286 History of the Wiltshire Manors 



It does not occur among the fees of Walter de Dunstanville in the 

 Liber Feodorum. Neither is there any mention of it in the Court 

 Rolls of Castle Combe. I am inclined to think it was granted by- 

 one of the earlier De Dunstanvilles to the Priory of Monkton 

 Farleigh, which held it up to the dissolution. As already stated 

 Cumberwell had been bestowed on the same monastery by them. 



26. Sorestone. — Held by Robertus temp. Domesday. Sherston 

 Pinkney. Radulphus de Pinkeney held a knight's fee in Parva 

 Scorston, of Walter de Dunstanville, {Lib. Feod.) Thomas Giffard 

 held it in 1340, and it was valued at 6/. 13s. 4d. In 1365, John 

 Giffard; in 1396-1404, Isabella, his widow, who was probably 

 heiress of Pinkeney. John Giffard, Esquire, held it 1454; and in 

 1531, it still stood on the rolls in the same name. In 1547, John 

 Wylkokes owed service for it; and in 1573, the same. 



27. Meleford. — Held temp. Domesday by Gozelinus. Milford, 

 adjoining Salisbury. Gilbert de Muleford held the twentieth part 

 of a knight's fee in Muleford of Walter de Dunstanville, (Lib. Feod.) 

 In 1340, Thomas de Buton held it at the value of 11. In 1350, 

 John Talbot; and from 1394 to 1404 John Ashley are in the rolls 

 as tenants of Milford. In 1414, Robert Ashley; in 1436, his 

 death occurring, the tenants of the estate were distrained for 

 munture. In 1443, Lord Lovel held it; in 1454, Thomas Tame; 

 in 1537, Thomas Tame and John Talbot. 



I have now come to the end of the list of manors, which are 

 mentioned in Domesday, as composing the seignory of Hunfridus 

 de Insula. He held likewise two messuages, occupied by burgesses, 

 in the borough of Malmesbury. And these tenements remained 

 attached to the Manor of Castle Combe down to the fifteenth 

 century, soon after which all clue to them is lost. 



Two Wiltshire manors not contained in the Domesday list appear 

 regularly in the Court Rolls from the thirteenth century ; these are 

 Whelpeley, near Downton; and Shawe, near Melksham. The 

 first of these, Whelpeley, on the authority of the Liber Feodorum, 

 was held in the reign of Henry III. as three parts of a knight's 

 fee of Walter de Dunstanville, by Gilbert de Engleys, together
