THE HOLDERS OF LANDS 



Gotil as a manor and as 80 acres, in King 

 Edward's time, is held of Hamo by the same 

 (Ralf). Then 2 bordars ; now 5. Then i 

 plough ; now none ; but there could be (one) 

 there. (There is) wood(land) for 50 swine, 

 (and) 2 acres of meadow. It was then worth

KALENDUNA [Kelvedon (Hatch) *], which 

 was held by Leueva as I hide and 45 acres 

 and as I manor, is held of Hamo by Ralf. 

 And Hamo says that he has that land as part 

 of his fief (in suo feuda). Then 2 villeins ; 

 now i. Then 2 bordars ; now 7. Then 2 

 serfs ; now I . Then 2 ploughs on the 

 demesne; now i^. Then the men had i 

 plough among them ; now a half. (There is) 

 wood(land) for 2O swine, (and) 17 acres of 

 meadow. It was then worth 30 shillings ; 

 and when he received (it), 2O ; now 35 shil- 

 lings. 



NORTUNA [Norton (Mandeville)], which 

 was held by Gotil as a manor and as i ^ hides 

 and 1 5 acres,* is held of Hamo by Wimund. 

 Then 4 villeins ; now 6. Then as now 

 (semper) 4 bordars and 4 serfs. Then 2

HUNDRET OF TuRESTAPLA [THURSTABLE] 



TOTEHAM [(Great) Totham], which was 

 held by Turbert as i manor and as 5 hides in 

 King Edward's time, is held of Hamo by 

 Richard. Then 10 villeins ; now 9. Then 



553~5) which suggests thas he held other land 

 there. The presence or absence of the initial 

 ' N ' is of little consequence in Domesday. 



1 Kelvedon Hatch adjoins Navestock, and is 

 separated to the north from Norton Mandeville 

 (the subject of the next entry) by Stondon Marci 

 (now corruptly ' Massey '). I believe this Stondon 

 (which is said not to be mentioned in Domesday) 

 was comprised in the above ' Kalenduna' entry. It 

 is difficult to trace any succession to Hamo or his 

 tenants at Kelvedon or Norton ; but this remark, 

 one must add, applies also to Stondon, though its 

 suffix ' Marci ' seems decisive. 



This virtually identifies the Gotil,' ' Got!,' 

 or 'Gotild' of these entries with the ' Godid 

 quedem femina ' who had given half a hide at 

 Norton to the canons of St. Paul's since the coming 

 of King William (see p. 443 above).

 the case of Gestingthorpe (see p. 354 above). 



4 The mention of ' maresc ' is most exceptional. 

 This marsh may have been caused by the two 

 small streams which here flow into the Chelmer.
