this demesne the Count of Mortain has 5I virgates 

 and the Abbot of Cerne 2 hides. The Abbot of 

 Milton I hide. The wife of Hugh 3 i hides. John the 

 usher i hide and il virgate. Godwin the reeve i 

 hide. Alward Colinc i hide. Edwin the huntsman 3 

 hides and I virgate. And from .' hide which Bretel 

 holds the king did not have geld and from h hide 

 which the villeins of Hugh Gosbert hold the king did 

 not have geld and from 3 virgates which William de 

 monasterio holds of William de Aldrie the king never 

 had geld and from 2I virgates which Dodeman 

 holds of the Count of Mortain the king never had 

 geld and from i virgate which Ralph holds of the 

 wife of Hugh the king did not have geld and from 1 1 

 hide which 1 Englishman, to whom this land pre- 

 viously belonged, holds at farm of Aiulf, the king did 

 not have geld. 



The Count of Mortain held 5! virgates at Wintreburne (no. 184). Dodeman held ij hide of him in the 

 same manor. The Abbot of Cerne had 2 hides in demesne at Bloxworth (nos. 79 and xlii), assessed at 5! 

 hides. The Abbot of Milton had i hide in demesne at Wintreburne (nos. 103 and Ixxvii), assessed at 2 hides 

 and I virgate. The wife of Hugh held Wintreburne (nos. 386 and cxviii), assessed at 5 hides, with 3 not 3I 

 hides in demesne, and Ralph held Wintreburne (nos. 387 and cxix), assessed at i.^ virgate, of her. John 

 had only i manor, Wintreburne (no. 500), assessed at 2 hides, i\ virgate. Godwin the reeve held i hide in 

 Wintreburne (no. 450). Alward Colinc held Thorncombe (no. 439), assessed at 2 hides. Edwin the huntsman 

 held 2 manors called Bleneford{e) (nos. 438, 455), i assessed at 5 hides, i J virgate, and i at 5 hides. It is not 

 possible to decide which is Blandford St. Mary which lay in Combsditch'' and which is Langton Long 

 Blandford which lay in Langeberge hundred. '^ Aiulf held part of Blandford St. Mary (no. 336), assessed at 

 I.' hide, which Leveva (Leofgifu) held T.R.E. Bretel held the manor of Littleton (no. 176) of the Count 

 of Mortain. It was assessed at 5 hides and belonged to the hundred in 1303.''' Dodeman held part of 

 Wintreburne (no. 184) of the Count of Mortain, as already stated, and also the manor of Blaneford (Blandford 

 St. Mary) (no. 185), assessed at i.l hide. Bretel also held a manor called Bleneford (no. 177), assessed at i\ 

 hide, of the Count of Mortain. William de Aldrie is not mentioned in the Dorset Domesday, either as a 

 tenant-in-chief or as a mesne tenant. In the Wiltshire survey he appears as a tenant of William of Eu.*° At 

 Bleneford (part of Blandford St. Mary) (no. 261), which William (presumably William de Aldrie) held of 

 William of Eu, there was i hide from which non habuit rex geldum. Possibly this is the manor referred to in 

 the Geld Roll. Hugh Gosbert held a manor called Wintreburne (no. 496), assessed at I hide. Two thegns had 

 held it T.R.E. and there were 2 villani in 1086. Of the many manors called Wintreburne it is impossible to 

 decide which lay in Combsditch and which in CuUifordtree hundred. The manor of Wintreburne which 

 Urse held of Waleran (no. 305) probably belongs to this hundred. In 1242-3 Winterborne Tomson and 

 Winterborne Turbervileston (now Winterborne Muston in Winterborne Kingston)*' were both de feudo 

 heredis Waleran, and these same manors afterwards lay in the hundred of Combsditch.*^ Which of the 2 

 represents the manor held by Waleran in 1086 must remain doubtful. Since the other manors of Wintreburne 

 cannot satisfactorily be identified, this hundred cannot be completed. 



XVII. COGDEAN HUNDRED 



In Cocdene hundret sunt Ixxx et vi hide et pro 

 xxxii hide habet rex ix libras et xii solidos (et iii 

 denarios). Et pro x et vii hidis et dimidia reddiderunt

Edward of Salisbury held 2 manors in Dorset, Canford Magna (no. 243), with 1 1 1 hides in demesne, 

 and Kinson (no. 244), now in Hampshire, with 5 hides and i virgate in demesne. Together they amount to 

 38 hides. Roger de Beaumont's manor must be Sturminster Marshall (no. 232), although the Domesday 



In Cogdean hundred there are 86 hides and for 32 

 hides the king has £() 12s. 2d. and from 17.! hides the 

 men of Roger de Beaumont rendered 105^. after 

 Lady Day. And the king's barons have thence in 

 demesne 35 hides and li virgate. Of this demesne 

 Edward has i6i hides, and Roger de Beaumont un- 

 hides, and Robert fitz Gerpld 7 hides and li 

 virgate. And for i virgate which Edward has in this 

 hundred he paid geld in another, and for .j virgate
