 of his own sons, for (the benefit of) his soul,

1 Coundon and Cubbington, subsequently appear- 

 ing in the leet of Stoneleigh, were doubtless in the 

 Domesday Hundred of Stanlei." 



3 Most probably Southam, the ' c ' being a mis- 

 script for ' t.' Appearing afterward in Marlon 

 Leet, it was doubtless in the Domesday Hundred 

 of ' Meretone.' 



3 This is not one of the rubricated paragraphs 

 describing an estate of the abbey, but is a note at 

 the foot of a column. See the entry relating to 

 'Cliptone' under the head of Earl Aubrey's estates, 

 where the statement is repeated in a side-note.

 is contiguous and was formerly parochially depen- 

 dent on it, and contains 3,600 acres. Even so 

 the assessment is severe.
