DUNILANDA [(East) Donyland] was held by 

 4 free men as i^ hides and 8 acres. Now 

 Iflbodo] holds (it). Then (they had) 2 ploughs 



1 This entry is not given by Morant under Ard- 

 leigh, to which however it clearly belongs. The 

 normal Domesday form of Ardleigh was ' Erleia,' 

 but ' Erlega ' occurs. The initial ' D ' is found also 

 in ' Dorseda,' the Domesday form of Orsett, and at 

 Ardleigh itself on p. 541 above, where a manor of 

 Ranulf brother of Ilger there is entered as ' Der- 

 leia.' 



* The holding has not been identified. 



Probably identical with Ilbodus, who held a 

 manor in Oxfordshire as a tenant-in-chief, for the 

 name is a rare one. He is mentioned under the 

 king's manor of Witham (p. 429 above). 



4 One of the small estates there entered in 

 Domesday. 



8 i.e. at the same assessment. 



This appears to be the right rendering. 



7 Either the manor of Over Hall or that of 

 Netherhall there. Each of them is assessed in 

 Domesday at \ hide, and each had 30 acres of 

 meadow and a moiety of the mill, and the same 

 number of ploughs on the land. There had 

 evidently therefore been a partition not long 

 before the Conquest (see p. 552 above).

among them ; now i plough. (There are) 

 now 3 bordars. (There are) 2 acres of meadow. 

 It was then worth 10 shillings ; now 7. 



LXX. THE LAND OF H(A)GHEBERN 8 

 HUNDRET OF BERDESTAPLA [BARSTABLB] 



NEZENDENA [Newenden 9 ] was held by Tovi', 

 a tree man, as 54 acres in King Edward's 

 tjme. Then i plough ; now none. It was 

 then worth 10 shillings ; now 3 shillings and 

 4 pence. 



DUNILANDA [(East) Donyland] was held by 

 Moduin' 10 as half a hide and 12 acres. Now 

 Haghebert (sic) holds (it) for as much. 11 Then 

 as now (semper) 2 bordars (were there). Then 

 I plough ; now none. It was then worth 

 14 shillings; now 10. 



RAiNEHAM[Rainham 1S ] was held freely by 

 a priest as half a hide. Now Hag[hebern] 

 holds (it). Then half a plough ; now none. 

 It is worth 10 shillings. 



LXXI. THE LAND OF THIERRI 

 (TEDRICI) POINTEL 18 



TILIBERIA [Tilbury 14 ], which was held 

 by a free man as a manor and (as) 45 acres 

 in King Edward's time, is held of Thierri 

 (Tedrico) by Hunald'. Then as now (semper) 

 half a plough and I bordar ; and (there are) 

 4 acres of meadow. (There is) pasture for 



8 He is mentioned under the king's manor of 

 Lawford (p. 435 above) as holding an estate ap- 

 purtenant to it. 



9 Now corruptly 'Nevendon.' This was one 

 of the two manors there. 



10 See p. 560, note 10, above. 



11 i.e. at the same assessment. 



J * One of the smaller manors there. 



1S He occurs under several of the king's manors 

 in Essex, having held land at Renflcet, Latchingdon 

 and Lawford, and still holding an estate belonging 

 to Witham, and claiming one in Dengie Hundred 

 'fro escatigio.' He was also, doubtless, the ' Poin- 

 tellus' who held, in that Hundred, under Ralf 

 Bainard at Woodham Walter and ' Curlai ' (com- 

 pare p. 522, note 5, above), and the ' Pointel ' 

 who held under the Bishop of Bayeux at Cricksea 

 a,nd at Wheatley in Rayleigh. He will further be 

 met with below in the section ' Invasio Tedrici 

 Puintel,' where further acts of annexation on his 

 part are recorded at Thurrock, Burnham (adjoin- 

 ing Cricksea), Paglesham (opposite Cricksea), Little 

 Stambridge (adjoining Paglesham), etc. 



14 The mention of ' pasture for sheep ' proves 

 that this was Tilbury on the Thames, not Tilbury 

 by Clare. The identity of this small manor i 

 doubtful.
