where salt was made by evaporating the sea water — and this was 
worth two shillings a year. Though the value of the manor was 
less than that of Stoke, and remained at fifty shillings, it must 
have had exceptional importance as the occasional residence of its 
powerful lord. 
Contone (Compton) also belonged to Judhel, and was likewise 
in its way a notable centre. It had been held by Osulf, but was 
now rented by Stephen, and worth thirty shillings. The popula- 
tion was just double that of Sutton. 
It is possible that in the dispossessed Saxon thane Osulf we 
have the under tenant of Wide ( Widey) and Witelie (West Whit- 
leigh). These two estates had been held in the time of the 
Confessor, with Hanechelole (Honicknowle) and Tori (Tor), by 
Wadelo the freeman, but had passed to Eobert of Albemarle. 
Hanechelole and Tori had become the manors of the Count of 
Moreton, the brother of the Conqueror, and were, with many 
other estates of that great lord paramount, held by Reginald of 
Valletort, ancestor of the most famous Norman family of the West 
of the second generation. 
So much for our more immediate suburban area. 
Following up the Tamar, we come to Tanbretone (Kings 
Tamerton), already mentioned as being in the King's demesne. 
Bucheside (St. Bude), one of several manors held by the chief 
thane of the district, the Saxon Alwin, had passed into the hands 
of Alured the Briton. He likewise held the adjoining estate of 
Tamerton (Tamerton Foliott), which had enormously improved in 
value since the days of the dispossessed Inewar, from sixty shillings 
to a hundred. It had the very large enumerated population of 
twenty-nine, and a salt-work returning five shillings. 
Inewar had also held the adjacent manor of Blachestane (Black- 
stone), which likewise passed to Alured, and had been by him 
improved in value from twenty shillings to fifty. Next in the list 
of Alured's possessions comes Tawi, held by Si ward in the time of 
Eadward. There is no place-name extant that corresponds with 
this, but it is evidently taken from the river, the Tavy, and 
perhaps extended along its eastern bank towards Buckland Mona- 
choruni. 1 Here too we have a large population — twenty-one in 
all, and an increase of value from twenty shillings to sixty. 
1 Mr. Davidson suggests Peter Tavy.
