I-'rom this analysis it appears that in St Mary's, where the ratio 

 of servile messuages was largest, the ratio of land held by servile

 the smallest area of arable demesne. 



It is noteworthy that in each of these hamlets the percentage of 

 tenants' land held by servile tenure was smaller than the percentage 

 rvile messua
