then William of Falaise. Her lands passed to her children by her first marriage, and in 

 121 2 William fitz Martin held the manor of Puddle Waterston which Serle had held in 

 1086.^° The lands of William of Falaise passed to the family of Courcy as a result of his 

 daughter Emma's marriage with William de Curcy.*'' In 1236 Silton and Milton on 

 Stour, the two manors of William of Falaise in Dorset, were held by Margery de 

 Rivers, daughter of Alice de Curcy and Warin fitz Ceroid and widow of Baldwin de 

 Rivers.62 'Xhe Dorset lands of William of Briouze are less easy to trace but some at least 

 of his Dorset manors can be identified in the possession of his heirs in the 13th and 14th 

 centuries. In 1212 Henry de Glanville held i knight's fee in Buckland hundred de 

 honore de Bramele de conquestu Angliefi^ In 1303, in the same hundred, another Henry 

 de Glanville held Wolfrenewotto7i of William de Brewes,^'^ which identifies the manor 

 with Glanvilles Wootton (nos. 284, 285). The same Henry de Glanville held, in 1303, 

 Grough in the hundred of Rowbarrow and Hasilor.^s This can be identified as the manor 

 of Creech (no. 289), which William of Briouze held in 1 086. In 1 3 1 6 Henry de Glanville, 

 John Mohun, Richard Joye, William of Stoke, and the Abbot of Cerne held Wyrgered 

 cum Westeporte, Byestewall et Wolleberg.^^ Henry de Glanville can thus be shown to 

 have some connexion with Worgret, one of the manors of William of Briouze in 1086 

 (no. 293). Baldwin of Exeter manor of Iwerne Courtney (no. 316) was held in 1212 

 by Hawise de Courtenay of the honor of Okehampton.^^ The Courtenays were the 

 inheritors of most of the fief of Baldwin. "^^ The three Dorset manors of the Countess of 

 Boulogne passed to the Cluniac priory of Le Wast.^' King John gave Winterborne and 

 Bockhampton to Eustace le Moigne, who held them in 1 212 of the abbey. ^o It was pre- 

 sumably from Eustace or his descendants that Winterborne acquired the name of 

 Winterborne Monkton. Walter de Claville seems to have had a son, Robert, since in 

 1 1 14 Henry I confirmed to the church of St. Mary, Tewkesbury, two hides in Purbeck 

 of the fee of Robert de Claville, 'i which is probably to be identified with the manor of 

 Church Knowle (no. 332), assessed at two hides and held by Walter in 1086. In 1195 

 Richard de Sifrewast renounced his claim to 30 acres of wood at Morden, belonging to 

 Gillian de Claville, wife or William de Claville. 7- Morden (no. 314) belonged to 

 Walter in 1086. The descendants of kinsmen of Walter de Claville evidently became 

 tenants of the honor of Gloucester, since in 1285 William de Clavyle and John de 

 Clavyle held Holme and West Morden in the hundred of Hasilor and Rushmore of the 

 honor of Gloucester.73 Both manors were held by Walter de Claville in 1086. 



Schelin's manor of Shillingstone, or Shilling Okeford, passed to his son, Robert, 

 who gave -|- hide and half the church of Okeford Eskelin to Montacute Priory. He also 

 gave to the priory the tithe of Edmondsham, a manor which Schelin had held of the 

 queen.74 Schelin is to be identified with the man of the same name who held 5 hides in 

 Nategrave (Glos.) as a tenant of the church of Worcester, since in 1095 Robert son of 

 Skilin contributed ioo<r. to the Worcester relief. '5 It is too much of a coincidence that 



^° H. Maxwell-Lyte, 'Burci, Falaise and Martin', Proc. editors of Regesta identify the manor with Orchard, in

Charters (Som. Rec. Soc. Ixi), no. i) and an Emma de view of the mention of Robert de Claville in the charter, it 



Falaise is mentioned in the Pipe Roll for 11 30: Pipe R. seems more likely to have been one of Walter de Claville's 



1 130 (Rec. Com.), 22; see also Farrer, Honors and Kts.' manors. The remainder of Orchard seems to have passed
