NOTES TO DOMESDAY MAP 



(Compiled by F. W. RAGG, M.A., with notes by d. HORACE 

 ROUND, M.A.) 



IN this map those manors in which the king had an interest 

 are given in red capital letters, those of the Bishop of Bayeux 

 in small red type, and those of Walter Gifard in black capitals. 

 In the case of manors in which both the king, or bishop, and 

 Walter Gifard had an interest, the names are printed in red 

 but underlined in black. The boundaries of the Hundreds 

 cannot be shown, but their Domesday names will be found on 

 the map together with reference letters. Though the name of 

 a manor or of a Hundred is often given in more than one form 

 by the survey, only one of these can be here shown. The 

 modern river names have been given for the convenience of the 

 reader. 



The relative sparseness of names in the district of the Chil- 

 tern Hills, in which long lingered great heaths and commons, 

 should be observed on the map.

The positions of the vills which gave their names to the 

 Hundreds of Coteslai and Erlai are indicated on the map by 

 crosses, although they are not mentioned in Domesday. 



When, through the omission of the heading, avill seems to 

 be placed in the wrong Hundred, the letter denoting that Hun- 

 dred is added in parentheses.
