Turgis under Judhel adjoined each other, in this very neighbour- 
hood. Still the remaining lands of its Saxon owner Aluric lay 
between the Plym and the Yealm, and Calstone in Holbeton has a 
name more nearly akin. The order of succession in Domesday does 
not help us here ; for Coltrestan occurs after Langdon and before 
Fernhill, and thus may belong to either group. But it was certainly 
within our district. 
The manors of Scage, or Shaugh — for there were two, correspond- 
ing to Higher and Nether Shaugh — in the days of the Confessor 
were the property of Alebric, who owned an extensive tract of 
land on the borders of the moor in this vicinity, and had Judhel 
for his successor. To him belonged also Fernehelle (Fernhill); 
Pidehel (Pithill) ; Torix, which adjoined the head waters of the 
Torry brook ; Lochetore (Loughtor) on the same stream near Newn- 
ham j Odeford (the lower of the two Woodfords near Marsh Mills) j 
Hoveland (Holland) ; Lege (Lee) ; and Waliforde (Collaford). 
Alebric's estates must therefore have stretched very nearly from the 
Plym to the Yealm. The northern portion generally fell to Turgis 
as under tenant, the southern to Ealph. 
Two other manors on the eastern side of the Plym have yet to 
be mentioned. These are Brictricestone, now represented by Brixton 
in Shaugh parish, which had passed from Elmer to Judhel, and 
was held by Ralph, and the second of the two Odeford s — Higher 
Woodford — which had likewise belonged to Elmer, and had passed 
to Judhel and Ralph in common with its neighbour. There was 
evidently a very strong and natural desire on the part both of 
lords and tenants to make their holdings as compact as possible. 
Cornehode (Cornwood) and other manors in that locality had 
fallen to the Earl of Moreton ; and this, like Harford and Beer 
Ferrers, was in the hands of Reginald of Valletort as under tenant. 
Cotelie, which I identify with Cadleigh, and which with Cornwood 
had belonged to the Saxon thane Edmar, was, like its neighbour, 
fairly populous. The two Bachemores (Baccamoor) were held by 
Ralph under Judhel. 
There is no need to quote the old " furzy-down " rhyme to prove 
that Plympton is older than Plymouth. Under the name of 
Plintona it appears in Domesday as the chief centre of the 
immediate district, and the most valuable manor. It had land in 
all for twenty-six ploughs, besides woods half a mile in breadth,
