SOME EARLY SURVEYS 



In Bloccelea [Blockley] 38 hides. Of 

 these Walter de Beauchamp (has) 5 ;^ (there 

 are) 5 at Deilesford [Daylesford],* 3 at 

 EuNiLADE [Evenlode] ;* the monks have i,* 

 and the Bishop 24 with his demesnes and 

 DiCFORD [Ditchford].* 



In Tredinton [Tredington] 23 hides. Of 

 these the monks have 2;* at Langedun 

 [Longden] there are 4 ;* the Bishop has 1 7 

 with his demesnes.'' 



In Northewike [Northwick in Claines] 

 25 hides. Of these Walter de Beauchamp 

 has 10 hides, the King i, Hugh Puiher 7^, 

 the Bishop 6^ with his demesnes.* 



In Werebyri [Overbury] and Penedoc 

 [Pendock] 6 hides. 



In Segesberewe [Sedgeberrow] 4 hides. 



At ScEPWESTUNE [Shipston-on-Stour] 2. 



At Herfortune [Harvington] with Wi- 

 BURGA Stoke 3. 



At Grimeleage [Grimley] 3 hides. Walter 

 de Beauchamp has one of these at Cnihtewike 

 [Knightwick].9 



At Hallhagan [Hallow] with Brade- 

 WAssE [Broadwas] 7 hides.^" Of these Walter 

 de Beauchamp (has) i^ hides,^^ Roger de 



' At Dome, acquired by Urse subsequently 

 to 1086 (see p. 293, note 7). 



* Both these as in Domesday. 

 ^ At Icombe. 



* The Bishop, though he had lost Dome 

 since 1086, had gained the 2 hides that 

 Richard had held at Ditchford, and the i^ 

 hides that Ansgot had held (of the villeins' 

 land). His demesne, therefore, was only i^ 

 hides less than in 1086, 



® At Blackwell, as in Domesday. 



« Which Gilbert Fitz Turold had held in 

 1086. William Travers is found holding 

 them of the Bishop temp. John {Testa de 

 Nevill, p. 42). 



'' The division of this manor was un- 

 changed. 



* Except that Hugh Puiher held the 7^ 

 hides that had been held, in Domesday, by 

 Walter Ponther, there had been a good deal 

 of change here. I expect that the Bishop, 

 whose demesnes had increased by 3 hides, 

 had regained the 3 (or 3^) hides at Aston, 

 which Domesday entered as held by Ordric, 

 but as forming part of the chief manor. The 

 7I hides held by Urse in 1086 had increased 

 here to 10 hides, the holding of his son-in- 

 law, Walter. 



® As had Robert the Despencer in 1086. 

 *" But according to Domesday 7^. 

 ^^ Urse held nothing here in 1086. 



Laci 3^ hides,'* the Count of Meulan i 

 hide." 



At Croppethorne [Cropthorne] 50 hides. 

 Of these the abbot of Evesham has at Ham- 

 tun [Hampton by Bengeworth] 5 hides which 

 (pay) geld, and 10 (others which) are free from 

 geld by the King's writ.'* The same Abbot 

 has 4 hides at Beningwyrde [Bengeworth], 

 and Walter de Beauchamp 9 hides at Bening- 

 wrde [Bengeworth] and at Elmelege [Elm- 

 ley (Castle)],'^ and Robert Marmion 7 hides at 

 Ceorletune [Charlton] ;'® the monks 1 5 hides. 



These are (the) 300 hides belonging to 

 Oswaldes lawes Hundret :" 



The Bishop has in demesne ... 94 



The monks 40 



Walter de Beauchamp . . . . [100]'* 



Other barons 63 



The King 3 



[300] 

 These (hides) all pay geld, and, besides 

 these, 1 at Hampton are free from the King's 

 geld, as we said above. 



De Kinfolka.'^ 



In the hundret {sic) of Kerselau*" the 

 Bishop has in Heortlabyri [Hartlebury] 20 

 hides. Of these Walter de Beauchamp has 



'* At Himbleton and Spetchley, held also 

 by Roger de Laci in 1086. 



'' Representing, or at least including, the 

 half hide at Lippard (' Lappewrte ') held by 

 Hugh de Grentmesnil in 1086. 



'* See p. 255, note 10 above. 



'* i.e. 5 at Bengeworth and 4 at Elmley. 

 But Urse had actually held 6 at Bengeworth, 

 the Abbot's 4 hides completing the 10 (see p. 

 254 above). 



'^ The nameless 1 1 hides held by Robert 

 the Despencer in 1086 were at Elmley and 

 Charlton. The 4 at Elmley were secured by 

 Beauchamp, and the 7 at Charlton by Mar- 

 mion (see Feudal England, p. I76). The 

 latter's holding is represented by the two fees 

 (or, as he said, one) which Robert Marmion 

 held of the Bishop in 1166. 



" This is the Domesday form of ' Hundred.' 



" This figure is obtained by adding up the 

 hides assigned to him under each manor. 

 Hearne gives the figure as 20, but the MS. 

 is here damaged. 



'^ A marginal heading. See p. 244 above 

 for the name.
