In NoRUic [Norwich] there were T.R.E. 

 1,320 burgesses. Of whom i was so (much)

 He had [hic hahehat) 18 acres of land and 12 

 (acres) of meadow and 2 churches in the borough, 

 and a sixth part of a third ; and to i church 

 belonged a messuage [nuimura) in the borough 

 and 6 acres of meadow. This Roger Bigot 

 holds of the king's gift. And of 1,238 (bur- 

 gesses) the kino; and earl had soke and sac ana 

 custom ; and over 50 Stigand had soke and sac 

 and commendation; and over 32 had Harold 

 soke and sac and commendation ; of whom I 

 was so much his own [ita ei dominicus) that he 

 could not withdraw or do homage without his leave. 

 Altogether {inter Mum) they had between them 

 {omnes) 80 acres of land and 20^ acres of meadow. 

 And of these I was a woman, Stigand's sister, 

 (with) 32 acres of land. And between them all 

 they had half a mill and the fourth part of 

 I mill, and still have. And in addition {adhuc)

 son of Ivo has them. And in addition 2 acres 

 of meadow which belonged to [jacebant ad) the 

 church of All Saints ; those also Wihenoc took

 St. Michad to which belong ii2 acres of land
