1 See note 3 on p. 309. 



3 See note 6 on p. 322. We are not now, I think, 

 in 'Meretone' Hundred, so this cannot be Church 

 Lawford. 



3 I do not feel certain of this identification, 

 though I think it is more probable than any other. 

 Robert de Olgi was tenant in chief of a ' Merstone ' 

 in Coleshill Hundred, but it would be rather 

 strange for one place in Coleshill Hundred to be 

 inserted among these places, all of which are after- 

 ward found in Knightlow Hundred. 



4 This is the first of eight successive places which 

 all appear afterward in Stoneleigh Leet and were 

 doubtless in the Domesday Hundred of ' Stanlei.' 



From T(urchil) Hadulf holds in BILNEI 

 [Binley] 5 2 hides. There is land for 3 

 ploughs. In the demesne is i ; and (there are) 

 5 villeins and 7 bordars with 2 ploughs. 

 There are 2 serfs, and a mill worth (de) 40 

 pence, and 8 acres of meadow; wood(land) 4 

 furlongs long and 2 furlongs broad. It was 

 worth 20 shillings ; now 35 shillings. The 

 same man held it who now holds it. 



From T(urchil) Robert holds in WESTONE 

 [Weston under Wetherley] 8 i$ virgates of 

 land. There is land for half a plough. It is 

 waste (vasta). There are 4 acres of meadow. 

 It was worth 6 shillings ; now it brings in 

 (reddit) nothing. Ulwi held it freely. 



From T(urchil) Wlsi holds in BRANDUNE 

 [Brandon] half a hide. There is land for 4 

 ploughs. There are 10 villeins with i serf. 

 They have 3 ploughs. There is a mill 

 worth (de)2& pence, and 16 acres of meadow; 

 wood(land) 4 furlongs long and 2 furlongs 

 broad. It was worth 20 shillings ; now 25 

 shillings. Turchil held it freely. 



From T(urchil) R. de Olgi holds in LILLIN- 

 TONE [Lillington] half a hide. There is 

 land for half a plough, yet I (plough) is there 

 with 6 bordars and I bondwoman who have 

 another plough. There are 4 acres of mea- 

 dow. It was worth 10 shillings; now 20 

 shillings. Bruning held it freely. 



From T(urchil) Ermenfrid holds in REDE- 

 FORD [Radford Semele] * 5 hides. There is 

 land for 13 ploughs. In the demesne are 3 

 ploughs and 8 serfs ; and (there are) 19 villeins 

 and 8 bordars with 9 ploughs. There is a 

 mill worth (de) 6 shillings and 8 pence, and i 2 

 acres of meadow. It was worth 100 shil- 

 lings and afterwards 40 shillings ; now 6 

 pounds. Eduin held it freely T.R.E. 

 Ermenfrid bought it from Chetelbert by (the 

 king's) leave (licentia) and holds it of the king 

 in fee, as the king's writ testifies. 



8 See the note (on p. 304) to the previous entrj 

 relating to this place. The 3 hides there recorded, 

 with the 2 hides given here, make it a 5 hide 

 place. 



6 I have no doubt of this, for as we have seen 

 this is a list of places in ' Stanlei ' Hundred. This 

 Robert is doubtless the Robert who held another 

 part of this Weston under the Count of Meulan. 

 As to the total hidage see note 7, p. 333, relat- 

 ing to William Fitz Corbucion's holding here. 



7 I think this is correct, as it was a more impor- 

 tant place than Radford juxta Coventry, which 

 also, as Dugdale points out, was doubtless in the 

 hands of the church of Coventry.
