ANGRA [(High) Ongar], which was held by

 plough on the demesne. (There is) wood- 

 (land) for 200 swine, (and) 8 acres of meadow.

HUNDRET OF CEFFEORDA [CHAFFORD] 



AVILEIA [Aveley] was held freely (libere) by 

 Suan' as a manor and as 3^ hides in King 

 Edward's time ; now John holds it in de- 

 mesne as the same amount (pro tantundem). 

 Then 8 villeins ; now 6. Then 3 bordars ; 

 now 5. Then 4 serfs; now I. Then 2 

 ploughs on the demesne ; now i. Then 

 among the men (were) 3 ploughs ; now 2. 

 (There are) 60 acres of meadow. Then and 

 afterwards it was worth 8 pounds ; now i oo 

 shillings. And a certain free man, Ulsi', held 

 half a hide, which he had power to sell ; but 

 Waleram, 7 father of John, added him (eum) to 

 this manor ; then as now (semper) I villein 

 and I bordar (were there) ; then half a 

 plough ; now no oxen (nichil) ; it was then 



fo. 85 



worth 1O shillings, and when received (sic), 

 the same ; it is now worth 7 shillings. 



1 i.e. the portion of it which lies in Hinckford 

 Hundred (see Introduction, p. 408). 



* It seems clear that the Tanis were John's 

 successors both here and at Aveley. 



8 This was doubtless the ' Roger' who gave its 

 tithes to Bermondsey, with John's consent, in 

 1 094 (compare my note on ' Fyfield church ' in 

 Enex Arch. Sac. [n.s.J viii. 104). 



* This word is sometimes used to distinguish 

 two adjacent parishes of the same name ; but it 

 seems here only to distinguish one manor in the 

 parish from another (compare Introduction, pp. 

 402-3). 



8 It is not improbable that this estate represents 

 the ' 30 acres ' entered under the royal manor of 

 Havering (p. 430 above) as having been held by a 

 sokeman who had rendered dues to it, but as being 

 in John's hands at the time of the Survey. For 

 under the next fief we find entered an even more 

 distant appendage of Havering, though its former 

 connexion with that manor is there also ignored 

 (p. 546, note 7, below).

XLI. THE LAND OF ROBERT SON 

 OF CORBUTIO 8 



HUNDRET OF BERDESTAPLA [BARSTABLE] 



DODDENHENC [Doddinghurst], which was 

 held freely (litere) by Alvric* as a manor and 

 as I hide and 17 acres in King Edward's 

 time, is held of R[obert] by Girard'. Then 

 as now (semper) I plough. (There is) wood- 

 (land) for 20 swine. It is worth 20 shillings. 



Therefore it is clearly the 'Little Ongar' 

 (parva Angra) which ' was of the barony of 

 Gilbert de Tani ' (Testa de NeviU, p. 269), who 

 must have succeeded John there as at Fyfield. 



7 He gave the tithe of his lands here to St. 

 Stephen's of Caen (see Introduction, p. 342. And, 

 for his doings in the county, see p. 419 above). 



A tenant-in-chief in the three eastern counties.
