JOURNAL OF THE PLYMOUTH INSTITUTION. 
Weston, now Weston Peverel, is the next manor to Stoclies. 
Before the Conquest it belonged to Ulnod, his sole possession in 
this locality. Under the Conqueror it passed to the famous Judhel 
of Totnes, the largest Norman landowner in the district ; and at 
the date of Domesday it formed one of a group of manors within 
what is now the suburban ring of the Three Towns, rented by one 
Odo, but which had nearly all formed separate holdings. We 
have also Bureton (Burrington) which had belonged to Alwin ; 
Manadon to Colbert; Witelie (East Whitley) to Godwin; two 
Modlei 1 (Higher and Lower Mutley) belonging respectively to 
Godwin and Alwin ; Colridge (Coldridge), owned by Edmer ; and 
Leuricestone, by Saulf, all in the lordship of Judhel and all let by 
him to Odo — an extensive estate, lying well-nigh, in modern par- 
lance, in a ring fence. 
These are all familiar names, with one exception — that of Leurice- 
stone. As a rule the entries of Judhel's manors, even more so 
than those of other local lords, run in fairly consecutive topo- 
graphical order. His first manor in this immediate locality is Egg 
Buckland ; then come the Mutleys ; then Leuricestone ; and then 
Weston. There can be no doubt therefore that Leuricestone 
belongs to our suburban belt, and little doubt that it is one of the 
two Lipsons, though that name is certainly more clearly identifiable 
in Lisistone, the other form in which it appears. I confess, however, 
that I have hesitated whether Leuricestone did not after all com- 
prise in part the Cattedown district. It really seems compounded 
of the old names of the estuary and of that rocky hill — Lary and 
Hingstone. Curiously enough, too, evidence has recently come to 
light of the existence of a hitherto unrecorded manor, lying 
between the Suttons and the accepted Lipson, down so late as the 
middle of the seventeenth century ; and there is a quaint echo of 
the ancient Leuricestone in the later Lulyetts Fee. We may there- 
fore, almost with absolute certainty, regard Lipson and Leuricestone 
as adjoining estates, the latter ranging to the west of the former. 2 
1 This origin of Mutley conclusively disposes of the idea that the name 
had anything to do with the Maudlyn House, as formerly suggested, and as 
accepted by me. 
' I question whether there are half a dozen persons who are aware of the 
existence within the precincts of the borough of Plymouth of this manor of 
Lulyetts or Uletts Fee. So far as I know, it is mentioned only in a seven- 
teenth century manor court-book, which has somehow found its way among 
the muniments of the Plymouth Corporation, but which has nothing to do
