 and 30 acres of meadow. Wood(land), for 

 pannage in places, 4 leagues and 2 furlongs

 (tabula). Now they render IO pounds and 

 6 shillings. William Pevrel has charge of

 FELD [Hayfield] Eilmer (had) 4 bovates of

M. In BEGELIE [Beeley] Godric had 6

L The neat assessment of the five manors on 

 page 33 1 on a duodecimal system and the fact that 

 Bakewcll is here assessed at 18 carucates may 

 suggest that traces of the same system should be 

 found in the cases of Ashford and Hope. If the 

 original assessment of Ashford be taken as 24 caru- 

 cates (instead of 23) and that of Hope as 12 caru- 

 cates (instead of 10) the total assessment of these 

 three manors will stand at 54 carucates and thus 

 exactly balance the assessment of the five western 

 manors. Many possible causes would account for 

 the loss of the 3 carucates here the omission of 

 carucates exempt from geld is perhaps the most 

 probable.

 with Charlesworth and Chunal is evident, but the 

 roots and terminations of these names appear to 

 have been interchanged, as Ceol- is equivalent to
