1 Alias Kingsford. 



J Coming between Amington and Seckington, 

 which are two adjoining parishes in Hemlingford 

 Hundred, I thought that ' Cintone ' would be a 

 neighbouring place in the same hundred, and 

 as Kington, which with Lyndon formed a mem- 

 ber of Bickenhill, is in the same hundred and 

 in Turchil's territory, and is found at an early date 

 in the hands of the Mountforts of Beaudesert, who 

 somehow acquired a considerable portion of the 

 Corbucion estates, I have little doubt that the 

 identification here made is correct. Dugdale (p. 

 553) seems to identify this 'Cintone' with Kineton, 

 but evidently distrusts (p. 431) his own sugges- 

 tion. (There is however nothing to connect 

 William or his heirs with the above place. 

 J.H.R.) 



3 Doubtless in ' Coleshelle ' Hundred, being after- 

 ward in Hemlingford Hundred. 



* The leaf is injured here. 



in the same vill [HUNINGEHAM] 8 and half 

 a virgate of land. 8 There is land for 3 

 ploughs. In the demesne is I, with i serf; 

 and (there are) 3 villeins and 5 bordars with 2 

 ploughs. There are 6 acres of meadow. It 

 was and is worth 30 shillings. Saulf held it 

 freely. 



IN STANLEI [STONELEIGH] HUNDRET 



From W(illiam), Johais holds 2j virgates of 

 land in WESTONE [Weston under Wetherley]. 7 

 There is land for ij ploughs. In the de- 

 mesne is I with I villein and I bordar. 

 There are I O acres of meadow. It was and 

 is worth 10 shillings. Sawold held it freely. 



From W(illiam), Roger holds I virgate of 

 land in CONDELME [Coundon]. 8 There is 

 land for i plough. There are 2 bordars. 

 Wood(Iand) half a league long and 4 fur- 

 longs broad. It was worth 5 shillings ; now 

 4 shillings. 



IN BERRICESTONE [BARCHESTON] HUNDRET 



From W(illiam), Johais holds 2^ hides in 

 BERRICESTONE [Barcheston]. There is land 

 for 3^ ploughs. In the demesne are 2 ; and 

 (there are) 5 villeins and 7 bordars with ij 

 ploughs. There is a mill worth (de) 100 

 pence, and 1 2 acres of meadow. It was worth 

 40 shillings ; now 50 shillings. Wiching held 

 it freely T.R.E. 



From W(illiam), Geoffrey holds I hide in 

 MAPELBERGE [Mappleborough in Studley]. 9 

 There is land for 3 ploughs. In the demesne 

 is i with i serf; and (there are) 2 villeins 

 with i plough. There are 10 acres of 

 meadow. Wood(land) I furlong long and I 

 broad. It was worth 2O shillings ; now 1 5 

 shillings. Leuiet held it freely. 



6 Honingham (now Hunningham), which ap- 

 pears afterward in Marton Leet, was doubtless in 

 the Domesday Hundred of ' Meretone.' 



8 i.e. if hides in all. 



7 The identification seems clear, for this Weston 

 afterward appears in Stoneleigh Leet. The \\ vir- 

 gates held here by Robert under Turchil, together 

 with these 2\ virgates, make up a i-hide estate, in 

 addition to which Robert also held here an estate 

 of 3 hides less one-third of a virgate under the 

 Count of Meulan. 



8 Coundon afterward in Stoneleigh Leet was 

 doubtless in the Domesday Hundred of ' Stanlei.' 

 The one virgate of this estate together with the 

 three virgates held here by the Church of 

 Coventry make it a i-hide place. 



Mappleborough was, no doubt, like Studley, in 

 ' Fernecumbe ' Hundred.
