Notes on Durrington.

found an iron object, much corroded and with gravel adhering 

 to it, which looks like the coulter of a plough (?) There is 

 nothing in its position to prove its age, the upper floor of the 

 hypocaust was entirely broken in. It may be Roman, or it 

 may not. 



Not a single coin turned up during our excavations, but 

 Mr. Hardy has one of Valens found on the site.

^SHE East-end Manor is small, being little over 480 acres, 

 |$ Wi and for centuries was joined to a very much smaller 

 manor — Knighton, in Figheldean parish ; the lords of both being 

 the Dean and Chapter of Salisbury. In some respects it was 

 subordinate to the West-end Manor : for the lessee of the greater 

 manor claimed that his flock had a right to feed all the wheat 

 stubble on the East-end Manor from old Michaelmas to Martinmas 

 tide (22nd Nov.) yearly; and in the second barley field from 

 Luke's tide (Oct. 29th) to Martin's tide. 



The earliest lease in existence is in the muniment room of 

 Salisbury Cathedral. It is one granted to Win. Grene, 1 of Heyle 

 (Heale, in the parish of Woodford), in 1548, of the Manor or 



1 Wm. Grene bought half the Manor of Stanlynch in 34 Henry VIII. ; and 

 probably gave up Heale to Gerard Errington, who married his daughter 

 Margaret, and died at Heale, 1596.
