It will be noticed that among the tenants of this manor there 

 were freemen and sokemen who had tenants under them. In 

 Moulton and in Shelton holdings of this sort apparently developed 

 into distinct manors, but in other cases there was no such develop- 

 ment-. What was the relation to Forncett manor of the bordiers and 

 villeins who were under free tenants and sokemen ? To this question 

 the later Forncett records suggest an answer. 



From these records it appears that there were two classes of 

 unfree tenants connected with the manor : 



(a) The ' customers,' who rendered week-work throughout the 

 year, 



(b) Bond sokemen, who were in general exempt from week-work
