A HISTORY OF DORSET 



manor, Pulham, for his lifetime.'' He is presumably identical with Alvred of Lincoln 

 who gave Bruge{s) near Weymouth (probably Brigatn, held by the wife of Hugh in 1086) 

 to JNIontacute Priory.^ Robert of Lincoln, Alvred's son, founded the priory of Holme, 

 as a cell of Montacute, and among his donations were 3 virgates in Worth Matravers 

 (nos. 417 and cl), the tithes of Langton near Abbotsbur)-, that is, Langton Herring 

 (nos. 406 and cxxxix), and the tithes of Okeford Fitzpaine (no. 64), which the wife of 

 Hugh held of Glastonbury Abbey in 1086. He also gave one tribute of salt from the 

 salt-cotes at Langton.^ Robert's son, another Alvred of Lincoln, confirmed his father's 

 grant, and added the church of Warmwell (nos. 410 and cxliii) and a garden near 

 Bradle, which is probably the wife of Hugh's manor of Orchard (nos. 422 and civ)."** 

 Alvred returned a carta in 1 166," when among his knights were three who seem to have 

 been kinsmen of men holding of the wife of Hugh in 1086: William de monaster its was 

 probably related to the man of the same name holding of the wife of Hugh ; Alvred 

 Tonarre was probably a kinsman of Walter Tonitruus, and Terry de Boscherbert 

 {Bosco Herberti) of Hugh de Boscherbert. This Alvred of Lincoln was appointed 

 Sheriff of Dorset in 1 170 following the inquest of sheriiTs.'- His son and heir was Alvred 

 of Lincoln (HI) who in 1212 held Sturthill, Langton, Tatton, and Lyme, all held by the 

 wife of Hugh in 1086, and part of Buckland Newton, which she held of the Abbot of 

 Glastonbury.'-^ The Glastonbur}^ feodary furnishes a list of the possessions which the 

 family of Lincoln held of that abbev,'^ which includes Dontyssh and Hermyugs-zieU in 

 Buckland, assessed at 7 hides, i\ virgate, Damerham (Hants), assessed at 3 hides, 

 Woodvates, assessed at 4 hides, Okeford Fitzpaine, assessed at 8 hides, land at Stur- 

 minster Newton, and Colway between Uplyme in Devon and Netherlyme in Dorset. 

 In 1086 the wife of Hugh held of the abbey 7 hides, li virgate, in Buckland, Damerham, 

 Woodyates, and 4 hides in Okeford Fitzpaine. She held no land at Sturminster Newton, 

 and Colway, now part of Lyme Regis, must be the manor of Lym (no. 68) held by 

 Ulviet of Glastonbun,' Abbey. Alvred of Lincoln (IV) succeeded to the estates and died 

 in 1264 without male heirs. His land passed to his 3 sisters and their heirs. '^ Robert fitz 

 Paine, son of Margery of Lincoln, received Okeford, William de Goviz, son of Beatrice 

 the second sister, received Turners Puddle, and the portion of the third sister, Aubrey, 

 passed on her death to the heirs of her sisters, with the exception of Langton, which she 

 gave to Ingram le Waleys, whence it derived the name Langton Wallis.'^ 



Roger Arundel was probably the father of Robert de Arundel, who witnessed 

 various charters of Henry I between 1 122 and 1 135 and was justice in eyre in the south- 

 west in 1 130.''' Robert in turn was probably the father of Roger Arundel who appears in 

 the Pipe Roll for 1161.'* It appears that Robert also had a daughter Maud, who 

 married Gerbert de Percy, Sheriff of Dorset.'^ Apparently she was her brother's heir 

 since in 11 65 Gerbert de Percy preferred 100 marks ^ro terra Rogerii Arundel. ~° In the 

 following year he returned a carta as a tenant-in-chief in Dorset. One of his knights,
