i This manor appears in the Testa (pp. 121, 

 1 26) where it is ' Asseden ' or ' Esseden ' as 

 held with Kingston and Compton by the Bachepuz 

 family, of Ferrers. Kingston is accounted for under 

 this fief in Domesday (see below), but Compton is 

 not. I conclude, therefore, that this ' Assedone ' 

 included the Ferrers holding in Compton, which 

 adjoined East Ilsley in Compton Hundred. See 

 Ancestor, No. 12. (J.H.R.). 



This was Ralf de Bachepuz (J.H.R.) 



Now in the Hundred of Faircross. 



"> This was Siward Barn, an English noble, 

 who survived the Conquest, and much of whose 

 land Henry obtained (J.H.R.).
