A HISTORY OF DORSET 



(another name for Stourton Caundle), lay in this hundred. J' The Count of IMortain held Stoches (no. 200), 

 assessed at 2 hides, and Hugh held i hide in Stoches (no. 269) of William of Eu, which Toli, William's 

 predecessor, held in pledge de terra Scireburne. Both manors are probably represented bv Stock Gaylard 

 House. Stock Gaylard was formerly a separate parish in Brownshall hundred, but is now attached to 

 Lydlinch." This brings the total hidage to 53 hides and \ virgate, as opposed to the 52' hides of the Geld 

 Roll. The details of the Geld Roll account, however, amount to 53 hides.

The wife of Hugh held Orchard (nos. 422 and civ), assessed at 1 1 hide. One hide belonged to Cranborne 

 Abbey. The manor lay in the hundred in 143 1.^^ The other 2\ hides of exempt demesne held by the wife of 

 Hugh in this hundred cannot be identified, since her remaining manors were all subinfeudated in 1086. 

 Eyton placed Hurpston in Steeple (nos. 413 and cxlvi) in this hundred. It was held by Robert the boy {puer) 

 of the wife of Hugh, and assessed at 3 hides.-'-' Walter de Claville had i hide and i virgate in demesne 

 at Church Knowle (nos. 312 and clviii), assessed at 2 hides, and his manor of Afflington (nos. 311 and clvii), 

 which he held in demesne, was assessed at 2 hides, i' virgate. Church Knowle lay in this hundred in 1212, 

 along with Steeple and East Creech. ^-^ Roger de Beaumont held land in all 3 vills in 1086, zl hides in 

 Steeple (no. 234), 2 hides in East Creech (no. 233), and 3. I hides in Church Knowle (no. 235). Beulf held i 

 hide in Church Knowle (no. 308) of Waleran, and Walter held i hide in the same vill (no. 291) of William of 

 Briouze. Bretel held 2 hides in East Creech (no. 202) of the Count of Mortain, \\'alter held ' hide there (no. 

 289) of William of Briouze and Robert frumentinus another 1 hide (nos. 412 and cxlv) of the wife of Hugh. 

 Durand the carpenter's virgate must be his manor of Afflington (no. 510), assessed at that amount. Three 

 and a half virgates in Afflington were held by Walter of William of Briouze (no. 290). The Abbess of 

 Shaftesbury's land in this hundred is difficult to identify. In 1285 she held the manors of Arne, Blashenwell 

 (Farm), and Encombe (the 2 latter in Corfe Castle parish). In the second survey of the abbey's lands, 

 dating from the latter part of the 12th century, Blashenwell and Encombe were appendages of her manor 

 of Kingston, and Arne in Purbeck consisted of a hide of land occupied by salt-pans. Encombe consisted of 

 w virgate and Blashenwell of i.\ hide.''' Both the Domesdav survev and the 12th-century survey give the 

 hidage of Kingston (no. 134) as 16 hides. It lay in Rowbarrow hundred at this date. The Abbot of Cerne held 

 Kimmeridge (nos. 90 and liii), which lay in the hundred in 1285, and Renscombe (nos. 91 and liv), which 

 lay there in 13 16." Kimmeridge was assessed at 5 hides with 2 hides, 2' virgates, in demesne and Renscombe 

 at 5 hides, i virgate, with 2 hides, 3 virgates, in demesne. Part of Kimmeridge was held by Richard of 

 William of Briouze (no. 28S). It was assessed at i j hide. Alvric the huntsman held Blackmanston (nos. 

 476, 489), assessed at i hide. Anschitil de Carisburgo must be the man called Anschitil fitz Ameline in the 

 Exchequer text. He held only I manor, Tvneham (no. 369), assessed at 3 hides. It was a divided vill, 3.' 

 hides being held by Bretel of the Count of ;\Iortain (no. 203), i hide and i virgate by William of Earl 

 Hugh (no. 227), and i virgate bv Edric (no. 473). The last-named is presumably Edric the reeve, but 

 Tyneham is too small to cover his exempt demesne in this hundred. He also held East Holme (no. 467), 

 assessed at i hide, which lay in the hundred in 1285.-'* \\'alter de Claville also held 2 hides and i virgate in 

 East Holme (nos. 313 and clix), with \ virgate in demesne. Robert fitz Gerold's manor in the hundred must 

 be Povington (no. 242), assessed at 8' hides, which lay there in 121 2.'' Robert fitz Ralph does not appear in 

 the Dorset survey, either as a tenant-in-chief or as a mesne tenant. A Robert fitz Rolf or Ralf held 3 manors in 

 Wiltshire,-'" but none of them could have been included in Hasilor hundred. The land of the abbey of St. 

 Wandrille must be the hide attached to the church of Wareham (nos. 124 and xx). The Count of Slortain 

 had i hide attached to a mill at Stoborough (no. 201). The manor of Bradle (no. 344), assessed at 4 hides and
