 bovates of land (assessed) to the geld. (There 

 is) land for 6 oxen. There 2 villeins have I 

 plough and I acre of meadow. Wood(land)

the present holding of jf bovates together amount 

 to 4 carucates. The ' woodland for pannage ' 

 appears to have been divided between each owner 

 in proportion (roughly) to his assessment ; thus 

 Nigel had exactly a quarter, and the abbey one- 

 fifth, which was rather more than its proportionate 

 share. It may also be noted that the ' silva ifsius 

 manerii ' of this passage is equated on page 352 

 by ' silva eiusdem ville.' Vill and manor thus 

 seem to be convertible terms.
