." These 

 men have 4 villeins and 2 bordars with 2i 

 ploughs, and 7 acres of meadow, and wood- 

 (land) yielding [de) 10 swine. 



The whole manor in the time of King Ed- 

 ward was worth 50 pounds, and afterwards 

 50 pounds. Now William's demesne (is 

 worth) 50 pounds and 5 shillings, (that) of the 

 knights 50 shillings and 12 pence. Yet this 

 manor was farmed for ( fuit ad firmam ad) 1 00 

 pounds. 



William himself holds Staninges [Stey- 

 ning ^]. King Edward held it as part of 

 (the sources of) his ferm {ad suam firmam). 

 Then it was assessed for 18 hides and 3 vir- 

 gates. It has never paid geld. Of these 

 hides William has 12 hides, the others are in 

 the rape of Earl Roger attached to {in) Gar- 

 inges [Goring].* In the hides which William 

 has there is land for 21 ploughs. On the de- 

 mesne are 2 ploughs, and (there are) 45 vil- 

 leins and 33 bordars with 18 ploughs. There 

 (is) I mill unrented {sine censu), and 3 saltpans 

 yielding {de) 30 pence, and 5 acres of mea- 

 dow. Wood(land yielding) 20 swine from 

 the pannage. 



In the time of King Edward it was worth 

 28 pounds, and afterwards 20 pounds ; now 

 25 pounds. 



William himself holds Findune [Findon]. 

 Harold held it in the time of King Edward. 

 Then it was assessed for 30^ hides. Of 

 these 10 hides are in the rape of Earl Roger.^ 

 The others have not paid geld, except 3 hides. 

 There is land for 1 7 ploughs. On the de- 



' As this shows the value of an amber of salt to 

 be one penny it enables us to estimate the annual 

 output of the saltpans throughout the county. 



2 This is a remarkable phrase, and has consider- 

 able importance in connection with the question 

 of geld liability. (See Introd. p. 361.) 



3 See note 2, p. 392. 



* These 6 hides were the ' berewick ' of King 

 Edward mentioned under Goring (see note I, 

 p. 430). 



5 These I cannot trace ; but as the only men- 

 tion of land held by Harold in Earl Roger's rape 

 is in Avisford Hundred, where there are a number 

 of nameless holdings, it is not unlikely that the 10 

 hides lay in that Hundred. Another 6 hides be- 

 longing to Findon now formed the manor of 

 Tottington (see p. 444). 



mesne are 3 ploughs ; and (there arc) 27 vil-

 hides, and (there are) 2 ploughs on (his) de- 

 mesne, and (there are) 2 villeins and 6 bordars

The whole in the time of King Edward 

 was worth 28 pounds, and afterwards 20 

 pounds ; now 28 pounds and 10 shillings. 



William himself holds Semlintun [Sulling- 

 ton]. Ulward held it of King Edward. 

 Then it was assessed for 9 hides ; now for 4
