3 The identity of Witingham with Whicham, 

 Bodele with Bootle, and Santacherche with Kirksan- 

 ton, all in Cumberland, needs no remark. That of 

 Hougun with Millom and Hougenai with Whitbeck 

 rests upon the following considerations : — (i) The 

 number of carucates in Hougun, Cherchebi, Ulvrestun, 

 and Bodeltun (comprising Furness, Cartmel, and 

 Millom) amount to lig carucates, of which the 



5 vills assigned to Cumberland contain 1 9 carucates. 

 The hundred carucates which remain may with 

 certainty be identified and apportioned — to Furness 

 82 carucates, and to Cartmel 18 carucates. This 

 rating was reduced after Domesday to 41 carucates 



2 carucates ; Clivertun [Crivelton, in Newton, 

 in Yarlside], 4 carucates ; Ouregrave [Orgrave], 



3 carucates ; Meretun [Martin], 4 carucates ; 

 Pennegetun [Pennington] 2 carucates ; Gerle- 

 worde [Kirkby Ireleth] 2 carucates ; Borch 

 [Broughton in Furness], 6 carucates ; Berretseige 

 [Bardsea], 4 carucates ; Witingham [Whicham, 

 Cumb.], 4 carucates ; Bodele [Bootle], 4 caru- 

 cates ; Santacherche [Kirksanton, Cumb.], 

 I carucate ; Hougenai [Whitbeck or part of 

 Millom (?), Cumb.], 6 carucates. AH these vills 

 belong to Hougun [Millom, Cumb.].

9 M. In Stercaland [Strickland Ketel and 

 Strickland Roger, Westml.], Mimet [Mint 

 House, or Mint Feet, near Kirkby Kendal, 

 Westml.], Cherchebi [Kirkby Kendal, Westml.], 

 Helsingetune [Helsington, Westml.], Steintun 

 [Stainton, Westml.], Bodelforde [a lost hamlet of 

 Helsington, Westml.], Hotun [Old Hutton, 

 Westml.], Bortun [Burton in Kendal, Westml.], 

 Daltun [Dalton], Patun [Patton, Westml.]. 

 Gilemichel had these (vills). In these there are 

 20 carucates of land to geld. 



M. In Cherchebi [Cartmel] Duuan (had) 

 6 carucates to geld. 



M. In Ulvreston [Ulverston] Turulf (had) 

 6 carucates of land to geld. 



In Bodeltun [Bolton with Adgarley], 6 caru- 

 cates. In Dene [Dendron], i carucate. 



and 9 carucates respectively, and the correctness of 

 the identity of the respective vills belonging to Mil- 

 lom, Furness, and Cartmel, and the fact of the reduc- 

 tion of rating, may be proved by the great inquest of 

 service of A.D. 1212, which assigns 20J carucates (half 

 Furness) to the heir of William, son of Michael de 

 Furness, and a like extent (making in all 41 caru- 

 cates) to the abbot of Furness. To WiUiam Marshall, 

 to whom King John had given Cartmel, are assigned 

 9 carucates of land. — Testa de NeziilUKsc. Com.), 406^, 

 407. (2) The quo warranto rolls afford conclusive evi- 

 dence of the antiquity even in 1292 of the jurisdiction 

 and prerogative of Millom as a manorial lordship. By 

 the verdict of a jury the lords of Millom were declared 

 to have exercised from time out of mind free chase 

 between the waters of Esk and Duddon, half the 

 chattels of felons convicted in the court of Millom, 

 gallows at Millom, and amends of the assize pf ale 

 broken, and infangenethef in Millom, Seaton (Hall), 

 Bootle, Kirksanton, 'Bretteby,' andSilecroft (p. 123^). 

 The erection of Dalton-in-Furness and Gleaston 

 into centres of feudal administration belongs to a 

 period much later than Domesday. Therefore 

 the temporary association of Millom, Furness, and 

 Cartmel under the ownership of Tostig made the 

 existing manor and court of Millom the natural caput 

 of these regions for administrative purposes and for the 

 collection of Danegeld and all other issues of land. 

 (3) There is apparently some etymological connexion 

 between Hougun (O. Norse Haugr, a mound, a hUl) 

 and Millom (O. Norse Melr, a sandhill, and holmr, 

 here meaning a ' meadow on the shore.')
