No. 308 is the Composition concerning the tithes of Trolhope 

 by the Pope, as contained in Morton's account. The divisions 

 contain some new clauses perhaps omitted by the transcriber 

 of the charter. These divisions are : — From the Eastern side 

 of Aildunesfot upwards to Hethouswire by the syke towards 

 the South unto Trolhope-burne, along the valley to the Swirle 

 of Naruswinesete, and thence as the wood and moor divide 

 unto Twisel-hopesheved, and thence upwards, between wood 

 and moor, even to Collegge. And so towards the North by 

 the divisions between the land of Robert de Muscamp and the 

 land of Cliftuu, and thence by the way of Blakstauerige between 

 the land of the often named Robert and the land of Heddune 

 along Trolhope-burne, until it come to the valley which goes 

 upward from Trolhope-burne even to Witestaverigend, and then 

 by a little syke from the North part of Chester even to 

 Raxede-burne, and thence towards the North by the footpath 

 which goes towards Heddiine, even to a certain syke, and so 

 by the same syke towards the East even unto Heddune-burne, 

 and so by Heddune-burne downward to Aildunesfot [looks as 

 if an old dune or fort gave the name to Elsdon burn : appears 

 to be in relationship also with Heddune — the high dune or 

 fort. Dunum also a fort across the Beaumont]. The final 

 settlement in 1223 in St. Nicholas Church, Newcastle {Liber 

 de Melros, pp. 271-2).
