A HISTORY OF DORSET 



dimidiam) virgam. De isto dominicatu habet rex iii 

 hidas et iii virgas de terra Heroldi et comes de 

 Moritonio vi hidas (et) i virgam et Balduinus 

 vicecomes iiii hidas et dimidiam et dimidiam virgam 

 et Walerannus venator iiii hidas et Osbertus 

 Gifardus ii hidas. Et de v virgis de terra Heroldi non 

 habuit rex geldum. 



3 hides and 3 virgates of Harold's land, and the 

 Count of Mortain 6 hides and i virgate, and Baldwin 

 the sheriff 4! hides and 1 virgate, and Waleran the 

 huntsman 4 hides, and Osbern Giffard 2 hides. 

 And from 5 virgates of Harold's land the king did 

 not have geld. 



Harold's manor in this hundred must be Child Okeford (nos. 7 and i), assessed at 5 hides, with 3 hides in 

 demesne. It lav in the hundred in 121 2.*' The Count of Mortain held 5 hides in Child Okeford (no. 152) and 

 the manor of Hanford (no. 151), assessed at 4 hides, which also lay in the hundred in 1212. Baldwin, Sheriff 

 of Devon, held onlv i manor in Dorset, Iwerne Courtney or Shroton (no. 316), assessed at 8 hides. It lay in 

 Gillingham hundred at a later date, but was in Ferendone hundred in 1212.*- Sutton Waldron (no. 304), 

 which was held bv Waleran in 1086, also lay in Ferendone hundred in 1212. It was assessed at 8 hides in 

 1086. Osbern Giffard's only manor in Dorset was Hill (Farm) (no. 318), assessed at 2 hides. Manston (no. 

 302), which Warenger held of Waleran, belonged to Gillingham hundred in 1285.^3 Ferendone became part 

 of Gillingham hundred, and it is quite likely that Manston lay in Ferendone at this date. If so, this brings the 

 total hidage to the Geld Roll figure of 37 hides. 



XXXVI. BUCKLAND HUNDRED 



In Bochene hundret sunt xxx et viiii (hide) una virga 

 minus. Inde habet rex ix hbras xii denarios et i 

 obolum minus pro xxx hidis i virga minus. 



[f-24] 



Inde habent barones regis in dominio vii hidas et 

 dimidiam dimidiam virgam minus. De isto domini- 

 catu habet Rainboldus (presbiter) ii hidas et Willel- 

 mus de Braiosa ii hidas et Bolo presbiter iii hidas 

 dimidiam virgam minus et rex dimidiam hidam de 

 terra Heroldi. Et de dimidia hida et dimidia virga 

 quas Rotbertus de Oilleio abstulit i tagno et posuit 

 intra firmam regis in Melecoma non habuit rex 

 geldum et de i hida quam tenet Walchelinus de 

 comite de Moritonio non habuit rex geldum. 



In Buckland hundred there are 39 hides less i 

 virgate. Thence the king has ^8 i8j. \i\d.^ for 30 

 hides less i virgate. Thence the king's barons have 

 in demesne 7' hides less i virgate. Of this demesne 

 Rainbald the priest has 2 hides, and William of 

 Briouze 2 hides, and Bollo the priest 3 hides less ' 

 virgate, and the king 1 hide of Harold's land. And 

 from \ hide and \ virgate which Robert de Oilly 

 took from a thegn and placed in the king's farm of 

 Melcombe the king did not have geld and from i hide 

 which Walchelin holds of the Count of Mortain the 

 king did not have geld. 



Rainbald the priest had only i manor in Dorset, Poleham (no. 146), assessed at 10 hides, with 4 not 2 

 hides in demesne. In 1303 Henn,- de Glaun^yle held Glanvilles Wootton in this hundred of William de 

 Brewes.*' William of Briouze held 2 manors in Glanvilles Wootton in 1086 (nos. 284, 285), assessed at 3 

 hides and 2 hides respectively. Both were held of him by Ralph. Bollo the priest's manor in this hundred 

 must be !Mappowder (no. 431), assessed at 5 hides and 3 virgates, since Chickerell (no. 432) belonged to 

 Cullifordtree hundred. The Count of Mortain held 3I virgates and 7 acres of Mappowder (no. 171). 

 Perhaps this is the manor said to be held by Walchelin in the Geld Roll, though he does not appear as the 

 count's tenant in the Domesday survey. Hugh held 3 virgates in Mappowder (no. 259) of William of Eu. 

 The land which Robert de Oilly added to the king's manor of Bingham's Melcombe (no. 30) must be the 3i 

 virgates in Buckland hundred attached to it. Domesdav, however, states that Countess Goda, who held 

 the manor T.R.E., was responsible for the addition and that previously the land was held by 3 free thegns. 

 Robert held Bingham's Melcombe and Hinton Martell (no. 31) at farm of the king.*'<> Earl Harold's land 

 must be the i hide in Mapperton attached to Puddletown (nos. 8 and ii), although Mapperton lay in 

 Loosebarrow hundred. Fifteen hides remain to be found. This is the hidage of Buckland Xewton (no. 65), 

 the head of the hundred, belonging to Glastonbury Abbey. The abbot's demesne consisted of 8 ploughlands 

 which never paid geld.
