The divided vill was quite a common feature in Dorset, where manors were mostly 

 small and hamlets more common than vills. Sometimes only one part of a divided vill is 

 recorded. William of Eu had i hide in Hiices (no. 258), but no one else is said to have 

 any land there, and the place is not otherwise mentioned. Similarly, the Count of 

 Mortain had 2 hides in Mannington (no. 186) and a mill and i hide of land in Sto- 

 borough (no. 201), but neither place occurs again. William Malbank had 3 hides in 

 Trill (no. 225), attached to Clifton Maybank, but Trill is not mentioned elsewhere. 

 About a quarter of the manors in Dorset in 1086 were parts of divided vills. A large 

 proportion of the manors amounted to no more than 2 or 3 hides, and even the large 

 manors were not as extensive as those in other south-western counties. Sherborne (no. 

 37), the largest manor in Dorset, was assessed at 43 hides, Piddletrenthide (no. 69) and 

 Sturminster Marshall (no. 232) were each assessed at 30 hides, and Sydling St. Nicholas 

 (no. 93) was assessed at 29 hides. Apart from these only 11 manors were assessed at 20
