Articles on natural history, pre-history, and schools, and the translation, with commentary, of the county section of Domesday Book then remained to be published in order to complete the 'general' volumes. Though a volume to contain those articles was in preparation at the time, it was not proceeded with, and the First World War put a stop to all further activity on Dorset. An opportunity arose in 1965 to publish separately the Domesday section, which had been prepared for another purpose, and it was decided to do so and not to await the completion of any other 'general' articles. The Royal Commission on Historical Monuments are in any case actively engaged in surveying the county's prehistoric monuments and the case for compiling a partially overlapping survey did not seem compelling. There is, moreover, no strong probability that natural history articles, apart from a survey of physique, will now be needed. They have been omitted from the Victoria History scheme in recent years. It is possible that accounts of ancient endowed grammar schools will in Dorset's case eventually be incorporated in the 'topographical' articles. The structure and aims of the History as a whole are outlined in an article published in the Bulletin of the Institute of Historical Research, Vol. XL (No. loi. May 1967). In preparing the present volume for the press much valuable work has been done by Miss Celia B. Clarke, formerly an Assistant to the Editor. DOMESDAY SURVEY I. The procedure of the Domesday survey — the Exchequer text and the Exon. Domesday — the Domesday commissioners and the hearing of claims — assessment of the shire for geld — teamlands and ploughs — land-values, 1066 and 1086 — -the peasants — manorial adjuncts, meadow, pasture, woodland, and others — the Dorset boroughs, pp. 00-00. II. The land of the king, 1086 and 1066 — the pre-Conquest landowners of Dorset — the survival of the English — the lands of the religious houses, in 1086 and before the Conquest, pp. 00-00. III. The lay tenants in 1086 — the king's thegns and the king's Serjeants — the later history of the fiefs, pp. 00-00. I DORSET, Wiltshire, Somerset, Devon, and Cornwall, the five counties covered by the Exon. Domesday, probably comprised one of the circuits into which England was divided for the making of the Domesday survey.- Each circuit was assigned its own bodies of commissioners^ and, from a passage in the account of Somerset, it has been assumed that William, Bishop of Durham, headed the group of commissioners for the south-west, but the passage could be otherwise construed.** The commissioners seem to have held special sessions of the shire court, at which the juries of the shire and the hundreds gave sworn evidence, but there is little in the accounts of the south-western shires to illustrate this process. There are several references to the testimony of the English and the thegns of the shire, ^ none of which occurs in the Dorset section, and in Devon there is a single reference to the men of the hundred.*^ In Dorset there are four references to oral testimony, but the hundred juries are not mentioned. ^^ It is noticeable that in Domesday there are no hundred rubrics for any of the five south-western shires, although the rest of the English counties were so rubricated. Two hundreds in Dorset are mentioned inci- dentally, Buckland hundred, where there were 3I virgates attached to the manor of Bingham's Melcombe (no. 30), and Purbeck hundred, where William of Briouze held 7 hides less | virgate (no. 296). It is possible partially to reconstruct the Dorset hundreds by collating the Dorset section of the Domesday survey with the Dorset Geld Rolls. ^ It then emerges that the manors of each tenant-in-chief in Domesday are arranged in a fairly consistent order of hundreds, or rather groups of hundreds. ^ Whether this order indicates that the records of the court proceedings were originally arranged hundred by hundred, as in the Inquisitio Comitatus Cantabrigiensis, is conjectural. It is possible that when the original returns were sent to Winchester, they were already in feudal order. The arguments for this view largely turn on the relationship between the Exchequer Domesday and the Exon. Domesday, preserved in Exeter cathedral library. Exon. Domesday in its original form must have covered all five south-western counties, but the Wiltshire section, with the exception of one manor, and four-fifths ' The author wishes to thank Professor R.

Apart from the incomplete descriptions of the five counties of Wiltshire, Dorset, Somerset, Devon, and Cornwall, the Exon. Domes- day contains the Geld Rolls for all five counties, including three distinct versions of the Wiltshire Rolls, lists of terre occupate for Somerset, Devon, and Cornwall, and sum- maries of the fiefs of some barons, notably the Abbot of Glastonbury. The descriptions of the manors in Exon. Domesday are fuller than those in the Exchequer text, especially in recording the livestock statistics which the author of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle found so shocking. '° Many surnames and occupations are recorded in Exon. Domesday and omitted in the Exchequer text. Exon. Domesday regularly distinguishes between the demesne, which the Exchequer text records sporadically, and the land of the t/V/a/;/," which the Exchequer text does not mention at all. The phraseology of Exon. Domesday is very diflFuse, in strong contrast to the brevity of the Exchequer text, and the numerous differences in terminology and the spelling of place and personal names have given rise to the belief that the two versions are 'independent copies of the same original'.'- It was also suggested bv Reichel that the sections for Cornwall, Devon, and Somerset were compiled at Exeter from the original returns, while the sections for Dorset and Wiltshire w^ere made at Winchester, from an Exchequer digest of the ori- ginal returns.'-' This view, which seems on the face of it unlikely, is not borne out by any significant differences between the Dorset section and the rest of Exon. Domesday. More recently, however, the theory has been adopted that the Exchequer text for the south-western counties was derived from Exon. Domesday.'-* Apart from the question of place and personal names there are discrepancies between the two texts which are difficult to explain if one is based upon the other although on balance the general resemblance of the two texts makes it difficult to believe that they are quite independent of each other. The Exon. Domesdav for Dorset covers the land of the king, with the exception of the two manors formerly held by Countess Goda, the land of the Countess of Boulogne, the lands of Cerne Abbey, Abbotsbur}- Abbey, Athelney Abbey, Tavistock Abbey, and INIilton x^bbey, the lands of William of Moyon, Roger Arundel, Serle of Burcy, the wdfe of Hugh fitz Grip, and Walter de Claville. In all, i6o of the 515 manors recorded in the Exchequer text are also in Exon. Domesday, covering about one-third of the total hidage of the county. As has been said above, Exon. Domesdav contains information not in the Exchequer text; it is also true that the Exchequer text contains items of information which do not appear in Exon. Domesday. At Spetisbury (nos. 274 and Ixxxiv) there were two pieces of pasture, one piece measuring 5^ furlongs by 2 furlongs and in alio loco another piece measuring 7.\ furlongs by i^ furlong. According to the Exchequer text this second piece of land lay super aquain but these words do not appear in the Exon. entrv. There is a more serious omission in the Exon. account of the borough of Shaftesburv. The Exchequer text says that the Abbess of Shaftesbury had there 151 burgesses, 20 mansiones vacuus, and a garden, the whole rendering 65^., but none of these details is in the Exon. account of the borough. The most serious discrepancy in the arrangement of manors concerns the land of the king. In the Exchequer text the six manors which had belonged to King Edward, beginning with Portland, come first, followed, with a separate heading, by the '"'... nor indeed (it is a shame to relate but it seemed '^ O. von Feilitzen, Pre-Conquest Personal Sanies of no sham.e to him to do) one ox nor one cow nor one pig Dom.

Domesday Earl Harold's manors come first, with no heading to distinguish them from the land of King Edward, which follows. Countess Gytha's manor of Little Puddle is included among her son's manors, next to Puddletown, and Portland is placed between the manors of Ibberton and Fleet, both belonging to Earl Harold. In addition the lands of BoUo the priest, Bristuard the priest, and the abbey of St. Wand- rille are interspersed with the king's manors, whereas in the Exchequer text they are entered separately. A virgate of reeveland, held by Aiulf the sheriff, is also entered among the king's manors, but it does not appear at all in the Exchequer text. The manors of Queen Maud are entered in almost the same order in both texts except that one of the manors of Tarente (nos. 26 and xxxv), which in the Exchequer text lies fifth among the manors held by Hugh fitz Grip of the queen, lies eighth in Exon. Domesday. Abbotsbury, the chief manor of the abbey of that name, comes third in the Exon. arrangement of the abbey's fief, and first in the Exchequer arrangement, and Milton Abbas, the caput abbatie of Milton Abbey, lies eighth among the abbey's manors in Exon. Domesday and second in the Exchequer text.'^ Of the discrepancies in actual content the most serious relates to the wood of Hauocumbe, attached to the manor of Burton Bradstock (nos. 2 and x). According to the Exchequer text one-third of the wood was held by Earl Edwin, which Exon. Domesday says belonged to Earl Godwin. The Exon. version is probably correct, since this portion of the wood was appurtenant to Frampton (no. 121) which was held T.R.E. by Countess Gytha, Earl Godwin's widow. The value of Nettlecombe (nos. 88 and li) is also a matter of disagreement between the two texts. According to Exon. Domesday the manor reddit abbati viii libras et prefato militi I solidos et v et quando abbas recepit valebat XX solidos plus. The former value of the manor must therefore have been ^Tii 15^. od. The Exchequer text, however, gives the former value of the manor as j/^12 o^. od. There are numerous other small discrepancies, which could have been due to mistakes in copying. At Child Okeford (nos. 7 and i) the king had 9 (viiii) bordars according to Exon. Domesday but 8 (viii) bordars according to the Exchequer text. At Creech (nos. 412 and cxlv) the pasture measured 7 furlongs by 4 (iiii) furlongs according to Exon. Domesday and 7 furlongs by 3 (iii) furlongs according to the Exchequer text. In all these cases it is easy to see how a misreading may have occurred. Similarly at Hampreston (nos. 19 and xxv) there were 2 villani according to Exon. and 5 villani in the Exchequer text, which could be explained by a misreading of ii as v. At another manor in the same vill of Hampreston (nos. 389 and cxxi) the wife of Hugh had i villanus and i bordar according to Exon. Domesday, but i villanus and 2 bordars according to the Exchequer text. At Cerne (nos. 108 and Ixxxii) 7 bordars in Exon. have become 5 bordars in the Exchequer text. At Winterborne Stickland (nos. 403 and cxxxvi) the former and present values of the manor have become transposed. A mistake like this could arise through the difference in arrangement between the two texts, since Exon. always places the 1086 value first, whereas the Exchequer text gives the former value first. There are frequent instances of omissions in the Exchequer text. Exon. Domesday records that William of Moyon's manor of Hammoon (nos. 277 and Ixxxvii) was held of him by Torstin, but the Exchequer text omits this and treats the manor as if William '5 The rearrangement of the lands of Abbotsbury Puddle, in Puddletown hundred, follows the manor of Abbey and Milton Abbey in the Exch. text has disarranged Puddletown in Exon. Domesday, but is isolated from it in the hundredal order. Abbotsbury lay in Uggescombe the Exchequer text. This is not the case with the queen's hundred, along with Portesham and Shihinghampton, manor of Tarente, where the position is reversed; it is in which it immediately precedes in Exon. Domesday, and the Exon. arrangement that the hundredal order is upset, Milton lay in //a/tone hundred, with Lyscombe and Wool- and it is rectified in the Exchequer text, land, its neighbours in Exon. Domesday. Similarly Little A HISTORY OF DORSET held it in demesne. At Turners Puddle (nos. 391 and cxxiv) there was i hide, 4 acres, and a garden which did not pay geld, which are recorded in Exon. Domesday but not in the Exchequer text, and the same is true of a piece of woodland i league and 8 furlongs long and i league wide in Puddletown (nos. 8 and ii), 15 acres of wood at North Poorton (nos. 329 and ci), 8 cottars at Frome St. Quintin (nos. 15 and xxi), 2 cottars at Chilfrome (nos. 278 and Ixxxviii), and a vUlamis with J virgate at Winterborne Houghton (nos. 275 and Ixxxv). Exon. Domesday reveals that only half of the 2 mills at Child Okeford (nos. 7 and i) was held by the king, and that the wood at Nettlecombe (nos. 88 and li) nullum fnictum fert. At Cruxton (nos. 279 and Ixxxix), Durweston (nos. 401 and cxxxiv), and Ringstead (nos. 409 and cxlii) the Exchequer text does not record the men's ploughs, although they are entered in Exon. Domesday. Other minor omissions include leaving out the words et dimidia in some cases, for instance at Cranborne (nos. 16 and xxii) where there were 2\ leagues of pasture in length according to Exon. Interlineations in Exon. Domesday are not always reproduced in the Ex- chequer text. At Cerne (nos. 108 and Ixxxii) the mill was worth xx(v)' (no. 489) omits the hidage but adds the value. The fact that there are so few double entries makes it easier to calculate the assessment of the shire for geld. The total hidage recorded in Domesday amounts to 2,304 hides.-^ This can be compared with the hidage recorded in the Dorset Geld Rolls. There were 39 hundreds and, according to the figures given for the number of hides in each hundred, there should have been 2,298 hides. The details of each hundred account, however, do not always amount to the figure given for the number of hides in the hundred. The figures derived from the actual details of each hundred account yield a total of 2,307 hides, which is much closer to the Domesday figure. ^^ There was in addition a substantial amount of land which was not assessed in hides and not liable to geld. The six manors which had belonged to King Edward, and which were plainly very large, had never paid geld. There were 25I carucates (carucate) at Sherborne (no. 37) which had never paid geld, 16 belonging to the Bishop of Salisbury and g^ to the monks of Sherborne. The bishop had 2 carucates at Beaminster and 2 at Netherbury (nos. 46, 47), and 2 teamlands {qiiatitiim posmnt arare ii cariice) at Charminster (no. 32), 2 more at Alton Pancras (no. 33), 6 at Yetminster (no. 35), and i at Lyme Regis (no. 36). None of this land had ever paid geld. The monks of Sherborne had 2 carucates at Stoke Abbott (no. 45) which did not pay geld. The Abbot of Glastonbur)- had 14 teamlands at Sturminster Ne^\ton (no. 63) and 8 at Buckland Ne\\ton (no. 65), which w^ere exempt from geld. Aiulf the chamberlain had 4 carucates in demesne at Wootton Fitzpaine (no. 347). Some manors were beneficially hidated. Puddletown (nos. 8 and ii) was assessed at \ hide but had land for 15 ploughs. Okeford Fitzpaine (no. 64) was assessed at 8 hides, but had land for 16 ploughs and Stanton St. Gabriel (no. 210) was assessed at \ hide with land for 6 ploughs. Another part of Wootton Fitzpaine (no. 211) was assessed at 2 hides, but had land for 7 ploughs. The king's manor of Wimborne " Dom. Bk. (Rec.

Bk. and Beyond, 505) gives this from Eyton's total, 2,304 hides, i virgate, remain, figure as 2,321 hides, a figure apparently based on Eyton -* Eyton (op. cit. 144) gives these totals as 2,295 hides (Ke)' to Domesday: Dorset, 144). Eyton's total includes and 2,301 hides respectively. 8 hides, 3 virgates, in Badbur)- hundred, belonging to Earl DOMESDAY SURVEY Minster (nos. 21 and xxvii), assessed at h hide, never paid geld although it did not belong to the night's farm of Wimborne, and other exemptions are occasionally recorded.^^ The four Dorset boroughs were assessed at a total of 45 hides, but they contributed to the upkeep of the royal housecarls and were not included in the total assessment of the shire. There were 39 hundreds in Dorset at this period, which may suggest an original assessment of about 3,900 hides, but this seems unlikely. The hidages recorded in the various earlier charters which can be compared with Domesday assessments do not suggest any reduction in the hidage. The abbey of Shaftesbury, for example, received from King Alfred 100 hides, consisting of Donhead St. Andrew (Wihs.) and the manors which in 1086 formed the hundreds of Handley and Sixpenny. The hundred of Handley consisted solely of the manor of that name, assessed at 20 hides, the hundred of Sixpenny contained 53 hides, and Donhead St. Andrew was assessed at 40 hides, which is rather more than the total hidage given by Alfred, not less. 3° Only three Dorset hundreds contained more than 100 hides, Uggescombe with 104 hides, Beaminster with 105 hides, and CuUifordtree with 109 hides, while the tiny hundred of Redhone contained only 7 hides. Several hundreds contained approximately 50 hides,^' and it is noticeable that some of these hundreds were later amalgamated. The Domesday hundred of Celberge (51 hides) became part of Winfrith hundred (49 hides), thus forming one unit of 100 hides; Stane (63 hides) was amalgamated with Modbury (63 hides); and Canendone (48 hides) became part of Badbury (32 hides). This suggests that there had been a division of the original hundreds (if indeed the Dorset hundreds ever did approximate to 100 hides) rather than a reduction in the assessment, which in any case is not indi- cated by any earlier evidence. Dorset was not included in the County Hidage, compiled earlier in the nth century, but the earliest text of the Burghal Hidage, dating from the early loth century,^^ includes Wareham, to which it assigns 1,600 hides, and Brydian (which may be identified with either Bridport or Bredy), to which it assigns 760 hides. These figures yield a total of 2,360 hides, some 56 more than the Domesday figure. The four Dorset boroughs in 1086 were assessed at a total of 45 hides, which would largely account for this discrepancy. Later texts of the Burghal Hidage omit Wareham and Brydian, but include Shaftesbury, to which they assign 700 hides. The Domesday hidage can also be compared with the actual amount of geld collected in 1084. At the end of the Dorset Geld Rolls it is stated that the king received ;(^4i5 8^. ()\d., the geld on approximately 1,394 hides. The money recorded in the individual hundred accounts amounts to ^^2,2 6s. ^hd., the geld on approximately 1,407 hides. About 900 hides were therefore exempt in 1084, which can be accounted for by the baronial demesnes, amounting to approximately 750 hides, and by the various exemptions and defaults, amounting to approximately 130 hides. The system of assessment in Dorset shows traces of artificiality in the number of manors assessed at multiples or fractions of 5 hides. About one-fifth of all the manors in Dorset were assessed on this principle, and this figure can be broken down as follows : 2\ h. 5 h. 10 h. 15 h. 20 h. 25 h. 30 h. 21 44 25 5 5 I 2 In all, 103 out of 515 manors were assessed on a 5-hide basis, and in addition some divided vills add up to 5-hide units as is shown in Table i.

The divided vill was quite a common feature in Dorset, where manors were mostly small and hamlets more common than vills. Sometimes only one part of a divided vill is recorded. William of Eu had i hide in Hiices (no. 258), but no one else is said to have any land there, and the place is not otherwise mentioned. Similarly, the Count of Mortain had 2 hides in Mannington (no. 186) and a mill and i hide of land in Sto- borough (no. 201), but neither place occurs again. William Malbank had 3 hides in Trill (no. 225), attached to Clifton Maybank, but Trill is not mentioned elsewhere. About a quarter of the manors in Dorset in 1086 were parts of divided vills. A large proportion of the manors amounted to no more than 2 or 3 hides, and even the large manors were not as extensive as those in other south-western counties. Sherborne (no. 37), the largest manor in Dorset, was assessed at 43 hides, Piddletrenthide (no. 69) and Sturminster Marshall (no. 232) were each assessed at 30 hides, and Sydling St. Nicholas (no. 93) was assessed at 29 hides. Apart from these only 11 manors were assessed at 20 10 DOMESDAY SURVEY hides or over.33 Most of them belonged to ecclesiastical tenants, but Loders (nos. 13 and ix), assessed at 20 hides, had belonged to Earl Harold and was held by the king in 1086, Canford Magna (no. 243), assessed at 25 hides, belonged to Edward of Salisbury, and Broadwindsor (no. 505), assessed at 20 hides, belonged to Hunger fitz Odin. After the assessment in hides is recorded the number of ploughs which could be employed on the manor. Occasionally it happens that the number of hides and the number of ploughs which could be employed are identical. At Frampton (no. 121) there were 25^ hides and there was land for the same number of ploughs {terra est totidem cariicanim). In a few cases the number of teamlands exceeds the number of hides, usually as a result of beneficial hidation. At Puddletown (nos. 8 and ii) there was land for 15 ploughs, but the manor was assessed at \ hide. Beneficial hidation is more usual in the case of ecclesiastical than lay land but two manors of the Count of Mortain, Stanton St. Gabriel (no. 210), and Wootton Fitzpaine (no. 211), were beneficially hidated. In the majority of cases, however, the number of hides exceeds the number of teamlands. This sometimes appears to affect the value of the manor. Stal- bridge (no. 42) was assessed at 20 hides, but had land for only 16 ploughs. It was worth ^iT,. Similarly Tolpuddle (nos. no and Ixvi), assessed at 18 hides, had land for 12 ploughs and was worth ^(^12 and Stour (no. 127), assessed at 17 hides, had land for 10 ploughs and was worth ^\o. On the other hand Piddletrenthide (no. 69), assessed at 30 hides, but with land for only 17 ploughs, was worth ^^30. There is no discernible relation between the hidage of a manor, representing the geld assessment, and the number of teamlands, representing an estimate of agricultural capacity. The relation between the teamlands and the number of ploughs actually at work on the manor is likewise not constant. Sometimes their numbers coincide. At Dorchester (nos. 4 and xii) there was land for 56 ploughs and 56 ploughs were actually being used there. In some instances there were more ploughs than teamlands. At Chardstock (no. 49) there was land for 20 ploughs, but 21 ploughs were actually there, and the same figures apply in the case of Cerne Abbas (nos. 76 and xxxix). At Stockland (nos. 106 and Ixxx) there was land for 16 ploughs, but 22 ploughs were actually there, and at Abbotsbury (nos. 109 and Iviii) there was land for 16 ploughs, but 21 ploughs were actually there. It is worth noting that Abbotsbury was assessed at 21 hides. In most cases, however, the number of ploughs falls short of the number of teamlands. Some 180 manors had fewer ploughs than teamlands, as compared with 150 manors where there were equal numbers, and 24 with an excess of ploughs. A considerable number of entries (no), referring to the smaller manors, record teamlands but no ploughs. The values of these manors do not seem to be affected. Woolgarston (no. 297) was assessed at 2 hides and had land for 2 ploughs, and was worth j^z, although no ploughs are actually recorded. The teamlands are given for the manor as a whole, but the ploughs are divided into those in demesne and those held by the peasants. The question whether the villani alone held the men's ploughs or whether they were shared by all the peasants is discussed elsewhere.^* In the absence of evidence to the contrary it is to be assumed that the ploughs in question were drawn by teams of 8 oxen. There is no mention in the Dorset survey of the number of oxen to a plough-team, although oxen are mentioned in the case of some small manors. Eight small manors, each assessed at i virgate, are said to have land for 2 oxen,35 and Wintreburne (nos. 387 and cxix), assessed at i| virgate, had land for 3 " Frampton (no.

II A HISTORY OF DORSET oxen. Woodstreet (no. 508), assessed at 3 virgates, had land for 6 oxen. Brige or Brigam (nos. 348, 393 and cxxvi, 465) was divided into three manors of i virgate each, each of which had land for 2 oxen. But Lewell (no. 492), assessed at 3 virgates, had land for only 2 oxen, and Gillingham (no. 490), assessed at only \ virgate, also had land for 2 oxen. Apart from these two cases the evidence suggests that a manor assessed at i hide would be likely to have land for 8 oxen or i plough. The value of each manor is generally given twice ; the first value being what it was worth at some time before 1086, the second what it was worth in 1086. In three cases the Exchequer text states that the earlier value relates to the time when the manor was received by the man who held it in 1086 {qtiando recepit). Exon. Domesday shows that this was the case in most entries, since it nearly always says that the manor was worth so much when its present owner received it. Sometimes Exon. departs from this practice. In the case of the manor of Puddletown Exon. in effect gives three values: Ex tempore regis Edzcardi hec mansio cum omnibus appendiciis suis reddidit per annum Ixxiii libras et quando Aiidfus {recepit) reddebat tantundem. In the cases of two manors belonging to the queen the previous values were the values in her lifetime; Cranborne (nos. 16 and xxii) and Ashmore (nos. 17 and xxiii) rendered respectively ;^24 and £1^ vivente regina. Similarly Chaldon (nos. 408 and cxli) valet per annum viii libras et quando Hugo recepit eam zalebat x libras et in zita Hugonis reddidit xi libras. For most of the manors of Cerne Abbey the previous value relates to the time quando abbas recepit, but at Rens- combe (nos. 91 and liv) this was defined as quando abbas W. recepit, and at Littlebredy (nos. 85 and xlviii) the former value was that tempore E. abbatis. Exon. Domesday reveals that some manors were being held at farm, such as Child Okeford (nos. 7 and i) by Fulcred, and Loders (nos. 13 and ix) by Roger. Both manors had belonged to Earl Harold and were held by the king in 1086. Woodsford (nos. 82 and xlv) was held by Bristuard at farm of Cerne Abbey. The Exchequer text omits these farmers, although it records that 6 men held Ringstead (no. 463) at farm of Brictuin. It is also plain that Osmund the baker's manor of Galton (no. 507) was held for rent by the four men there, who paid 12^. 6d., since no 1086 value is recorded for the manor. Similarly Lyme (no. 36), belonging to the Bishop of Salisbury, was held by fishermen who paid 15*. ad pisces, but no 1086 value is recorded, and Ower (nos. 105 and Ixxix) was held by 13 salt-workers who paid 20^. In all three cases the money paid by the tenants is the only recorded income from the manor, and they must have held the manors at a money rent. The value of the Count of Mortain's manor of Nyland (no. 150) was omitted because it was waste {rasta est) and no value is given for Odo fitz Eurebold's manor of Petersham (no. 375). The values of about one-fifth of the manors seem to have been based on a figure of ^i a hide, and in a few other cases the previous value had been based on this figure, but had changed. The tendency was for values to rise rather than fall. The effect of the teamlands on this valuation has already been shown. Other con- siderations also seem to have affected the value. In the case of Puddletown (nos. 8 and ii), assessed at i hide and with land for 15 ploughs, the value of £^2 must have taken into account the income derived from the third penny of the shire which was attached to this manor. Some of the manors which may be supposed to have been heads of hundreds were worth considerably more than one would expect, and it is possible that their values were affected by the profits from the hundred courts. At Sherborne (no. 37) the Bishop of Salisbur\''s demesne, consisting of 12 hides and 16 carucates which never paid geld, was worth £s'^- The bishop's demesne at Beaminster (no. 46) consisted of 6 hides and 2 carucates, and was worth ;Ci6. Loders (nos. 13 and ix), assessed at 18 12 DOMESDAY SURVEY hides, was worth ^^33, and Frampton (no. 121), assessed at 25^ hides, was worth ^^40. The value seems to have represented the amount at which the manor could be leased. At Wraxall (nos. 328 and c) there were 3 hides worth £2 ^rid comparison with Exon. Domesday shows that 4 villani held this land for ^3 rent. Similarly the 3 thegns with 3 hides at Cranborne (nos. 16 and xxii) paid ^3. On the other hand, Brictuin, who held 4 hides worth ^^5 at Cerne Abbas (nos. 76 and xxxix), paid 30^. It is difficult to compare earlier values with those of 1086, since there are several manors for which no previous value is recorded. In some cases it is legitimate to assume that the value had not changed, but in others this assumption would be misleading. No previous values are given for any of the estates of the New Minster, Winchester, Abbotsbury Abbey, Horton Abbey, Athelney Abbey, or the Countess of Boulogne. Only one or two of the manors of Milton Abbey, Tavistock Abbey, and Wilton Abbey have their previous values recorded, and previous values are given for only 4 of the Bishop of Salisbury's manors and 3 of the abbey of Glastonbury's manors. The previous value is given for the smaller of Serle of Burcy's manors, but not for the larger, and previous values are given for less than half the manors of William of Briouze. These fiefs have consequently been omitted from Table 2, except for those of the Countess of Boulogne and Tavistock Abbey which are supplied by Exon. Domesday.

The latter must be the villani. As the more prosperous class, they are usually enumer- ated first. 3'' Their exact status and the actual composition of the class as a whole are difficult to establish, but they were clearly not serfs. Although the word villanus in Domesday may conveniently be translated as 'villein', it had not by that date acquired the connotation of someone unfree that it had in later centuries. In 1086 it meant simply a man who lived in a vill, and was equivalent to the Anglo-Saxon word tunesman.-^° The class of villani must have included men who would have been described as geburs in pre-Conquest documents, but this is not to say that the two classes were coterminous. Men like the 4 villani holding 3 hides of land at Wraxall (nos. 328 and c) for rent could not have been classified as geburs, and among the villani of Domesday there must be included men who at one time had been free ceorls but had become economically dependent on a Norman lord. There is evidence that men whom pre-Conquest docu- ments would have called geneats (and Domesday itself, in some instances, radknights) were sometimes included among the villani.^^ That some similar change had taken place in Dorset is suggested by a comparison of the Domesday description of Iwerne Minster (no. 131), belonging to Shaftesbury Abbey, and the description of the same manor preserved in a survey of the abbey's land about 1130. The survey states that the chaplain of Iwerne Minster had de imoquoque genet i daiwenie ambrani. The Domesday description of the manor records only 29 villani and 20 bordars. The evidence of the later survey suggests that some of these men were, or had been, geneats.-*^ In Dorset many manors were very small and were held by quite large groups of thegns in 1066, and it is plain that some of these thegns can have been hardly more prosperous in economic terms than the villani. In two instances it seems almost as if the pre-Conquest thegns or their heirs had survived as dependents of a Norman lord and were classed as villani in Domesday. Kingcombe (no. 247), assessed at 34 virgates, was held by 5 thegns T.R.E. In 1086 it belonged to Ernulf of Hesdin. He does not seem to have had any demesne there, and the only peasants were 5 villani, holding a plough. Another of Ernulf's manors.

But in general the villani precede the bordars, cotsets, and cottars. ■•» V.C.H. Hunts, i. 324. •" F. M. Stenton, Anglo-Saxon Eng. 471. « B. M. Harl. MS. 61, ff. 4SV-46. 15 A HISTORY OF DORSET T.R.E. In this manor, too, Ernulf does not seem to have had any demesne, and it was occupied by 7 villani with a plough. It is tempting to see here small, impoverished thegns, seeking the protection of a Norman lord, and being classified by the Domesday commissioners on the basis of their small holdings and not that of their wergild or social status/-^ The Domesday survey of Middlesex gives details of the land held by the peasants, +4 but the Dorset survey is not so informative. Exon. Domesday, however, supplies a little information. At Winterborne Houghton (nos. 275 and bcxxv) a certain villaniis, whom the Exchequer text does not mention, held \ virgate, and at Tarente (nos. 400 and cxxxiii) a villarnis qui niauet held a virgate and 1 plough. At Burcombe (nos. 115 and Ixii) there were 2 villani qui tenent illam terram, assessed at \ hide. Tenements of a virgate and \ virgate were common on the estates of Shaftesbury Abbey in the 1 2th century, and on the estates of Peterborough Abbey at the same period villani with a virgate were called pleni villani and villani with \ virgate dimidii villani or semi villani y^ At Swanage (nos. 515 and xxxviii), belonging to the Countess of Boulogne, a single villaniis appears to have held the whole manor, assessed at i hide and ^ virgate, with a plough. The countess had no demesne in this manor in 1086.+^ Neither Exon. Domesday nor the Exchequer text has anything to say about such services as weekwork or ploughing. Villani paving money are mentioned only once, at Wraxall (nos. 328 and c) belonging to Roger Arundel. William held 3 hides at Wraxall of Roger Arundel which, according to Exon. Domesday, were held by 4 villani for £t, degablo.*'^ In view of the large amount of money involved it seems possible that the villani were holding the land at farm. Although this circumstance is rare, four cases are definitelj' recorded in Domesday, including two in the neighbouring county of Devon, at Herstanhaia and Lympstone.*^ In addition to these instances in Devon, two manors in Hampshire, Alverstoke and Millbrook, belonging to the abbey of Winchester, were held by the villani and may have been at farm, and in Surrey, Clandon, belonging to Chertsey Abbey, was held by the villani for a money rent.-*^ Information about the ploughs held by the villani is even scantier than that about their land. It is not certain whether the men's ploughs were held by the villani alone, or whether they were shared among all the peasants. The evidence on this point is vague and contradictors'. The formula emploved by Exon. Domesday would at first sight imply that only the villani had ploughs. A typical entry, for Abbotsbur}' (nos. 109 and Iviii), runs: habet abbas viii hidas et v carrucas in dotninio et villani xxiii hidas et xvi carrucas. Ibi habet abbas xxxii villanos et xvi bordarios et xiiii servos. This language seems to exclude the bordars from a share in the land and ploughs. But from other entries in Exon. it appears that the term villani was employed in two ways, both to designate the villani themselves, and to mean the whole group of peasants as opposed to the lord. At Cruxton (nos. 279 and Ixxxix) villani (habent) i hidam . . . et i carriicam, but there were no villani, only 9 bordars and a servus. In this case it is obvious that villani means simply the men, and this is probably the meaning throughout. =° The *> On the likelihood that some such process had taken ■** Dom. Bk. (Rec.

Two entries distinctly say that the ploughs were shared among all the peasants. At Burton Bradstock (nos. 2 and x) there were 41 villani, 30 bordars, 7 coliberti, and 74 cottars, and inter omnes habent xxvii carucas, and at Wai (no. 163) Hi coscez cum uno Tillano habefit imam carucam. On the other hand, two entries specifically assign the plough to the villani alone. At Corscombe (no. 488) there was unus villanus cum i caruca et an bordariis et i servo, and at Stoke Abbott (no. 45) ibi est in dominio i caruca cum i servo et vi coscez. Ibi viii villani habent iiii carucas. At Woolcombe (no. 262) the bordars but not the cottars seem to be sharing in the ploughs {ii villani et viii bordarii cum i caruca et Hi cotarii). With this basic uncertainty it is obviously difficult to decide what fraction of a plough was held by the average villanus. Only the total number of ploughs is given and there is no guarantee that they were shared equally among the villani even if the share of the bordars and cottars could be satisfactorily established. In 19 cases the villani were either the only peasants or can be shown to have held all the ploughs. In 10 of these cases the proportion of villani to ploughs is exactly or approximately 2:1, so that it is possible that each villanus held about J plough. In 5 cases the proportion is exactly or approximately 4:1. There are 3 cases of a villanus with a whole team (nos. 182, 488, and 515) and at Gillingham (no. 250) there is the extremely rare case of a villanus with two teams of which there are only two other known examples, at Haiugurge (Suss.) and Keresforth (Yorks. W.R.).5' The bordars, cotsets, and cottars, who are enumerated after the villani, together form the cottager class, corresponding to the kotsetlan of the Rectitudines Singularum Personarum. The bordars are by far the most numerous, and usually take precedence over the cotsets, who in turn take precedence over the cottars.^^ Since the Domesday commissioners took the trouble to distinguish three classes of cottagers, there must have been some diflFerence between them, but the nature of this difference is now unknown and there is evidence that the distinction was not clear-cut even in the nth and 1 2th centuries. In the summary of the fief of Glastonbury Abbey in Exon. Domesday it is stated that the abbot had 72 bordars, whereas according to the Ex- chequer text he had 40 bordars and 32 cottars. The Exon. figure thus lumps the bordars and cottars together without distinction. s^ It is noticeable, also, that the Shaftesbury surveys of the 12th century record only cotsets, whereas in all but one case the Domesday account of the manors of that abbey mentions only bordars.'-* Round noted that in the accounts of Surrey and Sussex the cottager class were called bordars in some areas and cottars in others, the terms being mutually exclusive." The Middlesex survey, on the other hand, which is the only one to record individual peasant holdings, suggests that there was a distinction between bordars and cottars based on the size of their holdings. Whereas most bordars in Middlesex had tenements of between 5 and 15 acres, the majority of cottars had no land at all or only their gardens. Those cottars who did have land had as a rule between i acre and 5 acres, only two having more than this. Only 54 out of 342 bordars had less than 5 acres, and only 9 had no land at all.s^ Whether this distinction holds good in Dorset is conjectural, since there are no details of individual holdings, but a distinction of this sort can be seen in the survey of 5' Dom. Bk. (Rec. Com.), i, ff. 2ib, 317; see also R. " Seep. 148. Lennard, 'The Economic Position of the Domesday " Qn one occasion the Shaftesbury surveys do use the Villani', Econ. Jnl.

MS. 61, f. 48V), which is the only Shaftesbury together in a single entry, but when bordars are found with manor where cotsets are recorded in Domesday (no. 130). cotsets or cottars they are enumerated first, and when " V.C.H.

Ill 17 * A HISTORY OF DORSET Hinton St. Mary, belonging to Shaftesbury Abbey, in the later I2th century. There the cotsettle, with 5 acres each, are distinguished from the cotarii, who had only their houses and gardens. ^^ The distinction between bordars and cotsets is, if anything, more problematical. It has been suggested that they were alternative names for the same group, bordar (from borde, meaning a wooden hut) being the French equivalent of the Anglo-Saxon kotsetla or cotset, but since bordars and cotsets occur together on two Dorset manors, this cannot be so.^^ Such information as there is about the holdings of the bordars comes from Exon. Domesday. At Cerne (nos. 108 and Ixxxii) 7 bordars had a virgate and 5 acres, at Waia (nos. 380 and cxii) 6 bordars had i hide, and at Nutford (nos. 28 and xxxiii) there were 8 cotsets, two of whom held 8 acres, 5' while the third was apparently landless. There are no entries crediting the cottars with any land. In several cases the statement that the villani have so much land is followed by information about bordars or cotsets only. At Wintrebiirne (nos. 103 and Ixxvii), for example, the rillani are said to have a hide and a virgate, but there were in fact two bordars. ^° There is one striking entry concerning bordars (no. 480) where two of them held a \ virgate which they themselves had held freely T.R.E.: Duo bordarii tenent quartam partem uniiis virgate terre. Valet xv denarios. Ipsi libere temierunt T.R.E. The locality is not given, but it may have been part of Stourton Caundle which is the subject of the preceding entry. These two bordars do not appear to have been holding of any lord other than the king, and though their holding is very small it is not unique in this respect, since Al- ward, a thegn, held J virgate (perhaps part of Wilksworth) rendering 30^/. (no. 446) as a manor. There is nothing to suggest that the two bordars were not holding as freely in 1086 as in 1066. There is even less information about the rents and services of the bordars. Money rents are recorded twice. At Langton Herring (nos. 23 and xxix) there were eight bordars, one of whom paid 30^., and at Lewell (no. 492) two bordars paid 2od. There is no reference to weekwork, ploughing, or any other services. The question of the bordars' share in the men's ploughs has already been discussed. On manors where there were no villain ploughs were held by bordars and sometimes cotsets, but never by cottars. At Frampton (no. 121) 24 bordars and 7 cottars had 14 ploughs, but whether the cottars shared the ploughs with the bordars or not cannot be determined.^' At Wintrebiirne (no. 179) 7 cotsets had \ plough. At Shilvinghampton (no. 216) there was land for i plough que ibi est cum i coscet, and at Moleham (no. 511) there was land for i plough que ibi est cum i cotario. It is hardly likely in these cases that each held a full team. Probably the ploughs belonged to the lord, and the bordars were merely in charge of them in the absence of servi. There are indications that bordars were some- times attached to the demesne ploughs. At Worth Matravers (nos. 332 and civ) there was land for h plough que ibi est cum Hi bordariis, and the corresponding Exon. entry shows that the plough belonged to the lord and not to the bordars ; ibi habet Rogerus dimidiam carriicam et Hi bordarios. At Creech (nos. 412 and cxlv) there was land for \ plough que ibi est cum iiii bordariis, and the Exon. entry shows that this \ plough was in demesne. After the villani and bordars the largest group of peasants was that of the servi, of whom there were 1,161 in Dorset in 1086. Large numbers oi servi vftre found in all the " B. M. Harl.

It is true to say, however, that in 1086 servi were most numerous in the area of the old West Saxon kingdom.^2 Apart from the male servi three female ancille were recorded at Crichel (no. 266).^^ It is probable that most of the servi recorded in Domesday were ploughmen. They are usually recorded in conjunction with the number of ploughs in demesne, and it is not uncommon to find a ratio of 2:1 between the servi and the demesne ploughs. "^-^ Where the number of servi falls short of the amount necessary to yield such a ratio, the deficiency can sometimes be supplied from some other class, such as the bovarii in Warwickshire, whose name indicates that they were ploughmen. ^5 No bovarii are recorded in Dorset in 1086, but in one instance the coliberti seem to occupy a similar position. At Sturminster Newton (no. 63) there was in demesne land for 14 ploughs, although the entry does not say how many ploughs were actually there. There were only 15 servi but in addition there were 13 coliberti, whose number combined with that of the servi yields a ratio of 2 : i with the number of ploughs which could be in demesne. That the coliberti were sometimes linked with the demesne ploughs in the same way as the servi was demonstrated by Round in his introduction to the Somerset Domesday. ^^ Their name suggests that the coliberti were freed servi. They occur only in the area of Wessex and western Mercia and appear in considerable numbers in some counties, though there were only 33 in Dorset. Apart from the 13 already mentioned at Sturminster Newton they were all on manors which had belonged to King Edward, 12 at Dorchester, 7 at Burton Bradstock, and i at Pimperne. At Dorchester and Pimperne they were grouped with the demesne ploughs and the servi, but at Burton Bradstock they were placed between the bordars and the cottars and the wording of the entry does not exclude them from a share in the men's ploughs. ''^ In another instance a cotset seems to be associated with the servi and the demesne ploughs. At Uploders (no. 206) there was land for 2 ploughs que ibi sunt cum i coscet et Hi servis.^^ Comparison between Domesday and the surveys dating from the 12th century indicates a decrease in the number of servi after 1086. The earlier survey of the lands of Holy Trinity, Caen, records servi at Felstead (Essex) and Horstead (Norf.), but at Tarrant Launceston in Dorset, where there were 14 servi in 1086 (no. 141), no servi are recorded at all, and there has been a corresponding increase in the number of bordars. ^^ In 1086 there was only one bordar but in the 12th century there were 13 bordars together with a smith and a shepherd. It has been suggested^o that the successors of the servi were to be found among the bovarii and bubulci who figure so largely in the surveys. The Shaftesbury Abbey surveys^^ do not mention servi at all, with the possible exception of a cliens qui servit in aula at Cheselbourne.^^ There are, however, numerous references " In 1086, according to Ellis {Gen. Introd. to Dom. Bk. " Ec. H. R. Suppl. ii. 7-8. ii), there were 995 servi in Norf., 905 in Suff., 1,768 in '''> V.C.H. Som. i. 426. Essex, and 1,148 in Kent.

At Chesel- bourne the bubulci had 5 acres each (quit of all dues except geld), a piece of land, and a beast quit of herbage ^ro utensilibus caruce quorum parteiii emunt de suo et partem accipiunt in nostram sikamJ^ At Compton Abbas and Melbury Abbas the cotsets appear to have taken part in ploughing the demesne. On both manors the cotsets ad carucas educendas habent dimidiam ambram et dimidiam multonemJ^ After describing the peasants Domesday gives an account of the non-arable appurtenances of the manor, such as meadow, pasture, and wood. Meadow (pratum) was an important adjunct, since, in the absence of root crops, hay was the staple diet of farm animals in wintertime^? Out of 515 manors recorded in the Dorset survey 418 had associated meadow, although only 63 manors had more than 25 acres. Occasionally the meadow lav at some distance from the manor to which it was attached. The Bishop of Salisbury had 130 acres of meadow attached to the manor of Sherborne (no. 37), 3 acres of which were in Somerset tuxta Meleburne. At Bingham's Melcombe (no. 30) 12 acres of meadow had been leased to Wlgar Wit T.R.E. and were held by William Belet in 1086, while at Rushton (nos. 407 and cxl) the wife of Hugh fitz Grip had subinfeu- dated the entire manor to two knights, retaining in demesne only 16 acres of meadow. Meadow was naturally located on or near rivers and streams, the largest concentrations lying along the valley of the Stour. Pasture {pastura, pascua), though less common than meadow, occurs in connexion with 366 manors and was spread over a larger area. One entr\' records an encroachment of arable land on pasture. At Swyre (no. 263) there was a piece of land which prius erat pascualis modo seminabilis. This land had been leased T.R.E. to Toxus the priest by a king's reeve, just as the meadow at Melcombe had been leased to Wlgar Wit. At Spetisbun,- (nos. 274 and Ixxxiv) there was a piece of pasture 2\ furlongs long by 2 furlongs wide, and in alio loco super aquanf^ another piece 2\ furlongs long by i-i furlong wide. A similar entr}', concerning Tarrant Rawston(nos. 404 and cxxxvii), records a piece of pasture 3 furlongs by 2 furlongs and in alio loco another piece, measuring 8 furlongs. At Mapperton (no. 137) there were inter pasturam et silvam xi quarentine lojigitiidine et tantundem latitudine. This may mean a piece of grassland with scattered clumps of trees, or it may refer to the use of woodland for grazing. Woods [sika, ne?nus) were used to pasture pigs^'' as well as to provide fuel and timber for building houses and barns. ''^ At Stoke Wake in the 12th century Wulfric the priest had 10 pigs free of pannage in the Abbess of Shaftesbury's wood.'^' Wood which did not provide acorns and beechmast on which pigs could feed was called silra in- fructuosa, like the wood at Renscombe (nos. 91 and liv). According to Exon. Domesday, the wood at Nettlecombe (nos. 88 and li) nullum fructum fert, although the Exchequer text does not say that it was infructuosa. Silra minuta and silva modica are both recorded occasionally in the Dorset survey. What precisely these terms implied is now difficult •' B.M. Harl. MS. 6i, ff. 45V, 55; cf.

Harl. 20 DOMESDAY SURVEY to determine, but they may both be translated as 'underwood'. ^o Marshland (broca) is recorded at Lytchett Matravers (no. 260) and a league of marshland at Wimborne Minster was attached to the manor of Canford Magna (no. 243). Heathland (bruaria) is recorded at Boveridge (no. 71) in Cranborne. The main concentrations of woodland in 1086 were in the areas of the later forests.^' Although forests were not necessarily wooded areas, they frequently comprised large stretches of woodland. The only Dorset forest mentioned in Domesday is the forest of Wimborne, in which the king held the two best hides (dims meliores hidas) of Horton (no. 1 17) belonging to Horton Abbey. The wood (boscus) of Hauocumbe was attached to the manor of Burton Bradstock (nos. 2 and x), the third oak {qiiercus) being appurtenant to the manor of Frampton (no. 121). Pasture and woodland were generally measured in leagues and furlongs {leuge, quarentine). At Handley (no. 125), for example, there was woodland i league in length and \ league in width. It is difficult to see exactly what is being measured. The figures cannot in any case be more than a rough estimate of the extent of the wood or pasture, and cannot be taken as a reliable guide to the shape of the land in question. Other units of measurement sometimes used are perches {pertice) and virgates {rirgate). At Poxwell (nos. 81 and xliv) there was pastiira ziii quarentine et xxvi virgate longitudine et in quarentine et xiiii pertice latitudine, and at Symondsbury (nos. 92 and Iv) there was pastura v quarentine longitudine et una quarentina latitudine x virgatas minus. The acre is sometimes used as a linear measurement. At Wootton Fitzpaine (no. 211) there was vii quarentine et iiii acras (sic) pasture. It is also not uncommon to find only one measure- ment given. At Hinton Martell (no. 31) there was una leuga stive, and at Little Puddle (nos. 14 and iii) x quarentine pasture. At Dewlish (no. 148) there was woodland ri quarentine in longitudine et latitudine and pasture xxiii quarentitie inter longitudinem et latitudinem . It is uncertain what these phrases mean. They may be equivalent to the iormvXvi pastura iii leuge longitudine et tantundem latitudine (nos. 6 and xv), or they may represent an attempt to use the furlong as a square measure. A fresh difficulty is created by the fact that there is no indication how many furlongs there were in the league. Round considered that in Worcestershire there were four, since three furlongs was the largest measurement under the league. But at Shillingstone (no. 367) in Dorset there was pasture 42 furlongs long and 8 furlongs wide, and woodland 23 furlongs long and 9 furlongs wide. One is left with the problem of which is the larger; pasture 42 furlongs by 8 furlongs or pasture 4 leagues long and as much in width. This uncertainty makes any comparison of the relative sizes of stretches of pasture or woodland extremely difficult, and the situation is complicated by the fact that both pasture and woodland are sometimes measured in acres, especially in the case of underwood {silva minuta). It is impossible to say whether 140 acres of pasture (no. 223) is more or less than the amounts measured in leagues and furlongs. ^^ Among the other manorial assets mills were the most important. There were 276 mills in Dorset in 1086, attached to 178 manors. Some large concentrations are recorded; 12 at Dorchester (nos. 4 and xii), 12 at Sherborne (no. 37), 8 at Burton Bradstock (nos. 2 and x), and 8 at Wimborne Minster (nos. 3 and xi). In addition, 3 manors had 4 mills each, 10 manors had 3 mills each, and 30 manors had 2 mills each. Fractions of mills are sometimes recorded. There was half a mill at Worgret (nos. 84 and xlvii) belonging to Cerne Abbey. Worgret was a divided vill, and the other half of this mill belonged to the manor held by William of Briouze (no. 293). At Child Okeford (no. *° Prof. Darby so translates them at Ec. H. R. N.s. iii. ham, Blackmore, and Cranborne Chase. 37, and in the Domesday Geography series. '^ The amount of meadow is almost always expressed " F. W. Morgan, 'Domesday Woodland in SW. Eng.' in acres, but for meadow measured in furlongs, see nos. Antiquity, x. 316. The forests were Powerstock, Gilling- 110, 146, and 380. DO. Ill 21 B2 A HISTORY OF DORSET I ^2) the Count of Mortain had half of two mills {medietas ii moUnorum) rendering 10s. Part of Child Okeford (nos. 7 and i) was held by the king, who held there two mills rendering 205. of which, according to Exon. Domesday, medietatem partu (sic) habet rex. At Tarrant Crawford (no. 436) Alvric had a \ mill rendering 30^. Three quarters of a mill rendering 95. were recorded at the unnamed manor (no. 494) belonging to William de Dalmar, which is presumably why Eyton identified this manor as part of Tarrant Crawford.**^ Both Alvric's manor of Tarrant Crawford and William de Dalmar's unnamed manor can with some confidence be assigned to the hundred of Celeberge^^ so that Eyton may well have been correct. One third of a mill is recorded at Winbiirne (nos. 388 and cxx) belonging to the wife of Hugh fitz Grip. It is possible that this was part of the mill recorded at Hervey the chamberlain's manor of Wimborne St. Giles (no. 499) where the entry reads in molino ville xxii et dimidia and then breaks off leaving a space. At Morden (no. 473) Ulvric had \id. de parte molini, perhaps part of the mill at Morden (no. 172) held by the Count of Mortain. There was also h mill at Watercombe (no. 29) and another J mill at Ringstead (no. 359), each rendering 45. The other halves cannot be traced. The mill of Stoborough (no. 201), belonging to the Count of Mortain, had h hide of land and 3 bordars attached to it. The mill at Povington (no. 242), belonging to Robert fitz Gerold, was claimed ad opus regis. The renders from mills varied considerably. At Sherborne, where there were 12 mills, four rendered jointly 18^. 6d., three rendered jointly 30^., three others 22^., one 105., and one 55. Where the composite render from a number of mills is given, it is not possible to deduce how much each one was worth since there is no guarantee that the money was divided equally. At Waia (nos. 380 and cxii) there were 3 mills which rendered 355. and Exon. Domesday shows that while one of them rendered 10^. the other two rendered 25^. Of 131 mills for which individual values are given 45 rendered less than 55., 43 rendered from 55. to 10s., and 43 rendered 10^. and over. Renders in kind are mentioned once only, at Tarrant Keyneston (no. 60), where two mills rendered 30^. and 1,000 eels. The largest numbers of mills were on the upper reaches of the Stour. Mills are sometimes mentioned in the 12th-century surveys of the land of Shaftesbury Abbey. At Compton Abbas, in the earlier survey, the abbess supplied the timber of the mill, the miller himself the mill-stones, and the villani transported the mill-stones to the mill. 85 At Bradford-on-Avon (Wilts.), in the same survey, the miller had timber from the wood yearly, the villani helped in the repair of the mill and the transportation of the mill-stones, and in return the miller did not receive toll from the lord's malt.^*' The mill at Compton was worth 45. 2.d. at the time of Domesday (no. 129) and according to the earlier survey, the miller still rendered 45. 2d. in the 12th century, but this is the only such correspondence between Domesday and the Shaftesbury surveys. Salt-pans and salt-workers are occasionally m^entioned in Dorset, although the county was not an important centre of the salt industry. The Count of Mortain had 32 salt-pans {saline) at Studland (no. 209) which rendered 405. and 12 at Wai (no. 163), and 16 salt-workers {salinarii) at Charmouth (no. 215). Glastonbury Abbey had 13 salt-workers rendering 13^. at Colway in Lyme Regis (no. 68), Milton Abbey had 13 rendering 20^. at Ower in Purbeck (nos. 105 and Ixxix), and William Belet had 14 at Lyme (no. 504). The production of salt seems to have been confined to three areas, the Isle of Purbeck (Studland and Ower), the mouth of the Wey {Wai), and Lyme Regis *' R. W.

At Bradford in the second sur\ey the (sic) de bosco domine: ibid. f. 71. 22 DOMESDAY SURVEY (Colway and Lyme). Later evidence records saltcotes in the same areas. Robert of Lincoln, in his charter founding the priory of Holme as a cell of Montacute, gave to it one tithe of salt from his saltcotes adjoining the manor of Langton Matravers, and Robert's son Alvred in confirming and extending his father's grant mentions a tithe of salt from his saltcotes in Purbeck.^^ in the second survey of Shaftesbury Abbey's lands (dating from the later 12th century) there is an account of Arne in Purbeck, which consisted of a hide of land devoted entirely to the production of salt.^s Since all the places named are on the seaboard, it is evident that the salt was refined from sea water and not from brine-pits, and the account of Arne mentions the plumba, leaden vessels used to collect and boil the sea-water and isolate the salt.^^ Fishermen (piscatores) are recorded in the Lyme Regis and Weymouth areas. The manor of Lyme, belonging to the Bishop of Salisbury (no. 36), was held by an unstated number of fishermen who paid 155. to the monks adpisces.'^° At Brige (no. 348), belong- ing to Aiulf the chamberlain, there were 2 fishermen, and 2 more in the same place belonging to Brictuin (no. 465). This manor lay in the neighbourhood of Weymouth.^' These were obviously sea-fishermen, and it is plain that they cannot have been the total of fishermen in Dorset at this time. The second survey of Shaftesbury Abbey twice refers to the herrings of Wareham, and there must have been a fishing fleet to catch them.92 'Phe Qnly reference to fishing in weirs is the statement that the 2 mills at Tarrant Keyneston (no. 60) rendered i ,000 eels. Other manorial appurtenances occasionally recorded are vineyards, orchards, gardens, and honey. Two vineyards (vinee) are recorded, both belonging to Aiulf the chamberlain. At Durweston (no. 346) he had ii acre vinee and at Wootton Fitzpaine (no. 347) ii arpetiz vinee. One orchard (virgultiim) is recorded at the appropriately- named manor of Orchard (nos. 422 and civ) belonging to the wife of Hugh fitz Grip.'^ Gardens {orti) were more numerous. William of Eu had two gardens in Wareham attached to his manor of Lytchett Matravers (no. 260) and the Abbess of Shaftesbury had a garden in Shaftesbury itself. William of Moyon had a garden in Wareham attached to his manor of Poleham (nos. 276 and Ixxxvi), which is recorded in Exon. Domesday but not in the Exchequer text. Hugh's wife had a garden at Turners Puddle (nos. 391 and cxxiv), which again is mentioned only by Exon. Domesday. Renders of honey {mellis) are recorded twice: i sester (sextaritim) at Holworth (nos. 104 and Ixxviii) and 4 sesters at Rushton (no. 292). Waste land is rare in Dorset. Nyland (no. 150), held by Drew of the Count of Mortain, was waste {vasta est), and according to Exon. Domesday part of Hurpston (nos. 414 and cxlvii) was laid waste {hec terra omnino devastata est). This manor belonged to the wife of Hugh fitz Grip, whose hus- band was apparently responsible for the wasting of the Dorset boroughs^'* and the diminution of the value of Bloxworth (nos. 79 and xlii) and Affpuddle (nos. 80 and xliii), belonging to Cerne Abbey. At Stourton Caundle (no. 363) Hugh silvestris had a little manor assessed at J hide, with land for \ plough. He had there 2 bordars and 2 acres of meadow and nil amplius. It is not clear why he had no income from the manor. Exon. Domesday's largest single addition to the Exchequer account is the information about the livestock, which is entirely omitted by the Exchequer scribes. Since the '' Montacute Cartulary (Som.

Domesday all the livestock figures need to be treated with some care and it is doubtful what conclusions can be based on them. It is, however, immediately clear that sheep were overwhelmingly important in the county's economy. There were 22,362 sheep recorded on the lands of the 12 landowners covered by Exon. (see Table 4),^^ or approximately 88 per cent, of the total livestock. ]\Iost of them were ewes [ores), which could provide both wool and milk, but berbices, male sheep kept for mutton, are recorded at Renscombe (nos. 91 and Iv) and Mapperton (nos. 283 and xciii). The numbers of sheep are an indication of the importance of the wool trade even at this date.^^ The largest flocks belonged to the king and were at Cranborne (nos. 16 and xxii), where there were 1,037 sheep, and Puddletown (nos. 8 and ii), where there were 1,600. It is difficult to generalize about distribution from the incomplete data, but there appear to have been more sheep on the western and southern slopes of the North Dorset downs and in the valley of the Piddle than elsewhere. About 3,000 sheep are recorded in this area.97 Exon. Domesdav, however, covers few manors in the north of Dorset, and Cranborne, with its 1,037 sheep, mav have been the nucleus of an equally important sheep-farming area. Over 2,000 sheep were pastured in the coastal areas opposite Chesil Beach. ^^ Sheep provided not only wool and mutton but cheese and milk, which was used much more than cow's milk. She-goats {capre), of which there were 811 in Dorset, were also kept for meat and milk. Four manors which kept goats kept cows also : Cranborne (nos. 16 and xxii); Ibberton (nos. 10 and v); Renscombe (nos. 91 and Iv); and Farnham (nos. 396 and cxxix). Renscombe is the manor where only male sheep {berbices) were recorded. Onlv 58 cows {vacce) are recorded and it is unusual to find more than one or two on any single manor, although there were 4 at Ibberton, 4 at Holworth (nos. 104 and Ixxviii), 5 at Winterborne Monkton (nos. 514 and xxxvii), 6 at Wintre- burne {nos. 384andcxvi), 10 at Cranborne, and 13 at Staff^ord (nos. 383 and cxv). Animalia, usually considered to mean cattle other than the plough-oxen, are more numerous, amounting to 520 in all. Nine oxen {bores) are recorded at Affpuddle (nos. 80 and xliii). The most numerous animals after the sheep were pigs {porci), presumably because they were easy to feed, foraging for themselves in the woods and feeding off acorns and beech mast. There were 1,613 pig^ recorded in Exon. Domesday. T.\BLE 4 Livestock Recorded in Exon. Domesday The King Countess of Boulogne Ceme Abbey Abbotsbup.'

In such cases they must have grazed on the pasture, or perhaps in the forests if they were near enough, or on the stubble of the fields. At Cheselbourne, in the 1 2th century, Wulfric the priest hzd pascua suis porcis in stiplam cum porcis abba- tissey^ Cart or pack-horses (runcini) are recorded quite frequently, but in small numbers, usually only one or two to a manor. There were 122 in all. Mares (eque) are rare, being mentioned only three times, and numbering 25 in all. Roger Arundel had 12 unbroken mares {indomite eque) at Chelborough (nos. 324 and xcvi) and a mare at North Poorton (nos. 329 and ci), and at Turners Puddle (nos. 391 and cxxiv) the wife of Hugh fitz Grip had 12 mares with their foals {eque cum suis pullis). A single ass (asinus) is recorded at her manor of Frome Whitfield (nos. 377 and cix). The four Dorset boroughs, Dorchester, Wareham, Bridport, and Shaftesbury, con- form to the usual type of borough found in south-western England in 1086, small and not fully developed, but clearly distinguished from their agricultural surroundings. Of the boroughs three (Dorchester, Wareham, and Bridport) contributed to the firma unius noctis. Dorchester the borough was presumably connected with the group of manors headed by Dorchester (nos. 4 and xii) and Bridport with the group headed by Burton Bradstock (nos. 2 and x). Wareham was probably associated with Winfrith Newburgh (nos. 6 and xv), which is geographically nearest. A fourth group of royal manors, the Wimborne Minster group, seems to have had burgesses at its centre in 1086, although it was not at that time classed as a borough. A priest with land at Hinton Martell (no. 31) had 11 houses in Wimborne, and at Hinton also the church of Wimborne had li hide and | virgate, and 8 burgesses. It is not impossible that the burgesses were at Hinton, but they may equally well have been at Wimborne.' The abbey of Horton (no. 117) had a chapel (ecclesiola) and the land of two houses {terra duabus domibus) at Wimborne. The two best hides of the manor of Horton lay in the forest of Wimborne, and it is possible that the chapel and the land were given to the abbey by the king in exchange for these two hides just as the church of Gillingham was given to Shaftesbury Abbey in exchange for a hide at Kingston (no. 134). Edward of Salisbury had two bordars and a house in Wimborne attached to his manor of Canford Magna (no. 243), and also a league of marshland. The fact that four persons had land in Wimborne provides one characteristic (though not invariable) feature of a borough, 'tenurial heterogeneity'. ^ This characteristic is exhibited in varying degrees by the four boroughs. In Dorchester in 1086 there were 88 houses standing and 100 destroyed, but the account does not state to whom they belonged. One house in Dorchester belonged to the abbey of Horton (no. 117) and the Bishop of Salisbury had one burgess and 10 acres of land in Dorchester attached to his manor of Charminster (no. 32). The same bishop had J acre of land in Bridport (no. 48), where in 1086 there were 100 houses standing and 20 ruined but still inhabited. Their owners are not specified. Shaftesbury was divided between the king and the Abbess of Shaftesbury. In 1066 the king had held 104 houses and the abbess 153 houses. In 1086 the king had 66 houses standing and 38 destroyed and the abbess 1 1 1 houses standing and 43 destroyed. She had there 151 bur- gesses, 20 empty mansiones, and a garden, which together were worth ;^3 55. od. In Ware- ham T.R.E. there were 143 houses in dominio regis. In 1086 the king had 70 houses standing and 73 destroyed, the abbey of St. Wandrille had 45 houses standing and 17 destroyed, and de partibus aliorum baronum there were 20 houses standing and 60 »' B.M.

A church and i; houses in Wareham belonged to the abbey of Horton (no. 117). This church was probably that of St. Martin, which dates from the nth centur}\^ A house in Wareham was attached to the manor of Creech (no. 202), held by the Count of Mortain, and a house in Wareham belonged to the manor of Broadmayne (no. 223) held by Earl Hugh. Two burgesses and 12 acres belonging to the Bishop of Salisbur}', and a burgess in Wareham, were attached to the manor of Povington (no. 242) held by Robert fitz Ceroid. William of Eu had a bordar and two gardens in Wareham attached to his manor of Ljtchett Matravers (no. 260) and William of Moyon had a garden in Ware- ham attached to his manor of Polehatn (nos. 276 and Ixxxvi). At Hurpston (nos. 413 and cxlvi), belonging to the wife of Hugh fitz Grip, there was a burgess rendering 8^. In view of the proximity of Hurpston to Wareham, it seems not unlikely that he was in Wareham ."^ Although some burgesses are said to render money, there is nothing to throw light on their form of tenure, or the rate at which they paid rent. The burgess attached to Povington rendered 2S., the one at Hurpston 8d. The Abbess of Shaftesbury had 65^. from 151 burgesses, 20 empty tnansiones, and a garden. Assuming the empty mansiones to be unproductive and discounting the garden, the burgesses may have paid about 2^. each. The values of property in the boroughs are only incidentally mentioned. The church and five houses attached to Horton rendered b^d., about i^d. a house. The house attached to Broadmayne rendered ^d. The Bishop of Salisbury had a house at Lyme rendering 6d., and his \ acre in Bridport rendered the same amount. William of IMoyon's garden in Wareham rendered 3^. Each of the four boroughs was assessed for geld. Bridport was assessed at 5 hides, Dorchester and Wareham at 10 hides each, and Shaftesbury at twenty. They all dis- charged this obligation by contributing to the support of the king's housecarls. Bridport rendered \ mark of silver {bs. 8d.), Dorchester and Wareham i mark (135. 4^.) each, and Shaftesbur}' 2 marks (265. 8^.). The boroughs of Devon and the Wiltshire borough of Malmesbury did a similar service. In Devon the borough of Exeter paid geld only when London, York, and Winchester paid et hoc erat dimidia marka argenti ad opus militum. Exeter was assessed at five hides: quando expeditio ibat per terram aut per maretn serviebat hec civitas quantum v hide terre.^ Bridport, assessed at 5 hides, also rendered \ mark ad opus hiiscarlium. The three other Devon boroughs — Barnstaple, Lydford, and Totnes — did jointly the same service as Exeter. Totnes paid geld when Exeter did, and then it rendered 3^. 4^.^ At Malmesburj' (Wilts.) quando rex ibat in expeditionem vel terra vel mari habebat de hoc burgo aut xx solidos ad pascendos suos buzecarlos aut unum honiineni ducebat secum pro honore v hidarum. By analogy with the Dorset and Devon boroughs 205. (li mark) was the amount one would expect a borough of 15 hides to pay.'' All four boroughs had moneyers in 1066 but none of these was said to be there in 1086. There had been one at Bridport, two each at Dorchester and Wareham, and three at Shaftesbur\'. Each rendered one mark of silver to the king and 20^. quando moneta zertebatur, that is when fresh dies were issued.

It seems unlikely that at this date these little boroughs had courts of their own, but there is a possibility that Dorchester did have its own court. There was a hundred of Dorchester as well as a borough and a vill, and it seems quite likely that the hundred court met in the borough of Dorchester. The boroughs seem to have been extra- hundredal themselves, like the king's manors to which they were attached, and this fact probably contributed to the development of separate courts. Professor Tait observed that the hundred of Dorchester was later known as the hundred of St. George, to whom the parish church of Fordington was dedicated, Fordington being a suburb of Dorchester. He considered it possible that the hundred of Dorchester had split into two, one half covering the borough and the other half covering the geldable portion. It is possible that this division had taken place some time previously, and that consequently the borough of Dorchester had its own jurisdiction perhaps even before the Conquest. '^ In all four boroughs a considerable number of houses had been destroyed after the Conquest. In Dorchester there were 172 houses T.R.E. ; in 1086 there were 88 houses standing and 100 destroyed. In Wareham there were 143 houses T.R.E.; in 1086 the king had 70 houses standing and 73 destroyed, the abbey of St. Wandrille had 45 houses standing and 17 destroyed, and the other barons had 20 houses standing and 60 destroyed. In Shaftesbury T.R.E. the Abbess of Shaftesbury had 153 houses and the king had 104 houses; in 1086 the abbess had 11 1 houses standing and 43 destroyed and the king had 66 houses standing and 18 destroyed. In Bridport T.R.E. there were 120 houses. In 1086, according to the Exchequer text, there were 100 houses and 20 sunt ita destitute quod qui in eis manent geldum solvere non valent. The Exon. text implies that 20 houses must have been destroyed as well, by showing that the 20 impoverished houses were numbered among the 100 houses still standing: xx ex his c domibus ita sunt adnichilate quod homines qui intus manent non habent unde reddent nullmn^^ geldum. There is no apparent reason for this destruction. The Chronicle does not record any disturbance in the area which could have led to such systematic wasting. Eyton's suggestion that it was caused by 'internal conflicts between the Anglican and Norman burgesses' may be the correct one,''* but in view of his other depredations, '•■> it is possible that the boroughs came into conflict with Hugh fitz Grip. In each account the devastation is said to have taken place a tempore Hugonis vicecomitis usque nunc. II King William had received in Dorset four groups of lands, the lands of King Edward, the lands of Earl Harold, the lands of Queen Maud, which had reverted to her husband on her death, and two manors which had belonged to Countess Goda, King Edward's sister. The lands of King Edward consisted of Portland and five large groups of manors. Portland (nos. i and vi) was not assessed in hides, and there is a blank space in the Exchequer entry where one would expect to find the number of teamlands. It rendered ^^65 blanched {Ixv libras albas) a year, and did not pay geld. The five groups of manors consisted of Burton Bradstock, Bere Regis, Colesberie or Coles- breia, Shipton Gorge, Bradpole, and Chideock (nos. 2 and x); Wimborne Minster, Shapwick, Crichel, and Opewinburne or Obpe Winborna (nos. 3 and xi); Dorchester, '° Ibid. 70.

" See pp. 23, 46. 27 A HISTORY OF DORSET Fordington, Sutton Poyntz, Gillingham, and Frome (nos. 4 and xii); Pimperne and Charlton Marshall (nos. 5 and xiv); and Winfrith Newburgh, Lulworth, Wintreborne , and Knowlton (nos. 6 and xv). None of them was assessed in hides, nor had they ever paid geld. The three groups headed respectively by Burton Bradstock, Dorchester, and Wimborne Minster each rendered one night's farm (firma iinius noctis) and the two remaining groups headed by Pimperne and Winfrith Newburgh each rendered \ night's farm {dimidia firma iinius noctis). The night's farm was an ancient food-rent, dating from the time when the king continually travelled about with his court, and representing the supplies needed to support the king and his retinue for one day. It survived in 1086 largely in the area of the old West Saxon kingdom, and is found in Hampshire (where it is called the firma uniiis diei), Wiltshire, and Somerset as well as in Dorset, but traces of it also survive elsewhere. In Dorset it was not commuted to a money rent in 1086, but money values are given for the farm in the other three western counties. In Hampshire, the only county where the value was in any way standardized, the farm was worth ^jb \bs. M. T.R.E. and £\o^ 12s. zd. in 1086. No T.R.E. value is given for either Wiltshire or Somerset. In Somerset in 1086 two groups of manors rendered ;(^io6 c*. lod., a third group rendered ^^loo 10^. gld., and a fourth group ;^I05 lys. ^\d. In Wiltshire in 1086 one manor paid i^ioo and another /^i 10, while the remaining four manors liable to the night's farm were not valued in money."' In Dorset the manors liable to the night's farm are grouped together in such a way that the only obvious reason for their association is that of size, although this is unlikely to have been the only consideration. Certainly they do not form compact geographical entities. Gillingham, in the northern tip of Dorset, is associated with Dorchester and its suburb of Fordington, in the south of the shire, and Bere Regis in the east is associated with Burton Bradstock, Chideock, and Shipton Gorge, which form a compact group in the west. If the number of teamlands can be taken as a rough guide to the comparative sizes of the manors, then the three groups rendering a full night's farm were approximately equal, if not in size, at least in agricultural capacity, having respectively 56 teamlands (Dorchester), 55 teamlands (Burton Bradstock), and 45 teamlands (Wimborne Minster). The two groups rendering \ night's farm were about half the size, with 20 teamlands (Pimperne) and 24 teamlands (Winfrith Newburgh). Three of the four Dorset boroughs contributed to the night's farm in the manner already described, and some of the Dorset hundreds — Dorchester, Gillingham, Bere Regis, Pimperne, Winfrith Newburgh, and Knowlton — bear the names of royal manors, which must have been their heads. Of the manors which had belonged to Earl Harold the most important was Puddle- town (nos. 8 and ii). Since the third penny of the whole shire was attached to this manor it was clearly part of the official endowment of the earldom, and it was in the hands of Aiulf, Sheriff of Dorset, in 1086. With its adjuncts, consisting of li hide in Purbeck and \ hide in Mapperton, Puddletown was worth £']-^, and was beneficially hidated, being assessed at | hide, with land for 15 ploughs. It must also have been the head of the hundred of the same name. Of Earl Harold's other manors, Charborough {Celeberge) was also the head of a hundred, and Loders, assessed at 20 hides, was a hundred in itself. The land of Queen Maud consisted of nearly 42 hides: 31 hides which had belonged to Beorhtric son of Aelfgar, and a further 1 8 hides which Hugh fitz Grip had held of her. According to Exon. Domesday Schelin held two of her manors, Witchampton (nos. 20 "■ For a full discussion of the night's farm and its Poole, Exch. in the i2th Cent. 27-30; Dialogus de Scaccario, commutation, see J. H. Round, Feudal Eng. 109-15 ; R. L. ed. C. Johnson, pp. xxxviii, 40-41. 28 DOMESDAY SURVEY and xxvi) and Edmondsham (nos. i8 and xxiv). Schelin also had held part of Ham- preston (no. 443) of the queen, but in 1086 it was held by Torchil of the king. Another part of Hampreston (nos. 19 and xxv) was held of the queen by William Belet, according to Exon. Domesday. He also held 12 acres of meadow at Bingham's Melcombe (no. 30) which formerly had been leased to Wlgar Wit. Melcombe and Hinton Martell (no. 31) had formerly belonged to Countess Goda. Melcombe is said to have been taken by Earl Harold from Shaftesbury Abbey and the fact that the abbey had once held this manor is confirmed by the entry relating to the abbey's manor of Cheselbourne (no. 138) where it is stated that Earl Harold had seized the abbey's manors of Stour and Cheselbourne. King William had ordered them to be returned to the abbey in accordance with a writ of King Edward, but he himself still retained Melcombe. Since Goda was dead by 1056 it seems likely that Melcombe passed to Shaftesbury Abbey as a bequest, and that subsequently Harold committed the trespass. What became of Hinton in the interval between the death of Goda and the arrival of King William is unknown. Nearly half the manor was subinfeudated, mostly to ecclesiastics. A priest had held i hide of thegnland, which the king had in demesne in 1086. Another priest held 2| hides T.R.E., of which he retained i| hide in 1086, the other hide being held by the Bishop of Lisieux. A third priest living in Tarente held i\ hide, and Ulvric held i virgate of land. Lastly, i\ hide and \ virgate belonged to the church of Wimborne Minster, and were held by Maurice, Bishop of London. Attached to the manor of Melcombe were 3^ virgates in Buckland hundred which three free thegns had held T.R.E., and which, according to Domesday, Countess Goda had added to her manor. The Geld Roll for Buckland hundred gives a different account, attributing their acquisition to Robert de Oilly, who seems, from an entry in the Geld Roll for Canendofie hundred, to have held Countess Goda's two manors at farm of the king."'' Exon. Domesday records that Fulcred held the manor of Child Okeford (nos. 7 and i) ad firmam de rege. Child Okeford had belonged to Earl Harold, and Fulcred also held all the other manors of Earl Harold, with the exceptions of Loders (nos. 13 and ix) which was held at farm by Roger, and Puddletown which was held by Aiulf, Sheriff of Dorset, who also held the queen's manors of Frome St. Quintin (nos. 15 and xxi) and Wimborne (nos. 21 and xxvii). Fulcred appears in the Geld Roll for Uggescombe hundred, accounting for the geld on i| hide of Harold's land which can be identified as part of Fleet, and it seems likely that he held the other manors at farm also. Roger was perhaps Roger Arundel, a considerable landowner in the area, who had held the manor of Piddletrenthide (no. 69) before it passed to the New Minster at Winchester. It is uncertain whether all King William's manors were exempt from geld or whether such exemption was confined to those of them which rendered the night's farm.'^ In the Geld Rolls the demesne of the king is exempt in the same way as the baronial demesnes, but in some cases, notably in the manors of Earl Harold, the villani had not paid geld either. '^ It is not clear whether these were defaults or whether the land in question was exempt. In the case of Ibberton in Haltone hundred there certainly seems to have been a default. It was a manor of 5 hides, zl hides in demesne and 2\ hides belonging to the villa?ii. In Haltone hundred the king received ;(^i2 15*. on 45 hides. At 6s. on the hide he should have received ,^13 10^. and in fact the account concluded restant xv solidi de terra Heroldi que est terra villanorum, i^s. being the geld on 2\ hides. This certainly implies that the land was geldable and should have paid with the rest. Fleet (nos. 1 1 and vii), in Uggescombe hundred, is said to have paid geld in another " See pp. 129, 146. Rob. de Oilly was Sheriff of Warws. Celeberge (Charborough) hundred; Chaldon, in Winfrith " See V.C.H. Wilts, ii. 176-7. hundred; and Loders, in Loders hundred: see pp. 136, " Okeford, in Ferendone hundred; Charborough, in 143,146,148. 29 A HISTORY OF DORSET hundred, though there is no record of this. Of the manors belonging to the queen two, Cranborne, in Albretesberge hundred, and Ashmore, in Langeberge hundred, had not paid geld. Hampreston, in Canetidone hundred, had not paid geld. It was assessed at 2 hides and i virgate with i hide in demesne, and according to Exon. Domesday William Belet had held it of the queen. The Geld Roll for Canendone hundred states that de it hidis et i virga quas tenet i tagtiiis adfirmam de rege non habuit rex geldiim. The rest of the queen's manors appear to have paid geld in the usual way. The two manors which had belonged to Countess Goda, and which the king held in 1086, were certainly liable to geld. At Hinton there were 6 hides and i virgate in demesne, duly recorded as exempt in Canendone hundred, where the manor lay, and de v hidis de terra Gode quam tenet Rotbertns de Oilleio ad firmavi de rege habuit rex geldum post Pascha. Hinton was assessed at 14 hides and i virgate so that 3 hides must have paid geld normally. The geld due from Melcombe was also withheld until after Easter, and the king had still not received it. The manor was assessed at 10 hides and lay in Haltone hundred, 3^ virgates in Buckland hundred being attached to it. The king's demesne consisted of 7 hides and 3 virgates, which were exempt, and Robert de Oilly retinuit inde xv solidos iisqiie post Pascha quos nundum habet rex. In the Geld Roll for Buckland hundred it is further stated that de dimidia hida et dimidia zirga quas Rotbertns de Oilleio abstulit i tagno et posuit intra firmam regis in Melecoma non habuit rex geldum. Thus no part of Melcombe had paid geld. Alienations of royal land are occasionally recorded. A king's reeve had leased to Toxus a piece of land in Sw^^re (no. 263) que nunquam geldavit T.R.E. sed erat in dominio et in firma regis, and which in 1086 was held by William of Eu. The abbey of Cranborne held a piece of land in Gillingham (no. 70) which Hugh fitz Grip had given to the abbey, having taken it de firma regis. Half a hide attached to Cerneli (no. 212) fuit de dominica firma Cerne T.R.E. and an entry in the Geld Roll for Whitchurch hundred, which seems to refer to this land, says that it belonged to the king.^° Apart from these pieces of land it seems likely that King Edward had already given Portland to the Old Minster at Winchester. A writ exists which purports to be a record of this grant, but it is of doubtful authenticity.^' The grant, if genuine, may have been intended to take effect after the king's death, and it is noticeable that the king held Portland in vita sua or, as Exon. Domesday expresses it, ea die qua ipse fuit virus, omitting the customary et mortuus. In any event the writ seems to reflect an actual grant, since in his charter to the Old Minster King Henry granted it Portland and its appurtenances as the gift of King Edward.22 Soon to be alienated was Burton Bradstock, which in i loi was given by King Henry to the abbey of St. Stephen, Caen, in exchange for the crown and other regalia which William I had left to that abbey. ^^ Richard de Rivers (or Redvers) gave Loders to the abbey of Montebourg, with the king's permission, and its assessment was reduced from 20 hides to five.--* Two of King Edward's manors, Winfrith Newburgh and Bradpole, were later held by serjeanty. After King Edward the richest man in Dorset before the Conquest was Earl Harold, whose earldom of Wessex included Dorset. As well as the manors held in 1086 by King William, Harold had possessed Bincombe (no. 122), assessed at 8 hides, Waterston (nos. 334 and cvi), assessed at 10 hides, and Shillingstone (no. 367), assessed at 16 hides. He held in all 87I hides, or about one-eighth of the land in Dorset held by ^° See pp. 125, 126. In 1212 the Prior of Winchester held Portland de antiqiio " This writ is printed in F. E.

" Ibid. no. 1018. 30 DOMESDAY SURVEY laymen excluding the king. He had taken four manors from Shaftesbury Abbey: Stour (no. 127), assessed at 17 hides, Cheselbourne (no. 138), assessed at 16 hides, Melcombe (no. 30), assessed at 10 hides, and a manor called Pidele.-^ He had also taken a manor belonging to a certain clerk (quidam clericiis) and given it to Eadnoth the staller. This manor, Ilsington (no. 221), was held by Earl Hugh in 1086. Harold's mother, Countess Gytha, held two manors in Dorset T.R.E., Little Puddle (nos. 14 and iii) and Frampton (no. 121), assessed at 25 i hides, a total hidage of 3oi hides. To the manor of Frampton was attached the third share of the wood of Ilauocumbe, belonging to Burton Bradstock.26 Queen Edith, Earl Harold's sister and the widow of King Edward, had held the manor of Sherborne (no. 37), assessed at 43 hides. She presumably held it for life, since Bishop Aelfwold of Sherborne had held it before her, and in 1086 it belonged to the Bishop of Salisbury and the monks of Sherborne. Countess Goda had 24 hides in Dorset, consisting of the manors of Melcombe (no. 30) and Hinton (no. 31). She died before 1056 and on her death Melcombe appears to have passed to Shaftesbury Abbey.^^ Archbishop Stigand held one manor in Dorset, the large and valuable Sturminster Marshall (no. 232), assessed at 30 hides and worth J^bb. The richest thegn in Dorset in 1086 was Beorhtric son of Aelfgar whose lands were given to Queen Maud and later formed the nucleus of the honor of Gloucester. Of Beorhtric's Dorset manors Cranborne, Ashmore, and Frome St. Quintin belonged to the king in 1086. The queen had given two other manors away, Tarrant Launceston (no. 141) to Holy Trinity, Caen, and Tyneham (no. 369) to Anschitil fitz Ameline. Boveridge, in Cranborne (no. 71), which belonged to the abbey of Cranborne in 1086, was held by Brictric T.R.E. who is probably Beorhtric son of Aelfgar. The latter may well be identified also with the T.R.E. holder of Dewlish (no. 148) which Count Alan held in 1086, since this manor was later part of the honor of Gloucester,-^ but whether he was the Brictric who held Tarente (no. 370) or the Brictric who preceded the Count of Mortain at Mappowder (no. 171) and Uploders (no. 206) is less certain. He certainly held 59 hides in Dorset T.R.E. and may have held 73 hides. Toll, whose name suggests that he was of Scandinavian origin, held 490 hides in Dorset. He was a prosperous local thegn with 34 hides in Hampshire and land in Wiltshire and Devon, all of which was held by William of Eu in 1086. William's other predecessor was Aelfstan of Boscombe, whose land in 8 counties belonged to William in 1086. Most of Aelfstan's land lay in Wiltshire and Gloucestershire, but he was one of the larger landowners in Dorset where he held 34 hides. Ailvert (Aethelfrith) and Ailmar (Aelmer), the most important of Roger Arundel's predecessors, were quite wealthy thegns, with land in Somerset as well as Dorset which also passed to Roger. Aethelfrith has been identified as Ailferth mmister who witnessed Edward the Confessor's grant to Bath Abbey in 1061.^9 He held 26i hides in Dorset and Aelmer 25! hides. They can be identified as the two men who held Piddletrenthide (no. 69), as two manors, of King Edward, since this manor was held by Roger Arundel before it passed to the New Minster, Winchester. It was assessed at 30 hides, and, assuming that it was roughly divided in half between the two men, they must have held in all about 40 hides apiece. One of the Count of Mortain's predecessors was called Edmar. He held about 35 hides, consisting of the manors of Gussage All Saints (no. 192), Blaneford (no. 194), and some smaller manors, one of which, Wootton Fitzpaine (no. 211), appears to have been beneficially hidated.^o Edmar is probably to be identified as the man of the same name " See pp. 43, 83. ^f" See pp. 3, 65. ^* Bk. of Fees, 93 (1212).

Domesday for Somerset, Edmeratorius. He also held land in Cornwall.^' Eadnoth the staller, whose lands passed to Hugh, Earl of Chester, held 25 hides in Dorset, and in King William's time had taken the manor of Burstock (no. 230), assessed at three hides, from a certain thegn. He is addressed in a writ of William relating to Bath Abbey.^' He was killed in 1067, leading the militia against the sons of Harold. It was Harold from whom he had received the manor of Ilsington (no. 221). Two of his manors, South Perrott (no. 228) and Catsley (no. 229), he had bought from Bishop Aelfwold of Sherborne, on condition that at his death they should return to the church, but Earl Hugh held them in 1086. Two other manors held by Eadnoth had at one time belonged to Sherborne Abbey." Eadnoth's son, Harding, also survived the Conquest, and became the ancestor of the Berkeleys.^* He may be identical with Harding who held Bredy (Farm) (no. 317) which passed to Berenger Giffard. According to the Geld Roll for Godderthorn hundred, where Bredy (Farm) lay, Berenger's predecessor continued to hold of him at farm.^s Wulfwynn, a wealthy English lady, with about 100 hides in six counties, held two manors in Dorset, Canford Magna and Kinson (nos. 243, 244), assessed jointly at 38 hides. Like the rest of her land, these two manors were held in 1086 by Edward of Salisbury. In the Middlesex survey she is called IVlwene homo regis and in the Buckinghamshire survey Whven homo regis Edzvardi. In Buckinghamshire she is also called Wlwene de Cresselai, which appears to refer to her tenure of the manor of Creslow (Bucks. ).36 The prevalence of names like Alvric and Ahvard makes identification uncertain, but it is at least likely that the Alvric who held five of the manors belonging to the wife of Hugh fitz Grip in 1086 is identical with the Alvric who T.R.E. had been the tenant of three of the manors which Hugh fitz Grip held of the queen. If this is the case he had 24! hides. Alward Colin(c), who T.R.E. had held Langton Herring (nos. 23 and xxix), another of the manors held by Hugh fitz Grip of the queen, and who still held Thorn- combe (no. 439) in 1086, was probably the man who held five manors belonging to the wife of Hugh fitz Grip in 1086 and also the manor of Little Waddon (no. 460) which Hugh gave to Brictuin. If so, he had 16 hides. It is unsafe to identify him with the Alward who held 14.I hides which passed to the Count of Mortain, or the Alward who held 152 hides which passed to William of Moyon. Bondi is a common Scandinavian name, but it occurs only twice in Dorset and it is probably safe to identify the man who held Broadwindsor (no. 505) with the man who held Compton Valence (no. 357), giving him a total of 30 hides. John, who held the two manors which passed to Matthew de Moretania (nos. 320 and 321), is probably to be identified with John the Dane {daniis), a predecessor of Matthew in Gloucestershire and Somerset." He had about 15 hides in Dorset. Godric held 12 hides as the pre- decessor of William of Moyon. Alfred the sheriff held Lulworth (no. 350), assessed at 8 hides, 3 virgates, which in 1086 was held by Aiulf the chamberlain, then Sheriff of Dorset. Since Alfred is a common Saxon name, it is unsafe to identify Alfred the sheriff with the pre-Conquest holders of Stour Provost (no. 231) and Wintreburne (no. 305), or with the man who held two manors belonging to the Count of Mortain in 1086.38 Bricsi (Beorhtsige), miles regis Edwardi, held Wootton Fitzpaine (no. 347), assessed at '' Dom.

Ode the treasurer held i hide in Wimborne Minster (nos. 21 and xxvii). Round identified him with Odo of Winchester who held land in Hamp- shire, Berkshire, and Wiltshire, as a thegn in 1086.40 Rainbald of Cirencester, who had the office if not the name of chancellor under Edward the Confessor, held Pulham (no. 146) in Dorset,4i which he still held in 1086. Wulfweard White, who held Pentridge (no. 67) and Silton (no. 271), had land in eleven counties. He may be identical with the Wulfweard who held Tarrant Crawford (no. 58), and Eyton identified Wlgar Wit, who T.R.E. held 12 acres of meadow at Bingham's Melcombe (no. 30), with Wulfweard White.42 Other landowners with little land in Dorset but larger estates elsewhere were Saeweard, Alwi, and Wulfgifu. Sae- weard, the predecessor of Baldwin at Iwerne Courtney (no. 316), held five manors in Somerset and five in Devon, all of which had passed to Baldwin. Alwi held Turnworth (no. 319) which in 1086 was held by Alvred of Epaignes. He was Alvred's predecessor in Wiltshire, Devon, and Somerset as well, and is called Alwi Banneson in Exon. Domesday. Wulfgifu, who held 1 1 hides in Dorset as the predecessor of the Countess of Boulogne, had 65 hides in Hampshire, where she was called Wulfgifu Beteslau.^^ In addition, she held 5 hides in Wiltshire and a manor in Somerset. Other women besides Wulfwynn and Wulfgifu held land in Dorset, although only in small amounts. Aelfrun held part of Afflington (no. 236), to which she gave her name.44 Aethelflaed held 2 hides at Hethfelton (no. 294) and Leofrun held two manors, both in Stourton Caundle (nos. 363, 478), amounting to i| hide. Leofgifu held Blandford (no. 336) and Aelgifu held Morden (no. 337). The latter is probably to be identified with the woman of the same name who held Lyme Regis (no. 504) and Stourton Caundle (no. 219). The relative rarity of the name Beorhtnod permits the identification of Britnod, who held Stafford (no. 155), with Bricnod, who held Melbury Bubb (no. 323), and Brisnod who held West Parley (no. 37 1)."*' Other rare names occur in Dorset. Sared (Saered) is found only in Dorset, where he and his brother held Blandford St. Mary (no. 185), and in Somerset, and Watman (Hwaetman), who held Waia (no. 364), occurs only in Dorset and Herefordshire. Burde, who held the little manor of Rushton (no. 292), is only found in Dorset. His name is apparently derived from the French burdel meaning mule. Her, who gave his name to Herston (nos. 333 and cv), is also peculiar to Dorset. Herston was a divided vill in 1086, part of it (no. 512) being held by Godfrey the scullion whose father held it T.R.E. His father's name is not given. Toxus the priest who held part of Swyre (no. 263) is not found anywhere else but Dorset. Aldebert (Ealdbeorht) and Wicnod (Wihtnoth), who held Cerneli (no. 212) and Milton on Stour (no. 272) respect- ively, were peculiar to Dorset. Bern (Beorn), who held part of Church Knowle (no. 312), has a name found otherwise only in East Anglia and Northamptonshire, and Turmund (Thormund) who held Wintreburne (no. 56) is otherwise only found in Somerset. Herling, who held Tarrant Keyneston (no. 60), is found only in Dorset and Berkshire, and Trawin, who held Lulworth (no. 199), Dachelin, who held Nyland (no. 251) in company with Edric and Alward, and Gerling, who held Turners Puddle (nos. 391 and cxxiv), are all peculiar to Dorset. Trasmund, who held Hill (no. 318), which passed to Osbern Giffard, is found elsewhere as Osbern's predecessor in Wilt- shire, and also held Manston (no. 302), which passed to Waleran. He is not otherwise recorded. Herling, Trawin, Dachelin, Gerling, and Trasmund all bear names of Germanic origin, while Bern, Brune (Bruno, no. 149), Turmund, Her, Toli, Bondi, " V.C.H.

'•^ O. von Feilitzen, Pre-Conquest Personal Names, 196. DO. in 33 ** A HISTORY OF DORSET Askell (Anschil), and Azor are all of Scandinavian derivation. Askell (Anschil) occurs twice in Dorset (nos. i8o, 490). Azor appears three times. One of his three manors, Aihvood (no. 482), had passed to Swain in 1086. Swain's three other manors had been held by his father T.R.E., and it is possible that he is to be identified with Swain son of Azor, who held land in Northamptonshire, and that Azor can be identified as Swain's father, the holder of some 20 hides in Dorset T.R.E.^^ The pre-Conquest holders of three manors are described as free men {Uberi homines). Godwin who held Cernel (no. 147) is described as a liber homo. Four free men held the manor of Galton T.R.E. (no. 507) and may be identical with the 4 men holding it for rent in 1086. Three free men held Woodstreet (no. 508). Both Galton, assessed at i hide and i virgate, and Woodstreet, assessed at 3 virgates, had passed to Osmund the baker in 1086. Cenicl was assessed at 3 hides and was held by Walter the deacon, an almsman of the king in 1086. Apart from these free men several manors were held by 'free thegns' T.R.E. A free thegn {liber tainus) held Hemsworth (no. 355). Three free thegns {Uberi taini) held the 2>\ virgates in Buckland hundred which were added to the manor of ]Melcombe. Mappowder (no. 431), which Bollo the priest held in 1086, was held T.R.E. by the same Bollo cum aliis vii liberis tainis. The thegn who held Church Knowle (no. 308) was free with his land {liber erat cum hac terra), which presumably means that he was not commended to any lord. Freedom to commend oneself to any lord is quite frequently mentioned, in a haphazard fashion which suggests that it was so common that it was not thought necessar}' to mention it in all cases. Five thegns who held three virgates attached to Rampisham (no. 55) could quo zolebant se vertere. Alward, who held Little Windsor (nos. 282 and xcii), potuit ire ad quemlibet dominiim volebat. Wulfgifu, the T.R.E. holder of the Countess of Boulogne's manors, poterat ire cum terra sua quo zolebat.^~ Dodo who held Edmondsham (nos. 18 and xxiv), Saul who held Hampreston (nos. 19 and xxv), and the two thegns who held Witchampton (nos. 20 and xxvi) could all go with their land to any lord they liked. The men who held the manors which in 1086 were held by the wife of Hugh fitz Grip were all free to go to any lord, as appears from a note appended at the end of the account of her manors : Omiies taini qui has terras tenebant poterant ire ad quern dominum zolebant. A similar statement is appended to the land of the king's Serjeants: Qui has terras tenebant T.R.E. poterant ire quo Tolebaiit, and at the end of the account of the land of the Count of IMortain there is a note that omnes qui has terras tenebant T.R.E. libere tenebant. References to commenda- tion are rare. The three thegns holding 3 hides at Cranborne of Beorhtric son of Aelfgar non potuerant separari ab eo and Alnod held Stourpaine de Edzcardo Lipe et nan poterat separari a dominio suo. Aelmer and Aethelfrith who held Piddletrenthide as two manors of King Edward non poterant cum terra ista ire ad quemlibet dominum. Aethelfrith also held Worth iNIatravers (no. 330) of King Edward et non potuit separari a seriicio regis. Beorhtsige, who held Wootton Fitzpaine (no. 347), is described as miles regis Eduardi. There are frequent references to land held in parage {in paragio, pariter), which consisted in the joint tenure of an estate bv co-heirs. The merit of this system was that it prevented the fragmentation of manors which would otherwise have occurred in a society which did not recognize primogeniture. Sared and his brother held Blandford (no. 185) in parage and two brothers held Ranston (no. 241) in parage. Scirewold and Ulward, who held U'ai (no. 162), and Edric, Dachelin, and Alward, who held Xyland (no. 251), are said to hold in parage. The necessity of such a system is obvious when the ■•* For these rare names, see Feilitzen, op cit. /)aj«';/i. For ■" Seep. 114. the identification of Swain as Swain son of Azor, see p. 52. 34 DOMESDAY SURVEY proportion of manors held by large numbers of unnamed thegns is taken into con- sideration. An extreme instance is the manor of Poleham (nos. 276 and Ixxxvi), which was held by 21 thegns T.R.E., and which was assessed at 10 hides. The Exon. version shows that these thegns held in parage. If the manor had been divided between them the fragmentation would have produced a large number of tiny, uneconomic units. Even so, it is plain from such examples that many pre-Conquest thegns were scarcely more prosperous, in economic terms, than the rillani. Poleham is unusual, but large groups of thegns are not exceptional. Twelve thegns held 7 hides in Purbeck and poterant ire quo volebant. Ten thegns held 3 hides in Cerne (no. 157). Four manors were each held by a group of 9 thegns,-*^ two more were held by groups of 7 thegns,'*^ and Stinsford (no. 358), assessed at zh hides, was held by 6 thegns. Kingcombe (no. 485), assessed at i hide and |- virgate, was held by 10 thegns pro iino mmierio and they still held it in 1086. A certain amount of consolidation had taken place after the Conquest. There are cases where the lands of several thegns had been made into one holding for a single Norman lord. William of Ecouis held the land of 5 thegns in Stourton Caundle (no. 299), assessed at 5 hides, as one manor. Hugh de Lure held land in 3 places [terras in tribus locis) which had belonged to 11 thegns T.R.E. and which was assessed at 5 hides. William de Dalmar had the lands of 3 thegns, assessed at 3 hides, 3 virgates. Some manors had been held as two manors {pro ii maneriis) T.R.E. Piddlehinton (no. 168), which the abbey of Marmoutier held of the Count of Mortain in 1086, had been held T.R.E. by two thegns ^ro ii maneriis. Three thegns had held Wool (no. 208), which Bretel and Malger held of the Count of Mortain in 1086 /)ro ii maneriis. Wintrehiirne (no. 300), held by Walcher of Walscin of Douai in 1086, was held T.R.E. by Alward and x\lwin pro ii maneriis. Roger Arundel's manor of North Poorton (nos. 329 and ci) was held T.R.E. by Alwin and Ulf^ro iihidis (sic). Comparison with Exon. Domesday shows that there were in fact two manors T.R.E., one of i^ hide, held by Alwin, and one of \ hide, held by Ulf. Stafford (nos. 383 and cxv) was held by 3 thegns in parage T.R.E. pro ii maneriis. At first sight this seems like a contradiction in terms, but Exon. Domesday shows that there were in fact 2 manors, one held by two thegns in parage and one held by Leving. At Hurpston (nos. 413 and cxlvi) the wife of Hugh had 3 hides which Alward held T.R.E. and h hide which Sawin held^ro manerio T.R.E. Buckhorn Weston (no. 149) was held by Godric and Bruno in parage pro ii maneriis. Like the Stafford entry this seems to contradict itself. A similar position is revealed by the Exon. entry for Chilfrome (nos. 278 and Ixxxviii) belonging to William of Moyon. The Exchequer text says that 3 thegns held the manor in parage T.R.E. Exon. Domesday repeats this, and adds has Hi mansiones clamat Willelmiis pro ii. This entry also suggests that whereas two or more manors might be given to one lord, and listed as a single manor in Domesday, they were still reckoned as two manors or more. Chilfrome was held by Dodoman and Niel (the Exchequer text says merely duo homines) of William of Moyon, and this is not the only manor of this sort to be held by more than one post- Conquest mesne tenant. Stafford was held by William and Hugh, and Wool by Bretel and Malger. Some Englishmen can be shown to have survived the Conquest still in possession of at least some of their land, or to have received land which had belonged to other thegns T.R.E. Most of these men are numbered among the king's thegns in 1086, and are ■*' Waia (nos. 380 and cxii), assessed at 4 hides, E. manor in 1086: see pp. 36, gg.

Other thegns continued to hold their land, but as tenants of Norman lords. According to Exon. Domesday the 9 thegns who held Rollington (nos. 331 and ciii) T.R.E. still held it in 1086, although it had passed to Roger Arundel, and was subinfeudated to Robert Attlet. The Exchequer text does not mention the tenure of these 9 thegns. It is probable that the 4 men at Galton (no. 507) who rendered 12s. 4J. to Osmund the baker, to whom the manor belonged, were identical with the 4 free men who held the manor T.R.E. The Geld Rolls reveal other cases in which the English owners of a manor were still holding their land of a Norman. In Cullifordtree hundred a thegn cuius ipsa terra fuit held i hide and i virgate of William Belet. This land can be identified as part of Winterborne Belet or Cripton (no. 493), which 2 thegns held T.R.E. In Godderthorn hundred Berenger Giffard had a piece of land which his predecessor held of him at farm {banc tenet antecessor Berengerii de eo ad fir mam). Berenger held only one manor in Dorset, Bredy (Farm) (no. 317), which was held T.R.E. by Harding. It is possible that he is to be identified as Harding son of Eadnoth the staller, who held several manors in this area both before and after the Conquest. In Uggescombe hundred a thegn held 2\ hides of Aiulf the chamberlain. These 2\ hides were probably part of Aiulf's manor of Tatton (no. 345) held by a thegn of Cerne Abbey T.R.E., who may also have held it of Aiulf in 1084. Exon. Domesday reveals that the 3 thegns holding 3 hides of Cranborne (nos. 16 and xxii) of the king in 1086, held them of Beorhtric son of Aelfgar T.R.E. Brictuin, who held 4 hides of Cerne Abbas of the abbot in 1086, held it likewise T.R.E. Tenants with English names are quite common on ecclesiastical land in 1086. Chetel held Fifehead St. Quintin (no. 133) of Shaftesbur}^ Abbey. Algar and Brictuin appear among the Bishop of Salisbury's tenants at Beaminster (no. 46). Chetel appears as a tenant of Glastonbury Abbey at Sturminster Newton (no. 63) and at Okeford Fitzpaine (no. 64), and Warmund held land at Buckland Ne\\ton (no. 65). ^3 Two widows are mentioned in connexion with ecclesiastical land, one at Piddletrenthide (no. 69) and one at Atrim (nos. 116 and Ixiii). In contrast to the lay lands the possessions of the religious houses in Dorset suffered no major upset during the transition to Norman rule. Where the names of bishops or abbots are given, they are generally Norman, like Osmund de Seez, Bishop of Salisbury', Maurice, Bishop of London, and Geoffrey, Abbot of Tavistock. Various foreign ecclesiastics and religious houses had received small amounts of land. Odo, Bishop of Bayeux, the king's half-brother, had received Rampisham (no. 55) and Geoffrey, Bishop of Coutances, two small manors called Wintreburne (nos. 56, 57). The canons of Coutances also held a small manor called Winterborne Stickland (no. 142), the only land they had in England. Gilbert Maminot, Bishop of Lisieux, held four Dorset manors, amounting to 26 hides, and Maurice, Bishop of London, held \ hide in Odehatn (no. 62) and i i hide at Hinton Martell (no. 31) which belonged to the church of Wimborne. Another hide of land at Hinton, which had belonged to a priest T.R.E., was held in 1086 by the Bishop of Lisieux. The abbey of St. Stephen, Caen, had 35^ hides in Dorset, consisting of Frampton and Bincombe, which had belonged to Countess 5° See pp. 51-53. " For a further discussion of ecclesiastical tenants and 5' See p. 49. s^ See pp. 15-16. the question of thegnland, see pp. 39-40. 36 DOMESDAY SURVEY Gytha and Earl Harold respectively.54 The sister house of Holy Trinity, Caen, held the manor of Tarrant Launceston (no. 141) which was the gift of Queen Maud. 55 The abbey of Montevilliers held Friar Waddon (no. 143), given to it by Hugh fitz Grip; the abbey of St. Wandrille held the churches of Bridport, Burton Bradstock, Whitchurch Canoni- corum, and Wareham (nos. 123 and xviii, 124 and xx),^^ and the abbey of Marmoutier held Piddlehinton (no. 168) of the Count of Mortain.57 According to the Geld Rolls the abbey of St. Leger, Preaux, held land in Dorset, and, although Domesday does not mention the fact, the land in question was probably the manor of Stour Provost (no. 231), held by Roger de Beaumont, whose father founded the two abbeys at Preaux. ss Of the losses sustained by the English houses some dated from before 1066. Earl Harold had taken four manors from Shaftesbury Abbey, two of which were restored by King William in accordance with a writ of King Edward. Queen Edith, Earl Harold's sister, had held Sherborne (no. 37) but Bishop Aelfwold (i 045/6-1 058) had held it previously, and it belonged to the Bishop of Salisbury in 1086. It is possible that Queen Edith had held the manor on a life-lease. One hide at Sherborne had been held by Alward of King Edward T.R.E. sed prius erat de episcopatu. In 1086 it had reverted to the bishopric. Sometimes the churches had lost lands because they had been leased to thegns whose estates had passed to Norman lords. Wulfweard White had held Pentridge (no. 66) of Glastonbury Abbey T.R.E., but in 1086 the manor was held by the king who had taken possession of most of Wulfweard's lands. Clifton and Trill (no. 225) had at one time belonged to the Bishop of Sherborne, but were held T.R.E. by Eadnoth the staller and passed to Hugh, Earl of Chester, with the rest of Eadnoth's lands. 59 Eadnoth had also bought South Perrott (no. 228) and Catsley (no. 229) from Bishop Aelfwold for his own lifetime, on condition that at his death they should revert to the church, but both these manors were held by Earl Hugh in 1086. Stock Gaylard (no. 269), which T.R.E. was held by Toli in pledge de terra Scireburne, had passed to William of Eu who received the rest of Toll's land. Attached to the manor of Silton, belonging to William of Falaise, was one hide which Wulfweard White had bought from the Bishop of Exeter. Some losses, usually involving smaller amounts of land, were due to deliberate seizure for which Hugh fitz Grip, the former sheriff, was largely responsible. From Abbotsbury Abbey he had taken a hide at Abbotsbury (nos. 109 and Iviii) and a virgate at Portesham (nos. 112 and Ixix), which his wife retained by force.^° Tatton, which had belonged to Cerne Abbey T.R.E., was in 1086 held partly by Aiulf the chamberlain, then sheriff (no. 345), and partly by Hugh's wife (nos. 398 and cxxxi), and according to Exon. Domesday two other manors of this abbey, Bloxworth (nos. 79 and xlii) and Affpuddle (nos. 80 and xliii), had been devastated by Hugh. Farnham (no. 135), which T.R.E. belonged to Shaftesbury Abbey, was held in 1086 by Aiulf (no. 352) and Hugh's wife (nos. 396 and cxxix) and a virgate at Kingston (no. 134), belonging to the same abbey T.R.E., was held in 1086 by William of Briouze. Manasses held 3 virgates at Stalbridge (no. 42), belonging to Sherborne Abbey, which William the king's son had given him sine consensu episcopi et monachorum, and the two best hides of the manor of Horton (no. 1 17), belonging to Horton Abbey, had been taken into the king's forest of Wimborne. The Exchequer text gives the hides in demesne on the ecclesiastical estates, though only rarely on lay estates, whereas Exon. Domesday regularly gives the hides in demesne and the hides held by the villani for both lay and ecclesiastical estates. It is '* Regesta Regimi Anglo-Normannorum, i, no. 105.

Ill 27 C2 A HISTORY OF DORSET noticeable that the term 'demesne' is used in three distinct senses, to designate the portion of a manor held b}^ the lord (the home farm) as opposed to that held by the villani; the demesne (in this sense) with the terra viUanoriun, as opposed to the land subinfeudated to knights or thegns; and lastly, a whole manor which was or should have been held by the lord himself, and not by a tenant. The manor of Stockland (nos. 1 06 and Ixxx) was held of Milton Abbey by Hervey fitz Ansger, but nevertheless was de dominio monachoriim ad victutn et zestitum eorum. Similarly the manor of Little Puddle (nos. 77 and xl), held of Cerne Abbey by William de moiiasteriis, was de propria terra ecdesie, and the 3 hides at Poxwell (nos. 81 and xliv), held by Hugh's wife of the same abbey, were de dominica firma tnonachorum T.R.E. The last case seems to imply an encroachment on the part of Hugh's wife. At Cerneli (no. 212) William held of the Count of Mortain i hide que fuit de dominica firma CERNE T.R.E. , which seems to be a similar use of 'demesne'. Hampreston (no. 443), which Torchil, a king's thegn, held in 1086, had been held by Schelin of the queen but mode tenet rex in dominio. It is probable that Schelin had held some of the queen's manors at farm*' which in 1086 were in the king's hand, and the use of 'demesne' in this context is very unusual. It may be that Torchil held the manor at farm in 1086 or for some service.^^ Other ecclesiastical tenants include Wadard, who held Rampisham of the Bishop of Bayeux, as well as land in other counties of the same lord, and who is mentioned by name in the Bayeux Tapestry.*'^ The two manors of the Bishop of Coutances were held by Osbern. Domesday does not mention any tenants on the land of Gilbert Maminot, Bishop of Lisieux, but the Geld Rolls name Hugh Maminot as his tenant in connexion with land which can be identified with Tarrant Crawford and Preston (nos. 58, 59), and the bishop's other two Dorset manors, Tarrant Keyneston and Coombe Keynes, passed to Hugh Maminot's daughter with the Wiltshire manor of Somerford Keynes.^"*^ The Bishop of Salisbury had subinfeudated several manors. Robert held Up Cerne (no. 34), the wife of Hugh fitz Grip held Bardolfeston (no. 51), and Otbold held Athelhamp- ton (no. 52). Cernel (no. 50) was held by an unnamed woman, and it is worth noting that a manor of the same name (no. 153), belonging to the Count of Mortain, was also held by a woman {qiiedam femina). Hugh's wife held Woodyates (no. 65) of Glastonbury Abbey. John held Leftisford (no. 73) of Cranborne Abbey, and Chetel held Fifehead St. Quintin (no. 133) of Shaftesbury Abbey. BoUo the priest held Shilvinghampton (nos. 113 and Ix) of Cerne Abbey, and a hide at Atrim (nos. 116 and Ixiii), the other hide of which was held by a widow. Aiulf the sheriff held Cerne (nos. 108 and Ixxxii) of the abbey of Milton, which T.R.E. was held by Edric, who could not be separated from the church with this land. Ulviet (Wulfgeat) held Colway (no. 68) of Glastonbury Abbey both T.R.E. and in 1086 and could not be separated from the church. According to Exon. Domesday Bristuin held Woodsford (nos. 82 and xlv) of Cerne Abbey at farm, although the Exchequer text does not mention his tenure. The Bishop of Salisbury's manor of Lyme Regis (no. 36) was held by fishermen (piscatores) who rendered 15s. ad pisces, and Ower (nos. 105 and Ixxix), belonging to Milton Abbey, was held by salt- workers (salinarii) who rendered 20s. a year. Burcombe (nos. 1 1 5 and Ixii) was held by the rillani of Abbotsbury Abbev. The enfeoffment of knights was frequent on the ecclesiastical estates, especially in the case of the richer houses, that is, Sherborne and Glastonbury. At Alton Pancras (no. 33), belonging to the Bishop of Salisbury, Edward and Pain held zh hides each and at Sherborne (no. 37) the knights of the bishop held 22 i hides and included '" See p. iig. <" Bayeux Tapestry, ed. F. M. Stenton, 21. '^ For the king's thegns and their tenure, see p. 52. '* See pp. 60, 129. 38 DOMESDAY SURVEY Otbold, Sinod, Ingelbert, Ralph, Waleran, and the wife of Hugh. At Stalbridge (no. 42) Lambert held 2 hides, and at Beaminster (no. 46) the knights held 10 hides and a virgate. Two of them were obviously French (H. de Cartrai and Sinod) but the names Algar and Brictuin show that two others were English. At Netherbury (no. 47) Tezelin had 5 hides, 3 virgates, William and Godfrey 2 hides each, and Serle li hide. Walter held Buckham (no. 54) and two knights, Walter and William, held Chardstock (no. 49). Three knights, Godfrey, Osmar, and Elfric, held Bowood (no. 53), which three thegns held T.R.E. Two of these knights also must have been English. Of the Glastonbury manors Okeford Fitzpaine was held by knights, namely the wife of Hugh, who held 4 hides, and Alvred of Epaignes and Chetel who held 2 hides each. Four thegns had held the manor T.R.E. At Sturminster Newton (no. 63) Waleran held 6 hides, Roger i hide, and Chetel i hide, and at Buckland Newton (no. 65) the wife of Hugh had 7 hides, li virgate, and Warmund 2 hides. A knight and a widow held 3 hides at Piddletrenthide (no. 6g) belonging to the New Minster, Winchester. The meaning of the term 'thegnland' which occurs in connexion with some ecclesiastical land is obscure. It does not seem to have been held by military service, although a French knight {miles francigenus) held 2 hides of thegnland at Nettlecombe (nos. 88 and li). In some cases it seems to have been liable to some kind of service. At Cerne Abbas (nos. 76 and xxxix) Brictuin held 4 hides of land, which he also held T.R.E. et non potuit recedere ab ecclesia. Exon. Domesday records that the land was thegnland and that Brictuin rendered 305. to the church excepto servitio. A similar entry is that of Cranborne (nos. 16 and xxii), where 3 thegns held 3 hides of land (not specifically said to be thegnland) for which they rendered £2i excepto servitio. Exon. Domesday adds that they held the same land T.R.E. of Beorhtric and non poterant separari ab eo. It is not altogether clear from these entries whether the thegns both performed service and rendered money, or rendered money instead of doing service. Other evidence favours the latter interpretation. Durnford (Wilts.) was held T.R.E. by 3 Englishmen, two of whom paid 5^. while the third serviebat sicut tainusfi^ At Winsford (Som.) there was | hide which 3 thegns held T.R.E. et serviebant preposito manerii per consiietiidinem absque omnifirma donante. If these thegns did not contribute to the farm because they performed some service, then presumably the Dorset thegns who paid money renders did not serve. The \ hide attached to Winsford is entered twice, appearing again under the name of Robert de Odburville, who held it in 1086. Accord- ing to the second entry the land was judged to be thegnland {modo diratiocinata est in tainland).^^ This second entry implies that the thegns rendered service in the capacity of foresters, and suggests that the thegnland was set aside for men serving in a ministerial capacity. But from other entries it is plain that the term could be used simply to describe land once held by thegns. At Loders (nos. 13 and ix) there were 2 hides of thegnland que non ibi pertinent , which 2 thegns held T.R.E. In the Geld Roll for Loders hundred (which consisted solely of the manor of Loders), it is stated that ii hide quas tenuerunt tagni tempore regis Edwardi sunt addite hide mansioni. There is no reason to suppose that these thegns owed either service or money to the manor of Loders. At Hinton a priest held a hide of thegnland T.R.E. et poterat ire quo volebat. This terminology does not suggest land owing a service to the holder of Hinton.^^ Jn 1086 the land was in the king's <" Dom. Bk. (Rec. Com.), i, f. 67b; V.C.H. Wilts, ii. "' The statement that a manor owed service is in itself 81. There is a similar entry in Dorset relating to Tatton ambiguous. It could mean service like that described in the (nos. 345, 398 and cxxxi). Part of Tatton had been held Wmsford entries, or it could mean the rent in money or T.R.E. by a thegn of Cerne Abbey, who won poterat ab ea kind derived from the manor. When the Som.

Most of the thegns holding land of the ecclesiastical tenants in 1086 are not said to hold thegnland, and they were presumably just men with a thegn's wergild. At Long Bredy (nos. 87 and 1) an English thegn {teignus anglicus) had a hide of land worth ;^3. Six thegns held 8i hides at Sherborne (no. 37) and 2 thegns held 2\ hides at Stoke Abbott (no. 45). The thegn who held part of Farnham (no. 352) of Shaftesbury Abbey T.R.E. et tion poterat ab ea separari must have been commended to the church and may have owed some service like that of the 3 thegns at Winsford. He is probably identical with Alwin, who held the other part of Farnham (nos. 396 and cxxix) of the abbey T.R.E. et tion poterat ab ea separari. Two free Englishmen {angli liberi) held 4 hides at Handley (no. 125) of Shaftesbury Abbey. Three thegns held Bowood (no. 53) T.R.E., which was held by the same number of knights in 1086, 2 of them, Osmar and Elfric, apparently being English. There are a few references to churches in the Dorset survey. Bristuard the priest held the churches of Bere Regis and Dorchester, with the tithes and i hide and 20 acres of land (nos. 144 and xiii). The church of Gillingham was given to Shaftesbury Abbey in exchange for a hide of land at Kingston (no. 134) in which Corfe Castle was to be built.^* The church of Winfrith Newburgh, with a virgate of land, and the churches of Puddletown, Chaldon, and Fleet, with i| hide of land, were held by Bollo the priest (nos. 145 and xvi, 145a and xix). The churches of Burton Bradstock, Bridport, and Whitchurch Canonicorum belonged to the abbey of St. Wandrille (nos. 123 and xviii) and so did the church of Wareham (nos. 124 and xx). Another church in Wareham, pro- bably the 11th-century church of St. Martin, ^^ and a chapel {ecclesiola) in Wimborne Minster belonged to Horton Abbey (no. 117). To Wimborne belonged i^ hide and | virgate in Hinton (no. 31) which Bishop Maurice held in 1086. It is evident that this is not a comprehensive list of all the churches in Dorset in 1086. There must have been a Saxon church at Sherborne, and this is confirmed by the survival of a Saxon doorway in the west wall of the present building. ^o As their names suggest there must also have been Saxon churches at Yetminster (no. 35), Charminster (no. 32), Beaminster (no. 46), which belonged to the Bishop of Salisbury, Iwerne Minster (no. 131), belonging to Shaftes- bury Abbey, and Sturminster (no. 232) belonging to Roger de Beaumont. Three priests are recorded at Hinton (no. 31), two of whom still held land in 1086. One lived at Tarente. There was a priest at Church Knowle (no. 235) and another at Bleneford (no. 455), both of them being enumerated in conjunction with the peasants. Bristuard the priest and Bollo the priest have already been mentioned and Godric the priest occurs among the king's thegns. Walter the deacon (diaconus) held Cernel (no. 147) as an almsman. The most prosperous of the ecclesiastical landowners and after the king the wealthiest man in Dorset was the Bishop of Salisbury. The ancient see of Sherborne, founded by Ine in 705, and numbering Aldhelm and Asser among its bishops, had been restricted to the county of Dorset since the reign of Edward the Elder.^' In 1058 Bishop Herman united the sees of Sherborne and Ramsbury and between 1075 and 1078 the episcopal seat was transferred to Salisbury.^- This amalgamation of Sherborne and Ramsbury explains the size of Bishop Osmund's fief, which consisted of perdit) this could be taken to mean the income from the rather large. manor, not any specific service: Dom.

In addition the bishop and the monks held between them about 40 carucates of land in Dorset which never paid geld. The original endowment of the Bishop of Sherborne seems to have been 300 hides. A letter from Bishop Aethelric to Aethelmaer, dating from the early nth century, complains that he is not receiving ship-scot from 33 out of the 300 hides which his predecessors had for their diocese.74 He itemized the deficit as i hide at Btibbanciimbe, 2 hides at Alton Pancras, 7 hides at Up Cerne, 6 hides at Clifton, 5 hides at Hewish, 2 hides at Trill, i hide at Wyllon, 5 hides at Buchaematime, 3 hides at Dibberford, and i hide at Peder. Alton Pancras and Up Cerne (nos. 33, 34) were both held by the bishop in 1086. Clifton Maybank and Trill (no. 225) were held by Earl Hugh as the successor of Eadnoth the staller. Before the Conquest Eadnoth had bought two manors, Catsley and South Perrott (nos. 228, 229), of Bishop Aelfwold, on condition that at his death the manors should revert to the church; Earl Hugh, however, held them in 1086. It seems possible that South Perrott is the Peder of Bishop Aethelric's letter, but this has been disputed.75 Dibberford lies in Dorset, but does not appear in the Dorset survey.'^ Sherborne was originally a house of secular canons, but Bishop Wulfsige (992-1001) expelled the clerks and replaced them by monks.'? A dubious charter of Aethelred II, dated 998,^8 confirms to the church the manors of Bradford Abbas, Over Compton, Oborne, Stalbridge, Stalbridge Weston, Thornford, and Lyme Regis, all of which, with the exception of Lyme, were de victii monachorum Scireburne in 1086. Lyme was held by the Bishop of Salisbury in 1086. It had never paid geld and was held by an unspecified number of fishermen who rendered 155. for the fish (adpisces). The bishop had a house there worth 6d. In a charter dated 774 Cynewulf, King of the West Saxons, gave Lyme to the church of Sherborne for a salt-pan. 79 Bradford Abbas and Stalbridge were given to the church by Aethelstan^" and Oborne by Edgar.^' Aethelstan's charters give the extent of Bradford as 10 hides and of Stalbridge Weston as 8 hides and these reckonings agree with the Domesday assessment of the manors, but in Aethelred's confirmation charter Bradford is reckoned as 7 hides and Stalbridge Weston as five. In Edgar's charter Oborne is reckoned as 5 hides, as in Domesday, but in the confirmation charter it is reckoned as ten. Eadred is supposed to have given 8 cassati in Thornford to Wulf- sige II in 951, with a reversion to the church. 8- Thornford was reckoned as 15 cassati in the confirmation charter and in Domesday was assessed at 8 hides. Another charter of Aethelred II, dated 10 14, gave 13 hides in Corscombe to Sherborne,^^ and in 1035 Cnut '3 Potterne, Cannings, Ramsbury, and Salisbury salt-workers are recorded at the Bp. of Salisbury's manor (Wilts.), and Sonning (Berks.) were the endowment of the of Lyme, there were 1 3 salt-workers at the manor of Colway Bp. of Ramsbury.

A HISTORY OF DORSET gave 1 6 niatise in the same place to the monastery.^^ In io86 Corscombe (no. 44) was assessed at 10 hides less a virgate. The last five manors entered in the bishop's fief are preceded by the heading Has terras que stibterscribiintur habet episcopiis pro excambio de Scipeleia. He also held Chaddemvick in Mere (Wilts.) in exchange for Scipeleia. There is no indication where Scipeleia was or to whom the exchanged manors had belonged. The Dorset manors amount to over 20 hides and Chaddemvick is assessed at 5 hides, so Scipeleia should have been a sizeable manor. This consideration eliminates Shipley in Yorkshire, assessed at 3 carucates,^^ and Shipley in Derbyshire, assessed at 2 carucates.^^ William of Briouze held a manor called Shiplev in Sussex, but the fact emerges only obliquely in the account of Fulking and this Shipley is omitted from the Sussex Domesday. ^^ Xo other manor of this name occurs in Domesday and the exchange remains a myster}'. If Sherborne was the largest of the Dorset monasteries, the smallest was Horton, a poorlv endowed little house with only the manor of Horton (no. 117) in Dorset and 3 hides in Devon, a total of 10 hides in all. It may conveniently be discussed here since in 1 122 it was amalgamated with Sherborne and became a cell of that abbey. ^^ It seems to have been founded between 1033, when Cnut gave 7 manse in Horton to his minister Bovi,^^ and 1061, when Edward the Confessor freed the monks of Horton from all duties except geld, the repair of fortifications, and the building of bridges.'" According to William of Malmesbury Horton was founded by Ordwulf son of Ordgar, who also founded Tavistock Abbey, but he is last recorded in looS.^i It has been noted that Littleham (Devon), belonging to Horton Abbey in 1086, had been given by Edward to his minister Ordgar in 1042, and suggested that this Ordgar was a descendant of Ordwulf son of Ordgar and that the founder of Horton Abbey was a member of the same family.'- William of Malmesbury stated that the land which Ordwulf left to Horton Abbey was seized by the Abbot of Tavistock, and in 1086 the abbey of Horton was claiming the manor of Antony (Cornw.) from Tavistock Abbey .'^ The largest nunner}- in Dorset, and indeed in the whole of England, was Shaftesbury, which possessed about 360 hides, including 172 hides in Wiltshire, 161 hides in Dorset, the manor of Falcheham (Suss.), and 10 hides in Somerset.''* It was founded by King Alfred, whose daughter Aethelgifu was its first abbess.'^ Alfred left her a bequest of 100 hides"' of which 40 hides were at Donhead St. Andrew (Wilts.) and Compton Abbas, 20 hides at Handley and Gussage St. Andrew, 10 at Tarrant, 15 at Iwerne Minster, and 15 at Fontmell INIagna, all in Dorset. All these manors were in the possession of the abbey in 1086. Donhead St. Andrew was assessed at 40 hides, Compton Abbas at 10, and Iwerne Minster at 18, but the other hidages were the same as in Alfred's bequest. With the exception of Donhead St. Andrew these manors comprised the Domesday hundreds of Sexpene and Handley (later amalgamated under the name Sixpenny Handley).

Another charter of Edmund, dated 942, concerns the manor of Cheselbourne. According to this charter Edmund restored 7 manse of land at Cheselbourne to Wynflaed, a rehgious woman, with an additional grant of 8 manse in the same place. ^9 According to Domesday Cheselbourne was one of the manors taken by Earl Harold from the abbey and restored by King William in accordance with a writ of King Edward. It was then assessed at 16 hides. Earl Harold had also taken another manor, Pidele, from the abbey, which was not returned and was held by the Count of Mortain in 1086. According to a charter in the abbey's cartulary Edgar in 966 restored to the church 10 cassati of land at Uppidelen, which had originally been given by Wynflaed, described as his grandmother {ava), whose charter had been lost through carelessness.' Of the four manors called Pidele held in 1086 by the Count of Mortain, only one, Piddlehinton (no. 168), assessed at 10 hides, is large enough to be identifiable with Uppidelen. It had been held T.R.E. by two thegns^ro ii maneriis, and it is not said ever to have belonged to Shaftesbury Abbey. Uppidelen has in fact been identified as part of Piddletrenthide (no. 69), 2 held T.R.E. by Almar and Alverd of King Edward, which belonged in 1086 to the New Minster, Winchester. Neither Pidele (whether it be identified with Piddlehinton or Piddletrenthide) nor Melcombe (no. 30) was ever returned to the abbey, but half the hide in Farnham (no. 135), taken from the abbey by Aiulf and the wife of Hugh, was returned. Aiulf the chamberlain restored it to the abbey when his daughter became a nun there, and added the manor of Blandford (no. 336) for the soul of his wife. Drew of Montacute's daughter also became a nun at Shaftesbury, and on this occasion he gave to the abbey his manor of Nyland (no. I50).3 Apart from the two great houses of Sherborne and Shaftesbury the Dorset abbeys were quite small. Cerne Abbey was the foundation of Aethelmaer son of Aethelweard, patron of Aelfric the homilist. Aelfric was responsible for teaching at Cerne, and later became Abbot of Eynsham. Aethelmaer has been identified with the earl of the western provinces to whom Bishop Aethelric addressed his complaint about ship-scot inen- tioned above."* His foundation charter of 987^ gave to the abbey Cerne Abbas itself, with ID mafise in Winterborne, the two manors of Littlebredy and Long Bredy, reckoned at 12 and 16 manse respectively, and 3 manse in Renscombe. Leofric the clerk of Poxwell gave Poxwell, and Aelfrith, a relative of Aethelmaer, gave 4 cassati at Puddle. Alfwold gave 5 manse at Bloxworth. All these manors belonged to the abbey in 1086. Winter- bourne Abbas was still assessed at 10 hides, Littlebredy and Long Bredy were assessed at II and 9 hides respectively, and Renscombe at 5 hides, i virgate. Poxwell was a manor of 6 hides and Bloxworth of five and a half. Two manors called Puddle were " Cart. Sax. no. 781.

Its register was destroyed by fire in 1309, but there are in existence two versions of a charter attributed to Athelstan, one in Latin and the other in English.^ If these documents represent a genuine charter of Athelstan, he gave to the church 26 hides at Milborne, 5 at Woolland, three at the mouth of the Frome 'on the island, two on sea and one on land, that is to say at Ower', 3 at Clyffe, 3! at Lyscombe, i at Burleston, i at Little Puddle, 5 at Cattistock, 6 at Compton, 2 at Whitcombe, 5 at Osmington, and 6 at Holworth. In addition, he gave 30 hides at Sydling St. Nicholas for victuals, 2 hides at Chelmington and 6 at Hillfield, 10 hides at Ercecombe 'to timberlond', and a weir on the Avon at T\\yneham, with 12 acres to support it. With the exception of Chelmington and Hillfield these lands all belonged to the abbey in 1086. Milborne was presumably Milton Abbas itself, assessed at 24 hides. Woolland in 1086 was still assessed at 5 hides and Ower at 3,'' but the assessments of the other manors had changed from the earlier reckonings. Clyfi"e was assessed at 2 hides, Lyscombe at 3, Burleston (Puddle Burston) at 3, Little Puddle at 2, Cattistock at 10, Compton at 5, Whitcombe at 6, Osmington at 10, and Holworth at five. Sydling St. Nicholas was assessed at 29 hides. Ercecombe appears in Domesday as Ertacomestoche (nos. 106 and Ixxx), and can be identified as Stockland (Devon), which lay in Dorset at that date. In 1086 it was worth ^^9 and ftiit semper de dominio monachorum ad victum et vesttim eorum. The abbey held 12 acres on the Avon in 1086 and there had once been a fisher}' there. ^ Since it is known that in 964 Edgar expelled the clerks from Milton Abbey and replaced them with monks under Abbot Cyneweard,^ Athelstan's grant, if genuine, must have been made to a community of clerks. Abbotsbury Abbey, with 75 hides in Dorset, was founded by Urk, who had been a housecarl of both Cnut and Edward the Confessor, and his wife Tole.'° In 1024 Urk received 7 manse in Portesham from Cnut, and in 1044 5 perticas in Abbott's Wootton from Edward the Confessor." Both these manors belonged to the abbey in 1086, when Portesham was assessed at 12 hides and Abbott's W^ootton at two and a half. In a writ dating from between 1053 and 1058 Edward the Confessor commanded that his house- carl Urk should have his shore, with right of wreck. This is presumably a reference to Chesil Beach. A second writ of Edward, dating from between 1058 and 1066, gives permission to his 7naim Tole, Urks's widow, to bequeath her land to the abbey of Abbotsbur}% which he takes under his protection." One of the manors which the abbey derived from Tole must have been Tolpuddle, which bears her name.'^ William I issued two writs concerning the land and rights of the abbey, both addressed to Hugh fitz Grip, whose encroachments on the land of this and other abbeys have already been mentioned. ■"* ' Robertson, Anglo-Saxon Charters, no. xxiii and nn.

Hugh fitz Grip gave to this abbey a piece of land in Gillingham, which he received from the king's farm, and i hide at Orchard (nos. 422 and civ) pro anima sua. The manor of Cranborne belonged to the king in 1086, having been one of the manors which passed to Queen Maud from Beorhtric son of Aelfgar.'s When Robert fitz Hamon received the land which had once belonged to Beorhtric, he became the patron of Cranborne Abbey, and in 1102 made it a cell of Tewkesbury."^ Of the houses not situated in Dorset but holding land there, the most important was the abbey of Glastonbury, the richest house in England. The 52 hides held by the abbey in Dorset were only a fraction of its huge fief, totalling about 800 hides. The largest manors of the abbey in Dorset were Sturminster Newton and Buckland Newton. Each of these manors was the head of a hundred, and the two hundreds themselves were later amalgamated to form Buckland Newton hundred. Sturminster Newton had been bequeathed by Alfred to his younger son Aethelweard,'^ and according to a charter preserved in the Glastonbury cartulary it was given to the abbey by Edgar in 968. '^ Among the other religious houses with land in Dorset were the New Minster at Winchester (Hyde Abbey), with Piddletrenthide (no. 69) which had belonged to Roger Arundel ; Athelney Abbey, which held Purse Caundle by an exchange with the Count of Mortain, who received Bishopston (Montacute) in return ; Tavistock Abbey, with two small manors totalling 5 hides; and Wilton Abbey with Didlington and Philipston {Winburne). The land of the king's almsmen follows the account of the bishops' and abbeys' land. Bristuard the priest held the churches of Dorchester and Bere Regis (nos. 144 and xiii) with their tithes and i hide, 20 acres, of land. BoUo the priest held the churches of Winfrith Newburgh, with a virgate of land, and the churches of Puddletown, Chaldon, and Fleet, with i\ hide of land (nos. 145a and xvi, 145b and xix). He held land as a king's thegn as well, and was a tenant of Abbotsbury Abbey at Atrim. Walter the deacon (diacomis) held Cernel (no. 147), and Bernard held of him. But the most important of the king's almsmen was Rainbald (Regenbald) the priest, who held the manor of Pulham (no. 146). He is undoubtedly to be identified as Rainbald of Cirencester,'^ who held the post, if not the name, of chancellor under Edward the Confessor. He is called Rainbald canceler in the Herefordshire survey.^" He had held Pulham T.R.E., assessed at 10 hides. William I confirmed his lands to him,^' and in 1086 he held 67 hides in 5 counties, besides 8 carucates in Somerset. Some of this land had belonged to him T.R.E. and he had obtained some of it after the Conquest. ^- III In 1086 the greatest lay landowner in Dorset after the king was Robert, Count of Mortain, the king's half-brother, with 190 hides. His Dorset lands were a mere appendage of his vast estates in Cornwall, where he held virtually the whole county. He was probably the richest man in England apart from the king, with lands scattered in many areas, particularly the south-west, Yorkshire, Northamptonshire, and Sussex. ■5 There is a tradition that the abbeys of Tewkesbury Glastonbury, vol.

One of his Dorset manors, Piddlehinton, had apparently belonged to his wife, Maud.-' He derived his lands from a number of small thegns, but Edmar, who held his more important manors in Dorset, seems to have been a man of considerable wealth. He is probably identical with the Edmer who held land in Somerset and Devon which later passed to the count, and possibly identical with Edmer attile or atule who held land in Hertfordshire, Micidlesex, and Berkshire which belonged to the Count of Alortain in 1086.--* Count Alan, lord of Richmond in Yorkshire, held the 15-hide manor of Dewlish in Dorset. He held no other land in the area, and his possession of this solitary' manor is rendered more inexplicable by the fact that it had formerlv belonged to Beorhtric son of Aelfgar, whose lands generally passed to Queen jMaud. Hugh, Earl of Chester, held 35 hides in Dorset in consequence of his acquisition of the lands of Eadnoth the staller, who had held all but two of the Dorset manors held by Earl Hugh in 1086. Aubrey de Couci, sometime Earl of Northumbria, had held Gussage St. Michael in Dorset which in io85 was in the king's hand.--'' He had held several manors in Wiltshire and Gussage appears in the Wiltshire survey with the rest of his land. The Countess of Boulogne held 3 manors in Dorset, Winterborne Monkton, Bockhampton, and Swanage, all of which had been held by Wulfgifu T.R.E. The Geld Roll for Ailezes-zfode hundred refers to the tenure by Count Eustace (of Boulogne) of a manor which can only be Swanage.-^ The wife of Hugh fitz Grip held 116 hides in Dorset and 3 hides at Damerham (Hants), the latter as tenant of Glastonbur}^ Abbey. Her name is not recorded in Domesday, but in an inspeximns of Philip IV, dated 1305, concerning the land of the abbey of IMontevilliers, there is a charter by \\-hich Iladuidis, filia Xicolai de Baschel- rilla, uxor Hugoiiis de \ arhaii (Wareham) filii Griponis, ga\e the manor of Waddon to the abbey. Friar Waddon (no. 143) belonged to this abbey in 1086 by the gift of Hugh fitz Grip. It seems likely that the charter is genuine, and that Hugh's wife was Hadwidis or Hawise de Baschelville.-" Hugh fitz Grip, late Sheriff of Dorset, had held 18A hides of the queen, which had reverted to the king. The Domesdav survev itself supplies most of what is known about him, but two writs, both concerning the land of Abbots- bury Abbey, are addressed to him as sheriff.-^ Three Dorset abbeys, Shaftesbur}% Abbotsbury, and Cerne, had suffered losses at his hands, and he seems to have been responsible for the devastation of the Dorset boroughs. He also appropriated a virgate of \\'illiam of INIoyon's manor of Winterborne Houghton (nos. 275 and Ixxxv) and gave to Brictuin the manor of Little Waddon (no. 460) in exchange for a manor worth twice as much. He was dead by 1084, since Aiulf the chamberlain appears as sheriff both in the Geld Rolls and in Domesday. The wife of Hugh held 28 hides as a mesne tenant, 6 hides of the Bishop of Salisbury, 15 hides of Glastonbury Abbey (excluding Damer- ham), a piece of land in Purbeck of William of Briouze, and Ailwood (no. 482) of Swain. Aiulf the chamberlain held just over 55 hides in Dorset, 6 in Wiltshire, and 10 in Berkshire. Chine (no. 351) belonged to him as long as he was sheriff {qitaiudiii erit zicecomes) and Lulworth (no. 350) had belonged to Alfred, the Saxon sheriff. Aiulf's largest manor, Wootton Fitzpaine (no. 347), was held T.R.E. by Beorhtsige, a thegn of King Edward {miles regis Edzvardi).-^ None of his other Saxon predecessors was a man of any importance. By 1091 Aiulf was Sheriff of Somerset, and held both offices in the " See p. 130. =■• See pp. 31-32. Dorset Xat. Hist, and Antic/. Field Club, xiv. 1 15-16. ^* See p. 129.

Aiulf's brother, Humphrey the chamberlain, held just over 10 hides in Dorset. He held land in 8 counties, and seems to have been a protege of Queen Maud. In Surrey he held the manor of Combe whose previous owner, a woman, placed herself under the queen's protections^ and two of his manors in Gloucestershire had been given to him by the queen." Queen Maud pre- sumably gave him his two manors at Edmondsham (nos. 353, 354) since she had held the remaining portion of this vill herself (nos. 18 and xxiv). Eddeva, who held one of these two manors, is probably to be identified with the widow mentioned in the Geld Roll for Albretesberge hundred, who held a hide at farm of Humphrey the chamberlain which did not pay geld because Aiulfiis dicit reginam perdonasse pro anima Ricardi filii sui. Humphrey seems to have held some oflncial position in East Anglia under William Rufus, either as sheriff or as local justiciar. -'-^ William of Eu held 90 hides in Dorset. Over half of his entire fief (consisting of 336 hides in eight counties) lay in Wiltshire and Dorset. His lands were derived largely from Aelfstan of Boscombe, who held 36 hides in Dorset, and Toli, who, though less wealthy than Aelfstan, held a considerable amount of land in Dorset and the south-west. William's father. Count Robert, held land in Essex and Huntingdon, but the bulk of his fief lay in Sussex. The mother of William of Eu occurs once in the Dorset Geld Rolls, holding a manor which can only be Crichel (no. 266) which her son held in 1086.35 Eyton suggested that William's mother was a relative of Ralph de Limesi, who had once held land in Dorset and Gloucestershire which belonged to William in 1086.3^ In Dorset Ralph de Limesi had held Blandford St. Mary (no. 261) and in Gloucestershire 34 carucates of the honor of Strigoil (later Chepstow) and several manors. ^^ William of Eu was a rich and powerful baron but he did not retain his position long. In 1088 he took part in the rebellion against William Rufus, and in 1094 was involved in the plot against the king's life. In 1096 he was unable to clear himself of a charge of treason, and in consequence was blinded and mutilated, probably dying soon afterwards. ^^ His steward, William de Aldrie, was involved in his downfall and hanged. He held land of William of Eu in Wiltshire, and in the Dorset Geld Rolls appears as the holder of a manor which is probably Blandford (no. 261). Roger Arundel held a considerable amount of land in the south-west which later formed the honor of Powerstock. He had 65 hides in Dorset and 78^ in Somerset, most of which he derived from two English thegns, Aethelfrith and Aelmer. He had at one time held the 30-hide manor of Piddletrenthide (no. 69) which in 1086 belonged to the New Minster, Winchester. Roger's surname appears to be a corruption of rhirondelle, and has no connexion with Arundel in Sussex. ^^ As Roger Derundel he witnessed a charter to the Bishop of Wells in 1068, but is otherwise unknown.-*^ A much more famous figure was Roger de Beaumont,"*' who held 47^ hides in Dorset and the manor of " W.

Eyton remarked that 'the appearance of this name on any page of Domesday is a marvel'-*- since Roger must have been of an advanced age in 1086. He was the son of Humphrey de Vieilles, who died before i047.'*3 Roger furnished 60 ships for the invasion of England, but was already too old to fight in the battle of Hastings, and was represented by his elder son Robert.'^* Nevertheless, Roger remained active throughout his long life. As late as 1090 he supported his son Robert in a quarrel with the Duke of Normandy*' and about 1095 he entered the monastery of St. Pierre, Preaux, where he died as a monk, som^ years later {post aliquot aiinos (sic) comer sionis suae bono fine quievit)^^ Some of the men holding smaller amounts of land in Dorset were powerful barons in neighbouring counties. Edward of Salisbur}', who held two manors assessed at 38 hides in Dorset, was Sheriff of Wiltshire, where he held 193 hides. Much of his land in 8 counties, including his Dorset manors, had belonged to the English ladv Wulfwynn. Waleran the huntsman {venator), who held 38 hides in Dorset, had extensive lands in Wiltshire also. One of his Domesday manors. Church Knowle (no. 308), was given to him by William fitz Osbern. Robert fitz Ceroid held 22 hides in Dorset and 55 in Wiltshire. Ernulf of Hesdin, a Fleming from the Pas de Calais,-*" had land in Wiltshire and Gloucestershire, as well as his 15 hides in Dorset. William of Moyon,-*^ Sheriff of Somerset, had 36 hides in Dorset, and 75 in Somerset, including the manor of Dunster, where he built his castle. Turstin fitz Rolf, another Somerset landowner, held 1 1 hides in Dorset. He is perhaps to be identified with Turstin son of Rollo, who is said to have borne the Norman banner at Hastings.-*^ Two other Somerset barons, Serle of Burcy and William of Falaise, had 13 hides each in Dorset. William of Falaise was Serle's son-in-law, having married his daughter Geva.so Another of Serle's daughters was a nun at Shaftesbury.'' Walter or Walscin of Douai, whose lands lay mainly in Devon, held ID hides in Dorset, and Walter de Claville, who had 13 hides in Dorset, also held land in Devon. Unlike the foregoing barons, the bulk of the land of William of Briouze'^ lay at a distance, in Sussex, where he had over 400 hides. His 26 hides in Dorset were an insignificant part of his fief, later known as the honor of Bramber. A less important person was William of Ecouis,'' who held 1 1 hides in Dorset, and also held land at Caerleon, then part of Herefordshire. Most of his land lay in East Anglia and Essex. Hugh de St. Quintin, who had 4^ hides in Dorset, held 3 manors in Essex, and was a tenant of Hugh de Port in Hampshire. Hugh de Boscherbert who held iii hides, is unknown outside Dorset, but appears also as a tenant of the wife of Hugh fitz Grip. Some men who held isolated manors had received the estates of Englishmen whose lands were scattered over several shires. Baldwin of Exeter, Sheriff of Devon, held Iwerne Courtney (no. 316) as a result of his acquisition of the lands of Seward, who held this manor T.R.E. and appears as a predecessor of Baldwin in Devon and Somerset. It acquired its alternative name Shroton (i.e. sheriff's town) from Baldwin. The pre- decessor of Alvred of Epaignes'^ at Turnworth (no. 319) was Alwi, whose lands in Devon and Somerset had also passed to Alvred. Exon.

Trasmund, Osbern Giffard's predecessor at Hill (no. 318), had held one of his manors in Wiltshire also, and Matthew de Moretania's predecessor at Milborne St. Andrew and Owermoigne (nos. 320, 321) was John, who had previously held some of Matthew's land in Gloucestershire and Somerset. In the Exon. Domesday for Somerset he is called John the Dane. Strang the Dane held another of Matthew's Gloucestershire manors, and Torchil (another Danish name) appears as his predecessor in Somerset. The acquisition of the scattered land of an English thegn does not always account for the possession of these solitary manors. Hugh de Port's" manor of Compton Valence (no. 357) was held by Bundi, who does not appear as his predecessor elsewhere, and the manor of Corton (no. 238), belonging to Roger de CourseuUes,^*^ was held by two unnamed thegns T.R.E. Berenger Giffard's predecessor at Bredy (no. 3 17), Harding, did not hold either of his two Wiltshire manors. Subinfeudation had reached a considerable extent in 1086, especially on the larger estates. Both the Count of Mortain and the wife of Hugh fitz Grip had subinfeudated about two-thirds of their land in Dorset. Ernulf of Hesdin and Turstin fitz Rolf also had subinfeudated about two-thirds of their land, and William of Eu retained only about a quarter of his land in demesne. Earl Hugh and William of Briouze, whose chief possessions lay at some distance from Dorset, had subinfeudated all or virtually all their land, but William of Ecouis, whose land lay mainly in Norfolk, had retained all his Dorset manors in demesne. Roger Arundel and William of Moyon each held about half their land in Dorset in demesne. Roger de Beaumont, Robert fitz Gerold, and Aiulf the chamberlain" had retained the greater part of their land in demesne, and William of Falaise and Walter de Claville had so retained virtually all their Dorset manors. Some of this subinfeudated land was held by English tenants. Eddeva (Eadgifu) held Ed- mondsham (no. 354) of Humphrey the chamberlain, and Alwin (Aelfwine) held Stourton Caundle (no. 219) of the Count of Mortain. Beulf (Beowulf), who held Church Knowle (no. 308) of Waleran the huntsman, must have been English. It would appear from the Geld Rolls that other Englishmen had been holding land of Norman lords. 5^ Most of the mesne tenants, however, were French. The Exchequer text does not as a rule mention their surnames, and Exon. Domesday, which usually does, only covers one-fifth of the manors in Dorset. In the case of lands not covered by Exon. Domesday it is sometimes possible to identify tenants in Dorset with men holding of the same lord in other counties. Vitalis, who held the single Dorset manor of Roger de Courseulles, is probably the same Vitalis who held land of Roger de Courseulles in Somerset. Urse, who held two manors in Dorset of Ernulf of Hesdin, held one of his Wiltshire manors too. Bernard, who held two Dorset manors of Turstin fitz Rolf, is probably to be identified with Bernard Pauncevolt, who held land of Turstin in Somer- set and Gloucestershire, and was a tenant-in-chief in Hampshire and Wiltshire. Exon. Domesday for Somerset, Devon, and Cornwall supplies surnames for some of the ten- ants of the Count of Mortain, and some of the men holding land of the count in Dorset can tentatively be identified with men holding land of the count in these other South- western counties. Ansger, who held four Dorset manors of the count, may be identified with Ansger Breto or Brito who was a tenant of the count in Somerset and Devon. Malger, who held Wintreburne (no. 182) and part of Wool (no. 208) of the count, may be Malger de Cartrai, a tenant of the count in Somerset and Devon. 5?

Of the wife of Hugh's tenants, the William who held Bere (nos. 390 and cxxii) and Puncknowle (nos. 397 and cxxx) was William de monasteriis who also held land of Cerne Abbey; the William who held Morden (nos. 383 and cxvii), Winbiirne (nos. 388 and cxx), and Hampreston (nos. 389 and cxxi) was William de Creneto or Chernet; and the William holding Sturthill (nos. 394 and cxxvii) was William de Almereio, who as William de Dalmar held two manors as a king's serjeant.^' Durand who held Wilkswood (nos. 423 and clvi) was Durand the carpenter, who also held land as a king's serjeant. Hugh who held Brenscombe (nos. 421 and cliv) was Hugh de Boscherbert, who held two manors in Dorset as a tenant-in-chief.''- Roger who held Little Cheselbourne (nos. 378 and ex) was Roger Boissell, who appears as a tenant of Roger Arundel in the Exon. Domesday for Somerset. Walter, who held Turners Puddle (nos. 391 and cxxiv) and Swanage (nos. 417 and cl), was Walter Tonitruus. The Robert who held Creech (nos. 412 and cxlv) was Robert the corn-dealer {frumentimis), but Robert who held Tome (nos. 420 and cliii) was Hugh's nephew {nepos Hugonis) and Robert who held Hurpston (nos. 413 and cxlvi) was Robert the boy (puer). Ralph who held Ringstead (nos. 411 and cxliv) was Ralph the steward {dapifer). The Geld Rolls sometimes mention surnames not given in Domesday. In Whit- church hundred W^illiam de estra had one hide of the Count of Mortain, which can be identified as part of Cerneli (no. 212). Corscombe (no. 213) was held by the same William according to Domesday, so these two manors must have been held by William de estra.^^ Robert fitz Ivo, who appears as a tenant of the Count of Mortain in Exon. Domesday for Somerset, held land in Celeberge and CuUifordtree hundreds of the same count, probably to be identified as the manors of Morden (no. 172) and Stafford (no. 155). Ralph the clerk held land of the count in Dorchester hundred, which must be Cenie (no. 157) since this is the only manor in Dorset to be held of the count by a man called Ralph. William Malbeenc (sic) appears in the Geld Roll for Beaminster hundred holding a virgate of Earl Hugh, which can be identified as part of Catsley (no. 229). It is reasonable to assume that William Malbank held the other manors of Earl Hugh also, since he frequently appears as the earl's tenant. Clifton (no. 225) must have derived from him its later form of Clifton Maybank. He held all the count's manors in Dorset except one, Fifehead Magdalen (no. 220), which was held by Gilbert. In the hundred of Whitchurch it is stated that William 'the Goat' (capru) held 3^ hides of Roger Arundel. A man called William held 3 hides of Roger Arundel at Wraxall (nos. 328 and c). He may therefore be identical with William 'the Goat', a tenant-in-chief in Somerset. In Combsditch hundred William de monasteriis is said to hold 3 virgates of W'illiam de Aldrie, which never paid geld. W'illiam de Aldrie does not appear as a tenant-in-chief '° See p. 8. *' See p. 54. '- See p. 48. William de estra, and that Drew who held Nyland (no. " Later evidence suggests that the William who held 150! and Toller (no. 214) was Drew of Montacute; see Knighton (no. 193) and Hooke (no. 207) was the same as p. 60. 50 DOMESDAY SURVEY in Dorset. He was the steward of William of Eu, and the land in question may be the I hide at Blandford (no. 261) which did not pay geld, and which was held by William of William of Eu. It is true that the Geld Rolls mention 3 virgates, while the amount in Domesday is J hide, but it is difficult to see what other piece of land could be meant. After the land of Hugh de Boscherbert is entered the land of nine men described in the index as Hugo de Luri et aliifranci. Hugh de Lure held a manor of 5 hides (no. 362) in an unspecified locality (or rather localities, since it is called terra in tribus locis) which was held of him by a man called Ralph. Hugh de Lure was a tenant-in-chief in Northamptonshire where he held Weldon.*"* Hugh silvestris held \ hide in Stourton Caundle (no. 363), but is otherwise unknown. Fulcred who held Waia and Moorbath (nos. 364, 365) had held all but two of the manors which had belonged to Earl Harold, and which in 1086 were held by King William. Richard de Rivers, who held Mosterton (no. 366), rose to prominence in the reign of Henry I, from whom he obtained Loders, which he gave to the abbey of Montebourg.^s His son, Baldwin de Rivers, was made Earl of Devon by the Empress Maud, probably about 1 141.^^ Schelin held the manor of Shilling Okeford, or Shillingstone (no. 367), to which he gave his name. It was the largest manor held by afrancus, being assessed at 16 hides, and had belonged to Earl Harold. Schelin had held the manors of Edmondsham and Witchampton of the queen, ^^ and had received from her also part of Hampreston (no. 443), which in 1086 was held by Torchil as a king's thegn.^^ In Somerset Schelin held Foddington, which according to Exon. he held at farm of the king.^^ Another protege of Queen Maud was Anschitil fitz Ameline, who held Tyneham (no. 369) which he claimed to hold of the queen sed post mortem eius regem non requisivit. He seems to be identical with the man called Anschitil de Carisburgo in the Geld Roll for Hasilor hundred. David the interpreter [mterpres] who held Poorton (no. 368) is not otherwise known, unless he is identical with the David who held Ash (no. 287) of William of Briouze. Poorton was held of him by Godeschal. Ralph of Cranborne held West Parley (no. 371), and may be identical with Ralph who held Tarente (no. 370). A man called Ralph held one hide of Cranborne Abbey at Wimborne (no. 72). Odo fitz Eurebold held four small manors, Farnham (no. 372), Milborne Stileham (no. 373), Rushton (no. 374), and Petersham (no. 375). Peters- ham was a divided vill, the other part being held by Iseldis (no. 424). This lady held only this one manor and is not known outside Dorset. After the little manor of Iseldis are entered the lands of the king's thegns. They were Englishmen who had survived the Conquest either still in possession of some of their lands, or with the lands of other pre-Conquest thegns, and were the last representatives of the Saxon landowning class. The most prosperous* thegns in Dorset in 1086 were Brictuin (Beorhtwine) and Swain. They may be the men addressed in a writ of William I concerning the lands of Abbotsbury Abbey, which is directed to Bishop Herman, Brihtwi, Scewine, and all the king's thegns of Dorset.^" They each held about 20 hides. Brictuin held 1 1 small manors, totalling 19 hides and 8 acres, most of which he had also held T.R.E. His predecessor at Melbury Sampford (no. 441) is not named and Little Waddon (no. 460) was given to him by Hugh fitz Grip in exchange for a manor worth twice as much. The Count of Mortain is said to have held this manor in 1086, but it '■' Dom. Bk. (Rec.

'* In 1 194 Geoffrey Eskelling is entered in the Pipe Roll, '" Regesta Regum Anglo-Normannorum, \, no. 108. 51 A HISTORY OF DORSET cannot be traced among his other manors. Two of Brictuin's manors were held of him by others. Stinsford (no. 464) was held by Aiulf and six men {homines) held Ringstead (no. 463) at farm. Brictuin is probabty to be identified with the man called in the Geld Rolls Brictuin the reeve, since the land held by this man can be identified with some of Brictuin's Domesday manors. Swain held four manors, three of which were assessed at a total of 20 hides. The hidage of Milborne Stileham (no. 477) is not given. Three of his manors were held by his father T.R.E. and the fourth, Ailwood (no. 482), by a man called Azor. All four manors were subinfeudated in 1086. Hugh's wife held Ailwood, Osmund held Milborne, Ralph held Plumber (no. 453), and Robert held Wintreburne (no. 452). This suggests that Swain held land elsewhere. He may be identical with the Swain who held Stapleford (Wilts.) which his father had held T.R.E.^i It is also possible that Azor, the T.R.E. holder of Ailwood, was in fact the father of Swain, which would identify him as Swain son of Azor, who held Stoke Bruern (Northants.) and 22 houses in Northampton. 7- In 1095 Suege?i filiiis Azor contributed 205. to the Worcester relief. A man called Swain had held Colesbonie (Glos.) of the church of Worcester T.R.E. but does not appear to have held it in 1086.''^ Some of the less prosperous thegns held lands which they had held T.R.E. as did Godmund at Milton on Stour (no. 425) and Saward at Stourton Caundle (no. 479). The ten thegns who held Kingcombe (no. 485) had held it T.R.E. as one manor, and the two bordars who held j virgate (no. 480) in an unspecified localitj^ had held it freely T.R.E.7-* Godwin the reeve held a virgate in Wintreburne (no. 450) and Alward the reeve held Wool (no. 486) both of which they had held T.R.E. Almar held one virgate in Wool, which had belonged T.R.E. to Alward, presumably Alward the reeve (no. 487). Alward Colinc held Thorncombe (no. 439) which he also held T.R.E. He had been the pre-Conquest holder of Langton Herring, which Hugh fitz Grip had held of the queen (nos. 23 and xxix), and had held several other manors w'hich Hugh's wife held in 1086.75 Thorncombe was the only manor which he had retained. Some of the Englishmen who had retained or had been given lands evidently held them as a result of some service which they performed for the king. The number of huntsmen (vaiatores) recorded among the thegns of Dorset and neighbouring counties suggests that some of these men held their lands by serjeanty. Several men are called tenator in the Geld Rolls, and can usually be identified with one or other of the king's thegns. Ulvric the huntsman held a hide in an unspecified locality (no. 454) which his father had held T.R.E. Ulvric the huntsman is mentioned in the Geld Roll for Celeberge hundred, holding land which can be identified with Morden (no. 437). According to Domesday it was held partly by Ulvric and partly by his brother's wife, who is probably the lady named Ulveva in the Geld Roll. The manor was held by Ulvric's father T.R.E. In Canendotie hundred Ulvric the huntsman held land which can be identified with Ulvric's manor of Thornhill (no. 442), also held by his father T.R.E. Ulvric may be identified with the man of the same name who held a manor in Hampshire which his father held T.R.E.'''^ Ulvric the huntsman also occurs as a king's thegn in Wiltshire." In Albretesberge hundred Ulviet the huntsman had i hide, which is probably to be identified with the manor of Wimborne (no. 440) held by Ulviet. A man called Ulviet also held Blandford (no. 458), and may be identical with Ulviet the huntsman. Ulviet the huntsman held land in Hampshire and Wiltshire also as a king's thegn.^s Alvric the '> Dom.

He held both these manors himself T.R.E. Several other manors were held by Alvric in 1086, but whether this was the huntsman or not is uncertain. Alvric the huntsman held land in Wiltshire in 1086, and before the Conquest held i| hide at North Newton of the abbey of Wilton. In 1086 Richard Sturmid held this li hide, and it is possible that the Alvric who held several other manors as Richard Sturmid's predecessor is identical with Alvric the huntsman. Edwin the huntsman held land in the hundreds of Langeberge, Pimperne, Combs- ditch, and Uggescombe. His manors in these hundreds can be identified with Blejieforde (no. 438), Lazerton (no. 456), Bleneford (no. 455), and Shilvinghampton (no. 457). He may also be identical with the Edwin who held a virgate in Gillingham (no. 427). Unlike Ulvric, Ulviet, and Alvric, he did not hold any of this land T.R.E. Two of his manors had belonged to Alwi, one to Alwin, and one to Alward. He is probably to be identified with Edwin the huntsman who held Oakhanger (Hants), which Alwi held T.R.E., and Kingsclere (Hants). This last manor had been held T.R.E. by Edwin him- self, of King Edward.''^ Godric, who held a virgate in Gillingham (no. 428), is probably the man called Godric the huntsman in the Geld Roll for Gillingham hundred. Edward the huntsman held \ virgate in Gillingham (no. 490), and Ulwin, who held land in Gillingham (no. 429), was probably a huntsman also, although this is not certain. Godwin the huntsman held Walford (no. 448), which had belonged to Almar, and \ virgate (no. 451) which had belonged to Godric. Edric, who held seven manors amounting to 80 hides which had belonged to a thegn called Sawin T.R.E., can be identified with Edric the reeve mentioned in the Geld Rolls. BoUo the priest held two manors as a thegn, Mappowder (no. 431) which he and seven other free thegns had held T.R.E., and Chickerell (no. 432) which had belonged to Saulf. He held several churches as an almsman, and was a tenant of Cerne Abbey. Godric, who held Briantspuddle (no. 472) which had belonged to Azor, was not the huntsman, but can be identified with Godric the priest mentioned in the Geld Roll for Bere hundred. Dodo held \ hide of the queen in alms (no. 444) and the manor of Wilksworth (no. 445). The queen's manor of Edmondsham (nos. 18 and xxiv) had been held T.R.E. by a man called Dodo. Humphrey the chamberlain's manor of Edmondsham (no. 353) was also held by a man of this name T.R.E. and it seems likely that the same person is referred to in each case. A certain Dodo held a manor in Woolcombe (no. 474), assessed at i virgate. The other 3 virgates were held by Hugh Gosbert (no. 498) and were held T.R.E. by Dode monachus. It is uncertain whether Dodo the almsman of the queen is identical with Dode the monk, but this is quite possible. A man called Dodo had held Kington (no. 426) T.R.E., but in 1086 it was held by Chetel. Dodo is too common a name to identify him with either of the others. The king's Serjeants follow immediately upon the thegns. There are ten men in all under this heading. Hunger fitz Odin was the most important, with 21 hides, consisting of the manor of Broadwindsor (no. 505) and i hide in Little Windsor (no. 506). He may be identical with the son of Odo the chamberlain who claimed the manor of Chelborough (nos. 280 and xc), held by William of Moyon. Odin the chamberlain held Swindon (Wilts.). William Belet held 12 hides and i virgate. Although he is classed as a Serjeant in Dorset, he was a tenant-in-chief in Hampshire, where he held Woodcott. He had given this manor in dower to Faderlin, who married his daughter.**" William also held 12 acres of meadow at Hinton Martell (no. 31) and at one time held Hampreston " Ibid. ff. 49b, 50b. '" Ibid. f. 48b. DO. Ill 53 D2 A HISTORY OF DORSET (nos. 19 and xxv) of the queen, possibly at farm. William de Dalmar held two manors, Walditch (no. 501) and the land of three thegns (no. 494). The location of this land is unspecified, but it may be part of Tarrant Crawford.^' He was a tenant of the wife of Hugh fitz Grip.*- Hervey the chamberlain {ciibicidarhis) is identified by Eyton as Hervey of Wilton, a minister in Wiltshire.*-' John, who held Wititrebiirne (no. 500), can be identified as John the usher (hostiarius) who is mentioned in the Geld Roll for Combsditch hundred. He held six manors in Somerset and two in Wiltshire. Osmund the baker (pistor) held Woodstreet (no. 507) and Galton (no. 508). Hugh Gosbert held four manors totalling i hide, 3 virgates. Durand the carpenter {carpentarius) held Afflington (no. 510) and Moleham (no. 511) and was a tenant of the wife of Hugh fitz Grip. Godfrey the scullion [scuiulariiis) held a virgate in Herston (no. 512) which his father held T.R.E. Roger Arundel held J hide in Herston (no. 333) which Her held T.R.E. Her is not found outside Dorset and it is tempting to identify him with Godfrey's father. Apart from the men entered as king's Serjeants, two serjeanties appear to have been provided for out of ecclesiastical land. Goscelm the cook (cocas) held 4 hides of land of the king at Sturminster Newton (no. 63) belonging to Glastonbury Abbey, and Manasses, who held 3 virgates at Stalbridge (no. 42) belonging to the Bishop of Salis- burv guas WiUehinis filiits regis tiilit ab ecclesia sine consensu episcopi et monachorum, is identified by the Geld Roll for Brownshall hundred as Manasses the cook. Some of the serjeanties mentioned in Domesday can still be traced in the 13th century. In 1086 Osmund the baker held Galton. In 121 2 Robert de Welles held 2 hides in Wool and i hide in Galton a conquestu AngUe per serriciiim pistor is. ^* In 1219 William de Welles, presumably his son, held 40^. of land in Wool per serianteriam faciendi panem domini regis^= and still held it in 1 244 tit sit pistor domini regis. Hunger fitz Odin's manor of Broadwindsor was held in 121 2 by Thomas of Windsor de conquestu et de dono Willelmi Bastardi regis Anglie per seriantiam but the serjeanty is not specified. In 1219 the manor was held by John of Windsor, presumably Thomas's son, by the ser\eant\ fiindatoris scaccarii, and was worth /'15.*'' In 1244 Thomas, son of John, was ponder ator denariorum ad scaccarium domini regis de recepta apud Westmonasterium.^'' The holder of the manor of Broadwindsor was in fact the pesour or miles argentarius of the Dialogus de Scaccario.^^ Land held in 1086 by the king's thegns can sometimes be connected with later serjeanties. In the case of the baker serjeanty held by Robert de Welles, Galton was held in 1086 by Osmund the baker and Wool, the other manor involved, was held partly by Alward and partly by Almar, both king's thegns (nos. 486, 487). This seems to be an instance of an already existing serjeanty augmented by a grant of thegn's land. Edward the huntsman held h virgate in Gillingham (no. 490) as a thegn. In 1212 William de Hanton held \ virgate in Gillingham hundred of the gift of Henry I per servicium seriancie de luverez,^^ a serjeanty connected with wolfhounds. This is possibly identical with Edward the huntsman's | virgate. Ulvric the huntsman in 1086 held Thorn Hill (no. 442) and Morden (no. 437) as a thegn. In 1212 Godfrey de Pourton held Thorn Hill, part of Church Knowle, and Morden, et tenet terras istas per servicium unius haubergelli.'>° In 1219 the same land was held per seizicium zenandi.^^ " See p. 22.

It has been suggested that Aiulf the chamberlain was Robert Malet's deputy, since he held land in Lulworth, which was later connected with the deputy chamberlainship.''^ Lulworth, with the hundred of Winfrith and part of the hundred of Hasilor, was held in 1 212 by Robert de Neuburgh, per servicinm camerarii, and his ancestors' tenure by this service was said to go back to Henry I's time. In 1219 it was further defined as the service dandi aquam domino regi in diebus Natalis, Pasche, Pentecostey^ Robert was one of the co-heirs of Gerbert de Percy and Maud Arundel, who had held land in Lulworth at one time.94 Maud in turn was the heir of Roger Arundel, who, however, held no land in Lulworth in 1086. Aiulf's manor of Lulworth was held T.R.E. by Alfred, the Saxon Sheriff of Dorset, and Aiulf was himself sheriff in 1086. Gerbert de Percy, Maud's husband, was also Sheriff of Dorset. It was possibly Gerbert who received the manor of Lulworth and transmitted it to Robert de Neuburgh with the land which Maud Arundel received as heir to Roger Arundel. Aiulf may have been alive in 1130, since he appears in the Pipe Roll for that year, but he was not sheriff at that time.^s Land held by a serjeant in 1086 was sometimes held by knight service later. William Belet was classed as a serjeant in the Dorset survey, but in 1212 Robert Belet, pre- sumably a descendant of his, held his manors in Dorset as one knight's fee.^'' On the other hand, it is probable that though Matthew de Moretania was not classed as a serjeant in 1086, but entered as a baron as he was in Wiltshire and elsewhere, part (or all) of his lands was held by serjeanty as they were from the late 12th century by the Moyne family.^^ Jt was asserted that the serjeanty which William de Morville held at Bradpole in 121 2 had existed dt conquestii Atiglie'^^ but in 1086 Bradpole was among the group of royal manors headed by Dorchester (nos. 2 and xii). In 1212 also John Russell held Kingston Russell in Long Bredy per serianciam essendi marescallus buteilerie domini regis ad Natale Domini et ad Pentecosten and this serjeanty too is said to date from the time of William I, but the evidence of Domesday does not support this.^^ The later history of the lands of the tenants-in-chief can sometimes be traced down to the 13th century. Roger de Beaumont's land passed to his son Robert, Count of Meulan, and thence to Waleran, Count of Meulan.' Waleran's son, Robert, resigned his lands to his daughter Mabel, wife of William de Rivers, Earl of Devon.^ She and her husband were involved in a dispute in 1204 with William the Marshall over the ownership of Sturminster, which William the Marshall claimed had been given to him by Count Robert. ^ He was apparently successful, since in 121 2 he was holding Stur- minster of the Count of Meulan^ and gave it the name of Sturminster Marshall. Most of the manors of the wife of Hugh fitz Grip are later found in the possession of Alvred of Lincoln (not the Domesday tenant-in-chief) and his heirs. It is possible that Alvred was her second husband. ^ He seems to have been justiciar of Dorset in the reign of Henry P and appears in the 1130 Pipe Roll paying 60 marks to have Regenbald's '^ Regesta Regiim Avglo-Normannorum, i, p. xxv.

He is presumably identical with Alvred of Lincoln who gave Bruge{s) near Weymouth (probably Brigatn, held by the wife of Hugh in 1086) to JNIontacute Priory.^ Robert of Lincoln, Alvred's son, founded the priory of Holme, as a cell of Montacute, and among his donations were 3 virgates in Worth Matravers (nos. 417 and cl), the tithes of Langton near Abbotsbur)-, that is, Langton Herring (nos. 406 and cxxxix), and the tithes of Okeford Fitzpaine (no. 64), which the wife of Hugh held of Glastonbury Abbey in 1086. He also gave one tribute of salt from the salt-cotes at Langton.^ Robert's son, another Alvred of Lincoln, confirmed his father's grant, and added the church of Warmwell (nos. 410 and cxliii) and a garden near Bradle, which is probably the wife of Hugh's manor of Orchard (nos. 422 and civ)."** Alvred returned a carta in 1 166," when among his knights were three who seem to have been kinsmen of men holding of the wife of Hugh in 1086: William de monaster its was probably related to the man of the same name holding of the wife of Hugh ; Alvred Tonarre was probably a kinsman of Walter Tonitruus, and Terry de Boscherbert {Bosco Herberti) of Hugh de Boscherbert. This Alvred of Lincoln was appointed Sheriff of Dorset in 1 170 following the inquest of sheriiTs.'- His son and heir was Alvred of Lincoln (HI) who in 1212 held Sturthill, Langton, Tatton, and Lyme, all held by the wife of Hugh in 1086, and part of Buckland Newton, which she held of the Abbot of Glastonbury.'-^ The Glastonbur}^ feodary furnishes a list of the possessions which the family of Lincoln held of that abbev,'^ which includes Dontyssh and Hermyugs-zieU in Buckland, assessed at 7 hides, i\ virgate, Damerham (Hants), assessed at 3 hides, Woodvates, assessed at 4 hides, Okeford Fitzpaine, assessed at 8 hides, land at Stur- minster Newton, and Colway between Uplyme in Devon and Netherlyme in Dorset. In 1086 the wife of Hugh held of the abbey 7 hides, li virgate, in Buckland, Damerham, Woodyates, and 4 hides in Okeford Fitzpaine. She held no land at Sturminster Newton, and Colway, now part of Lyme Regis, must be the manor of Lym (no. 68) held by Ulviet of Glastonbun,' Abbey. Alvred of Lincoln (IV) succeeded to the estates and died in 1264 without male heirs. His land passed to his 3 sisters and their heirs. '^ Robert fitz Paine, son of Margery of Lincoln, received Okeford, William de Goviz, son of Beatrice the second sister, received Turners Puddle, and the portion of the third sister, Aubrey, passed on her death to the heirs of her sisters, with the exception of Langton, which she gave to Ingram le Waleys, whence it derived the name Langton Wallis.'^ Roger Arundel was probably the father of Robert de Arundel, who witnessed various charters of Henry I between 1 122 and 1 135 and was justice in eyre in the south- west in 1 130.''' Robert in turn was probably the father of Roger Arundel who appears in the Pipe Roll for 1161.'* It appears that Robert also had a daughter Maud, who married Gerbert de Percy, Sheriff of Dorset.'^ Apparently she was her brother's heir since in 11 65 Gerbert de Percy preferred 100 marks ^ro terra Rogerii Arundel. ~° In the following year he returned a carta as a tenant-in-chief in Dorset.

He was presumably the son of Roger de Newburgh {Novo Burgo) and a minor at the time when Robert Belet obtained custody of the land. This part of the barony continued in the possession of the Newburghs, but Robert de Poles's half passed to Robert fitz Payne, described as his brother in the Pipe Roll for 1189.2^ In 1236 Robert fitz Payne, presumably a son of the same name, held Worth, RoUington, and Blandford, all of which had belonged to Roger Arundel in 1086.29 He married Margery de Lincoln, who held the manors in 1242-33° and their son Robert was heir, both to Roger Arundel's lands and also to some of Alvred of Lincoln's lands. Robert fitz Gerold's heir was his nephew, William de Roumare, son of his brother Roger and Lucy, widow of Ivo Taillebois and later wife of Ranulf le Meschin, Earl of Chester. She held Bolingbroke and other lands in Lincolnshire. 3' The honor of Bolingbroke appears to have been composed of the lands of Lucy and those of Robert fitz Gerold.32 ii^ the reign of Henry I William de Roumare claimed the honor of Corfe (Mullen)^' which he eventually received. When, however, William de Roumare (III) died without heirs, the Lincolnshire lands passed to the earls of Chester as the descendants of Lucy by her third marriage, but the manor of Corfe Mullen was given to Hubert de Burgh, who held it in 121 2 de dono regis Johannis?^ Most of the Dorset manors held by Earl Hugh are later found as part of the honor of Chester, with the exceptions of Burstock and Catsley.^s One manor, Little Mayne, passed to the Knights Hospitallers, in whose possession it is found in the 13th century. ^^ Fifehead Magdalen (no. 220) was given to the canons of St. Augustine's, Bristol, by Robert fitz Harding, the gift being confirmed by Earl Ranulf.^*" This manor was held T.R.E. by Eadnoth the staller, whose son, Harding, survived the Conquest and became the ancestor of the Berkeleys.

At the same date, however, Ernulf 's largest manor, Kington, belonged to the honor of the Earl of Salisbury.-*^ It appears to have been part of the marriage portion of Earl Patrick's mother, Sybil, Patrick de Chaworth's daughter. In a note to the carta which Pain de Mundubleil, Patrick de Chaworth's grandson, submitted in 11 66, it is stated that Patrick, Earl of Salisbury-, then held 20 fees de matrimonio matris suae, presumably in the main manors which had belonged to Ernulf in Gloucestershire.-*-* The lands of Turstin fitz Rolf passed to Wynebald de Ballon+5 whose grandson, Henry of Neufmarche, returned a carta in 1 166.-*^ Henry's second son and eventual heir James died leaving two daughters between whom the barony was divided.

It seems reasonable to assume that Waleran fitz William, who in 11 30 rendered account for the dues of the New Forest, 5° was in some way related to Waleran the huntsman. Waleran fitz William is almost certain to be the father of Walter Waleram {sic) who accounted for the New Forest dues in 11565' and returned a carta in 1166.52 Three of his knights, Julian de Manestone, John de Vifhida, and Thomas de Wintre- burne, may reasonably be supposed to have derived their surnames from the manors of Manston, Fifehead Neville, and Wintreburne, which were held by Waleran the huntsman in 1086. Walter Waleran died in 1200-1, leaving as his heirs three daughters. Cecily married John de Monmouth, who in 1236 held Manston, Maiden Newton, and Sutton Waldron, which Waleran held in 1086.53 Joan married William de Neville and in 1235-6 held Winterborne and Fifehead, 5-* and in the same year Henry de Tore held i fee in Toller of Aubrey de Botreaux, the third sister.55 John de Monmouth, son and heir of Cecily and her husband, died without issue, and Sutton Waldron passed to William de St. Martin, heir of Joan de Neville by her second husband. 56 Of William of Movon's eleven manors in Dorset nine can be traced in the possession of the family of Mohun in the 13th century. In 1235-6 Reynold de Mohun held Hammoon, Chelborough, Little Windsor, Mapperton, and Chilfrome, Steepleton Iwerne, which has been identified as the Domesday manor of Weme or Iwerna (nos. 281 and xci), and Cruxton, identified as the Domesday manor of Frame or Froma (nos. 279 and lxxxix).57 Winterborne was part of the inheritance of Alice, Reynold's wife, and passed to his son John, when it was known as Winterborne Houghton. 5^ John also held Todber.59 Serle of Burcy's heir was his daughter Geva, who married first Martin and 3" Round, Geoffrey de Mandeiille, 271.

In 1212 Henry de Glanville held i knight's fee in Buckland hundred de honore de Bramele de conquestu Angliefi^ In 1303, in the same hundred, another Henry de Glanville held Wolfrenewotto7i of William de Brewes,^'^ which identifies the manor with Glanvilles Wootton (nos. 284, 285). The same Henry de Glanville held, in 1303, Grough in the hundred of Rowbarrow and Hasilor.^s This can be identified as the manor of Creech (no. 289), which William of Briouze held in 1 086. In 1 3 1 6 Henry de Glanville, John Mohun, Richard Joye, William of Stoke, and the Abbot of Cerne held Wyrgered cum Westeporte, Byestewall et Wolleberg.^^ Henry de Glanville can thus be shown to have some connexion with Worgret, one of the manors of William of Briouze in 1086 (no. 293). Baldwin of Exeter manor of Iwerne Courtney (no. 316) was held in 1212 by Hawise de Courtenay of the honor of Okehampton.^^ The Courtenays were the inheritors of most of the fief of Baldwin. "^^ The three Dorset manors of the Countess of Boulogne passed to the Cluniac priory of Le Wast.^' King John gave Winterborne and Bockhampton to Eustace le Moigne, who held them in 1 212 of the abbey. ^o It was pre- sumably from Eustace or his descendants that Winterborne acquired the name of Winterborne Monkton. Walter de Claville seems to have had a son, Robert, since in 1 1 14 Henry I confirmed to the church of St. Mary, Tewkesbury, two hides in Purbeck of the fee of Robert de Claville, 'i which is probably to be identified with the manor of Church Knowle (no. 332), assessed at two hides and held by Walter in 1086. In 1195 Richard de Sifrewast renounced his claim to 30 acres of wood at Morden, belonging to Gillian de Claville, wife or William de Claville. 7- Morden (no. 314) belonged to Walter in 1086. The descendants of kinsmen of Walter de Claville evidently became tenants of the honor of Gloucester, since in 1285 William de Clavyle and John de Clavyle held Holme and West Morden in the hundred of Hasilor and Rushmore of the honor of Gloucester.73 Both manors were held by Walter de Claville in 1086. Schelin's manor of Shillingstone, or Shilling Okeford, passed to his son, Robert, who gave -|- hide and half the church of Okeford Eskelin to Montacute Priory. He also gave to the priory the tithe of Edmondsham, a manor which Schelin had held of the queen.74 Schelin is to be identified with the man of the same name who held 5 hides in Nategrave (Glos.) as a tenant of the church of Worcester, since in 1095 Robert son of Skilin contributed ioo* Feud.

The evidence of the Geld Rolls indicates that Cerneli and Corscombe were held in 1086 by William de Estra. A man called William de Lestra gave two- thirds of the tithes of Durweston (no. 193), held by William in 1086, to the priory of Montacute.^o Richard del Estre, presumably a kinsman, returned a carta in 1166,^' and in 1 21 2 Richard de atrio held Durweston and Cerne (probably the Cerneli of Domes- day).^^ He also held 2\ hides at Knighton (in Durweston) in Hunesberge hundred.^^ Durweston, which William held in 1086, lay in Hunesberge hundred, and was assessed at 2\ hides. William de Lestre, who may have been Richard's son, held i fee of Mortain at Hooke in 1 235-6. ^-^ Hooke (no. 207) was held by William of the Count of Mortain in 1086. Drew, who held Nyland (no. 150) of the Count of Mortain in 1086, was Drew of Montacute, who gave the same manor to the abbey of Shaftesbury. *5 in 1 166 Drew the younger returned a carta which names one of his knights as Thomas de Tolra, pre- sumably Toller Whelme in Dorset, which Drew held of the Count of Mortain in 1086.^^ In 1 212 William de Montacute held the hundred of Puddletown and his grandson of the same name held Toller and Puddle Loveford in 123 5-6. ^^ According to the Geld Rolls Hugh Maminot held land of the Bishop of Lisieux, Gilbert Maminot, in 1086. Hugh's daughter married Ralph de Keynes and received as her marriage portion Tarrant in Langeberge hundred. Combe in Winfrith hundred, and Somerford (Glos.).^^ All three manors were held by the Bishop of Lisieux in 1086 and derived from Ralph the names Tarrant Keyneston, Coombe Keynes, and Somerford Keynes. A man called Ralph de Cahaines is mentioned in the Pipe Roll of 1 130^' and if he is identical with Hugh Maminot's son-in-law, then he was perhaps the father of Ralph de Keynes who returned a carta in 1 166,^° one of whose knights was William de Cumba.

H. Ellis (Record Commission, 1816), both of which are referred to in the footnotes as 'the printed version'. These printed texts have been checked, in the case of the Exchequer text, against Domesday Book, or the Great Survey of England . . . Facsimile of the Part relating to Dorsetshire, photozinco- graphed at the Ordnance Survey office, 1862 (referred to in the footnotes as 'the facsimile'), and, in the case of Exon. Domesday (and the Geld Rolls), against a photocopy of the manuscript preserved in Exeter cathedral library (referred to in the footnotes as 'the MS.'). The text of the Dorset Domesday was first published in 1774 in volume i of John Hutchins's History and Antiquities of Dorset, together with the text of the Dorset Geld Rolls and two extracts from Exon. Domesday. Volume 4 of the second edition of Hutchins's work, which appeared in 1815, also contained a translation of the Dorset Domesday by the Revd. William Bawdwen. In accordance with the practice of the V.C.H., identifications of place-names in the Exchequer text of Domesday have been inserted in square brackets after the original forms. Where the Domesday place-name is that of a hamlet, farm, house, or similar site the name of the parish in which the site is or was situated has been added. The parish boundaries and spelling of place-names are taken from the Ordnance Survey 2-0" sheets. Quotations from the Latin text of both versions of the survey have been placed in round brackets and printed in italic type. Interpolations in the English translation are also indicated by round brackets. The expression 'T.R.E.' has been used throughout as a rendering of the phrases t[empore] r[egis] E[dzvardi] or tempore E[dwardi] regis in the original texts. In order to simplify cross-reference, each item in the Exchequer text (except the four borough entries at the beginning) has been given an arable number. Each item in Exon. Domesday (with the same exception) has similarly been given a small roman number and is printed after the corresponding entry in the Exchequer text and marked by a vertical line. The arrangement of items throughout the translation is that of the Exchequer text, from which (as explained above at pp. 2-3, 5) Exon. differs in several places.

Domesday relate to the five south-western counties originally covered by the volume. There are three differing versions of the Wiltshire roll, each the work of a separate scribe,' but the Geld Rolls for Dorset,^ Devon, Cornwall, and Somerset^ seem all to be written in one hand. At the foot of folio 82 in the Somerset roll a different hand appears and also writes folio 82b, but the detached portion of the Somerset rolH seems to be the work of the main scribe. Both hands can be recognized in Exon. Domesday itself. Three different hands at least can be identified in the Dorset section of Exon. Domesday, and two of these hands are identical with those of the Geld Rolls. The first scribe (A) who wrote the entry relating to Child Okeford on folio 25 can be identified as the main writer of the Geld Rolls. The second scribe (B) wrote the entry for Puddletown which follows that for Okeford on folio 25 ; he does not appear to have written any part of the Geld Rolls. The third scribe (C), who wrote the entries for Portland and Fleet on folio 26, seems to be the subsidiary scribe who wrote part of folio 82 and folio 82b in the Geld Rolls. In addition to these three hands a fourth scribe (D) seems to have written folio 47, covering the land of William of Moyon in Wiltshire and the beginning of his land in Dorset. The Geld Rolls are arranged hundred by hundred. Under each hundred the number of hides in the hundred is entered first, followed by the total amount of exempt demesne held by the tenants-in-chief, which is then broken down into the demesne of each tenant-in-chief by name. The number of hides from which the king received or should have received geld follows and the amount of geld paid. 5 Lastly there are details of exemptions and defaults. In some hundreds the details of the account do not tally with the stated number of hides in the hundred. Usually the discrepancy is quite a minor one, a matter of one or two virgates, and in some cases fractions have been omitted from the total, but in two cases the difference is more serious. In Langeberge hundred, according to the Geld Roll, there should be 84 hides, but the details of the account add up to 88| hides and 4 acres. In Aileveswode hundred there should be 73 hides, but the details add up to 78 hides, i| virgate. In the same way, but less frequently, the total amount of exempt demesne does not always tally with the sum of the individual demesnes. In Canendone hundred the king's barons are said to have 22 hides and | virgate in demesne, but in fact they held a total of 20 hides and 1 1 virgate less 5 acres. In Puddletown hundred the king and his barons are said to have 47 hides less \ virgate in demesne, but in fact they had 36 hides, 2\ virgates.^ Occasionally the Geld Rolls include non-gelding carucates as part of the exempt demesne. In Yetminster hundred there were 47 hides. The Bishop of Salisbury had tanturn terre . . . quantum (possunt) arare vi carruce. The barons had in demesne 6 hides, i virgate, and 6 carucates, and the bishop 6 carucates. These six carucates can easily be identified as the terra vi ' Dom. Bk. (Rec. Com.), iv. i-6 (ff. i-3b), 6-11 (ff. ' In a number of hundreds the amount of geld paid 7-9b), 12-18 (ff. 13-16). These 3 scribes did not write any precedes the amount of exempt demesne, other part of the Geld Rolls. For a further discussion of ' This error of a round 10 hides probably represents the palaeography of the Geld Rolls, see V.C.H. Wilts, ii. a slip on the part of the scribe.

"5 A HISTORY OF DORSET cariicaruni que mmquam geldavit T.R.E. which the Bishop of Salisbury had in demesne at Yetminster (no. 35). In Sherborne hundred there were Ixxv hide et dimidia {et xxv carucate) . . . Inde habent episcopus et sui tnonachi in dominio xxv carrucatas. This land was at Sherborne itself (no. 37) where the bishop had 16 carucates in demesne and the monks had gi carucates. There is, however, no reference in Buckland hundred to the land for 8 ploughs que minqiiam geldavit which the Abbot of Glastonbury had in demesne at Buckland Newton (no. 65), or in the hundred of Newton to the land for 14 ploughs que mmquam gildavit which the same abbot had in demesne at Sturminster Newton (no. 63). The Bishop of Salisbury had land for 2 ploughs which never paid geld at Charminster (no. 32) in Dorchester hundred, but it is not recorded in the Geld Roll for that hundred; he also had two such carucates at Stoke Abbott (no. 45), two at Beaminster (no. 46), and two at Netherbury (no. 47), all in Beaminster hundred, which are not recorded in the Geld Roll for Beaminster. There is only one, indirect, reference in the Dorset rolls to the manors of King Edward; in Whitchurch hundred, which must have included Burton Bradstock (nos. 2 and x), there were 84 hides and 3 virgates preter firmam regis. Otherwise the manors which rendered the night's farm are not mentioned at all. It was only the tenants-in-chief whose demesnes were exempt from geld. Their mesne tenants were liable to the whole geld, on both demesne and the land of the viUa7iiP The exemption of the baronial demesnes from geld seems to have been exceptional. It is obvious from the language of the Exchequer text and of Exon. Domesday that the usual practice had been for the whole manor to pay geld, and such seems to have been the custom in the 12th centun,' also. On the occasion of this levy, however, the baronial demesnes were exempt, perhaps because the geld itself was levied at the unusually heavy rate of 6^. on the hide.^ Other land was exempt in special instances, as appears from the Geld Rolls, although it is difficult at times to distinguish between exemptions and defaults. It is likely that when the text uses the phrase mmquam habidt rex geldum it is recording an exemption and that the phrase non habet (or habuit) rex geldum {hoc anno) indicated a default. This is not always true. In Albretesberge hundred the king did not have geld {non habuit rex geldum) from i hide which a widow had at farm of Humphrey the chamberlain, but the context shows that this was an exemption, not a default; the king had no geld because it had been remitted. Sometimes geld had been paid after the stated terms laid down for its collection. From Frampton hundred the king had £2 ^ 2^. o^. from the land of Caen Ahhey post constitutos terminos.'^ There are several references to these terms. The account of Badbury hundred makes it clear that there were two terms : habuit rex Ixiiii solidos {pro x hidis et dimidia et dimidia virga) intra ii terminos. It is likely that the money was paid in two equal instal- ments, one at each term. Sometimes money which should have been paid at the first term was withheld until the second; sums of 125. had been so withheld in Yetminster and Whitchurch hundreds. '° One of the terms was Easter, as the Dorset rolls show. In Canendone hundred de v hidis de terra Gode qiiam tenet Rotbertus de Oilleio ad firmam de rege habuit rex geldum post Pascha ; in Puddletown hundred pro x hidis quas habet comes Alanus habidt rex Ix et ii solidos et vi denarios post Pascha; and in Haltone hundred Rotbertus de Oilleio retinuit inde xv solidos usque post Pascha {quos nundum habet rex).

Dove, 97-98. 116 DORSET GELD ROLLS From this last example it seems that Easter was the later of the two terms. Lady Day seems to have been an alternative date for this term; in Cogdean hundred pro x et vii hidis et dimidia reddiderunt homines Rogerii de Bello Monte c et v solidos post festum sancte Marie. The collectors themselves were sometimes responsible for irregularities, either by collecting geld in one hundred which should have been paid in another, or, as in Gillingham hundred, failing to render money which they had received: quia iiii congregatores huius pecunie non reddiderunt denarios quos receperunt dederunt vadimonium in misericordia ad reddendos denarios et ad emendandum forisfacturam. In Uggescombe hundred the collectors had received 245. quos recipere non deberent,^^ and moreover Hi solidi et vi denarii inventi sunt indicis eorum super numerum. This same phrase occurs in the account of Glochresdone hundred, where the four collectors had received 12^. for land in another hundred, and in addition indicis eorum inventi sunt vi solidi super numerum hidarum. This may simply mean that the collectors had received money when they ought not to have done, for example from exempt land, but the references to the number of hides suggest that the body which checked the collectors' returns had a record of the geldable capacity of each hundred, perhaps derived from the accounts of an earlier levy of geld. Such a record might explain the not infrequent disparity between the number of hides said to be in a hundred and the details of the account. If the totals given in the geld rolls were derived from an earlier collection of geld they might have ceased to be accurate. The accounts of both Gillingham and Glochresdone hundreds refer to four collectors, and four collectors are mentioned in the account of the Wiltshire hundred of Chippen- ham.'^ In Wiltshire they are sometimes called congregatores, as in Dorset, and sometimes collectores. In Somerset and Devon they are called fegadri and in Devon they seem to have been entitled to i geld-free hide, or to the geld from i hide. They seem also to have been called hundremanni in some Devon hundreds. In one of the hundreds of Cornwall there is a reference to 4 hides which never paid geld secundum testimonium hundreman- norum and it is possible that these were the Cornish geld collectors. Individual collectors are mentioned twice, Celwi in Wiltshire and Ansger in Somerset." The Somerset rolls mention a higher body to which the collectors were responsible, presumably the same body as that which checked the accounts of the hundreds of Uggescombe and Glochresdone. In Bedminster hundred (Som.) the fegadri had received the geld on i hide which they had not paid in and for this vadiaverunt foris ante baronum regis. ^"^ Both the Somerset and the Devon rolls mention the transportation of the geld to Winchester. In Somerset illi qui portaverimt has [libras'\ Wintoniam received 40^. These Somerset portatores geldi had received is. 3^. which the king did not have and non potuerunt compotum reddere. Hos vadiaverunt sese reddituros legatis regis.^^ In Devon William Hostius and Ralph de Pomario debebant geldum portare ad thesaurum regis Wintonie.^^ The Dorset rolls give the total amount of money collected but do not mention the transportation to Winchester. The three Wiltshire rolls show that two groups of persons, one headed by a certain Walter and one by Bishop William, supervised the collection of arrears, but some money was still outstanding. '^ It is still a matter of controversy whether the Geld Rolls date from 1084 or 1086, but the view of most scholars is that they belong to 1084. In that year, according to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, a heavy geld of ds. on the hide was levied and the Geld Rolls " This seems to have been the geld on 4 hides belonging " Ibid. ■•• Dom. Bk. (Rec. Com.), iv. 69 (f. 76b). to Abbotsbun,' Abbey, which should have paid geld in '^ Ibid. 489 (fF. 526b, 527). Whitchurch and Redhone hundreds. " Ibid. 65 (f. 71). " V.C.H. Wilts, ii. 170. ■' V.C.H. Wilis, ii. 171-2. 117 H2 A HISTORY OF DORSET are the record of a tax assessed at that amount. It has been maintained, on the other hand, that the Geld Rolls are contemporary' with Domesday and are based upon information collected by the Domesday commissioners, '^ but the arguments advanced in support of this conclusion do not seem strong enough to outweigh those for the traditional date.'' Among the latter the silence of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, which makes no reference to the taking of a geld in 1086, is an important element. One argument for 1086 as the date of the Geld Rolls is based on the supposition that three land-holders, Manasses the cook, Serle of Burcy, and Odin the chamberlain, died during the Domesdav inquest and are referred to as already dead in parts of the Geld Rolls. -° It is clear, however, that the compilers of the Geld Rolls and of Domesday were not consistent in their references to deceased tenants since Wulfweard White, for example, is mentioned in the Dorset Geld Rolls in terms which imply that he was dead while a passage in the Somerset Geld Rolls could be taken to mean that he was alive and was interpreted in that sense by Round.-' As Ellis noted, the survey of Buckingham- shire treats Queen JMaud as alive in 1 086 while elsewhere in Domesday she is referred to as dead." Similarly it might be inferred from Domesday that Earl Godwin, Earl Leofric, and Earl Aelfgar were all living in 1066. The fact that the Dorset Geld Rolls indicate that Peter, Bishop of Chester, had died before the time of their compilation has also been cited as evidence that the Geld Rolls belong to 1086, -^ but the traditional date, 1085, for Peter's death, which is given by Stubbs, does not seem to be based on any contemporary' source.-^ The compiler of the Burton annals gives the date of Peter's death as 1086, and he is followed by Thomas of Chesterfield (d. i45i).-5 This date conflicts with the accepted date for the election of Peter's successor, Robert de Limesey, who was chosen at the Christmas court in 1085^^ and consecrated a little later, probably early in 1086.^^ Wharton, Chesterfield's editor, accordinglv corrected the date for Peter's death to 1085, which may be the source from which Stubbs derived his date. Chesterfield, however, again following the Burton annals, also dates the consecration of Robert de Limesey 1088 instead of 1086. He is thus two years out in his reckoning, and this mistake suggests that his date for Peter's death should also be corrected, to 1084, which is perfectly compatible with the tradi- tional date for the Geld Rolls. In Dorset, as in Wiltshire, the sizes of the baronial demesnes as given in the Geld Rolls and as given in Domesday sometimes coincide, but just as frequently differ. Out of 95 cases where direct comparison is possible, there are 51 instances where the demesnes do not agree. Sometimes the disparitv is small, but sometimes serious. It has been argued that the differences between the demesnes of the Geld Rolls and those of Domesday are too great to be accounted for by a lapse of two years, but are 'precisely what we should expect to find when the records of a traditional tax, collected for twenty years, without the special procedure of inquisition, by local collectors, using rule-of- thumb methods, are set against the figures disclosed bv the stringent and searching Domesday Survey'.-^ This is a matter of opinion, and neither view is capable of proof or disproof, but the fact that it is sometimes impossible to reconcile the information >' V.

Bk. loo-i. 118 DORSET GELD ROLLS given by the Geld Rolls with that given by Domesday makes it difficult to accept the contention that both are based on the same enquiry. The view has recently been ad- vanced that the discrepancies between the demesnes of the Geld Rolls and those of Domesday arise because each document deals with a different kind of demesne, the latter with the manorial demesne or home farm (which could easily be changed from time to time by the addition or subtraction of land held by zillani or by grants to tenants), and the former with fiscal demesne, the amount of the manor exempt for taxation purposes, which was 'fixed, traditional and very difficult to alter' .^^ This view also is hypothetical, having no evidence to support it, and does not explain why Domesday, which is careful to record all that pertains to geld, should count only the fluctuating manorial demesne and not the fixed fiscal demesne. In some cases it is possible to put forward a reason for the difference in the size of the demesne. In Canendone hundred the abbey of Horton had 4 hides in demesne. Horton Abbey had only one manor in Dorset, Horton itself (no. 1 17), but according to Domesday there were only 2 hides in demesne. Domesday also records that the two best hides were held by the king in his forest of Wimborne. If this was also the case at the time of the Geld Rolls, there is no reason why they should not say so, since they record a similar afforestation in Wiltshire. 3° It seems at least possible that between 1084 and 1086 the king took 2 hides of the demesne at Horton into the forest of Wimborne. In Badbury hundred Schelin held i hide and 3 virgates in demesne and | hide from which nunquam habtiit rex geldiim. The manor concerned must be Witchampton (nos. 20 and xxvi), which, according to Exon. Domesday, was held by Schelin of Queen Maud. There was | hide which nunquam reddebat gilduni, but both the Exchequer text and Exon. Domesday give the demesne as 2 hides and i| virgate, not i hide and 3 virgates. In fact the 5 hide which never paid geld had been added to the demesne. The case of Schelin has been used as evidence that the Geld Rolls and Exon. Domesday are based on the same materials but if this is so it is odd that they should give different amounts of demesne for the same manor. Further, there is no need to assume, as Eyton did, that Schelin's tenure of this manor and Edmondsham (nos. 18 and xxiv), which he also held of the queen, had ceased before the time of the Domesday survey, or that he necessarily held of her in fee. He may have held of her at farm, in which case the Exchequer text might omit his tenure just as it omitted other men who held land at farm. Schelin in the Geld Rolls accounted for the geld on these two manors just as Fulcred accounted for the geld of Fleet in Uggescombe hundred. In Badbury hundred also the king had \ hide in demesne. His manor must have been Wimborne Minster (nos. 21 and xxvii), assessed at \ hide, but the Exchequer text and Exon. Domesday give the demesne as i virgate, adding that, although the | hide never belonged to the night's farm at Wimborne, it never paid geld. Here land regarded as demesne in the Geld Rolls is entered as an exemption in the Domesday records. In Aileveswode hundred Count Eustace is credited with i hide and 3- virgate in demesne. This is the hidage of Swanage (nos. 515 and xxxviii), which was held by the Countess of Boulogne. According to Exon. Domesday she had no demesne in the manor and rex Willelmus nunquam habuit geldum de hac mansione. It seems as if in this instance the Geld Rolls recorded as exempt demesne land which should in fact have paid geld, and that the Domesday commissioners discovered and recorded the fact. The Domesday survey appears to have uncovered certain other facts not known to the geld collectors. In Beaminster hundred William Malbank held of Earl Hugh a virgate from which nunquam habuit rex geldum. This land was at Catsley (no. 229) " R. Welldon Finn, 'The Geld Abstracts in the Liber 3o y.C.H. Wills, ii. 208 (Downton hundred). Exoniensis', Bull. John Rylands Libr. xlv. 370-89. "9 A HISTORY OF DORSET where there was a virgate de qua celatum est geldutn T.R.W. In Bere hundred Walter Tonitruus held \ hide of the wife of Hugh fitz Grip from which nunquam habuit rex geldutn. This was at Turners Puddle (nos. 391 and cxxiv) where, according to Exon. Domesday, there was ditnidia hida et quattuor agri et i ortus que nunquam gildavit sed celatum est. It has been argued that these two instances show the dependence of the Geld Rolls on evidence uncovered by the Domesday inquest, since it would be illogical to describe as 'concealed' in 1086 land which had been known in 1084. But it seems more accurate to say that Domesday revealed here not the land but its liability to pay geld, of which the geld collectors were ignorant since they recorded it as exempt. There is also an exemption or default (the language is unclear) recorded in the Ex- chequer text but not in the Geld Rolls. At Warmwell (no. 226), which William held of Earl Hugh, there was a virgate que nunquam gildavit. Warmwell lay in Celberge hundred, but the virgate is not mentioned in the hundred account. Some of the discrepancies between the Geld Rolls and the Domesday texts could be more easily explained if the Geld Rolls were assigned to 1084. In Knowlton hundred the mother of William of Eu is credited with yi hides in demesne, which was the demesne of Crichel (no. 266), held in 1086 by William himself. It would be natural to assume that in the interval between 1084 and 1086 William's mother had died and her land had passed to her son. In Glochresdone hundred Roger Arundel had 4 hides and a virgate in demesne. Two of his manors, Powerstock and Wraxall, can be assigned to this hundred, but in neither did he have any exempt demesne in 1086, since both were subinfeudated. William 'the Goat' (caprti), who may have been one of the tenants, is mentioned in the geld account. It is possible that one or both of the manors was or were held by Roger in demesne in 1084 and subinfeudated between 1084 and 1086. In Badbury hundred Picot held of the Count of Mortain ^ hide which never paid geld. This can be identified as li virgate at Witchampton (no. 188) on which geld had never been paid {de qua iiunquam dedit geldutn), but in 1086 Witchampton was held not by Picot but by Hubert. It seems possible that the land was taken from Picot and given to Hubert between 10S4 and 1086. Several mesne tenants recorded as holding land in the Geld Rolls do not appear in the Domesday texts. In Langeberge hundred William Caisnell held 3J hides of the wife of Hugh fitz Grip, but no man of that name is recorded among her tenants in 1086. Walchelin is twice recorded as a tenant of the Count of Mortain, but did not hold of him in 1086. In Winfrith hundred Robert had \ hide of the count which never paid geld. Several manors were held of the count by persons named Robert in 1086, but none can be assigned to this hundred and none had such an exemption. In Whit- church hundred Bollo the priest had \ hide of Cerne Abbey, but he is not recorded as a tenant of that abbey in the Domesday texts. Other contradictions between the Geld Rolls and the Domesday texts suggest that they drew upon diff"erent sources of information. According to the geld account of Buckland hundred Robert de Oilly did not pay geld on 2\ virgates which he took from a thegn et posuit intra firtnatn regis in Melecoma. The Exchequer text states that there were 3.^ virgates in Buckland hundred attached to Bingham's Melcombe (no. 30) but according to this account they were held by three thegns T.R.E. and Countess Goda, who held the manor T.R.E., had been responsible for attaching them to Melcombe. In Badbury hundred the king had no geld from 8 hides and 3^ virgates de terra geldanti which had belonged to Aubrey. This land must be part of the manor of Gussage St. Michael in Dorset, which Aubrey de Couci once held and which was in the king's hand in 1086, but in Domesday it is entered not in Dorset but in Wiltshire. In Gillingham hundred there were 2w virgates of exempt demesne belonging to Fulcred, which also 120 DORSET GELD ROLLS appear in the Wiltshire section of Domesday. In Sherborne hundred the king had no geld from a hide and a virgate which Ansger the cook held de dono regis. Xo land an- swering this description is recorded in the Dorset Domesday in 1086, but Ansger the cook held i hide and i virgate in Somerset, attached to the royal manor of Martock. It is not uncommon to find persons mentioned in the Geld Rolls who do not appear in Domesday. In Hasilor hundred Robert fitz Ralph had 2 hides of exempt demesne. He is presumably to be identified with Robert fitz Ralph who held i hide, 2\ virgates, at Grafton (Wilts.) in 1086.^' but he does not appear in the Dorset Domesday. In Whit- church hundred Ulf held i hide and i virgate of William 'the Goat'. William does not appear as a tenant-in-chief in Dorset in 1086, although in Glochresdone hundred he is named as a tenant of Roger Arundel. He had extensive estates in Somerset, where Ulf was his Saxon predecessor on two small manors, but this holding of a hide and a virgate cannot be traced. In Cullifordtree hundred a priest held i hide of Bishop Peter's land, which cannot be traced in the Exchequer text, and there is \ hide of thegnland in the king's farm in Bere hundred which cannot be identified in Domesday. Like Exon. Domesday, the Geld Rolls supply a considerable amount of infor- mation not recorded in the Exchequer text. In Gillingham hundred the Abbess of Preaux had 3^ hides in demesne. She is not mentioned in the Domesday texts, but it seems that Roger de Beaumont gave his manor of Stour Provost (no. 231) to the abbey of St. Leger, Preaux.^- In Puddletown hundred the abbey of Marmoutier had in demesne 5 hides and 3 virgates de terra comitisse de Moritonio. This land was at Piddle- hinton (no. 168) which, according to the Exchequer text, the abbey held of the Count of Mortain. But the charter by which the count gave this land to the abbey shows that the land had belonged to the countess and was given to the abbey on her death. ^^ In Pimperne hundred Humphrey the chamberlain had 5 hides in demesne, of which he had given \ hide to the church. His manor must be Stourpaine (no. 356), but the Exchequer text does not record any gift to the church. In Pimperne hundred, also, the Abbess of Shaftesbun,- is said to have i hide and \ virgate of land. The Exchequer text does not mention this land, but the 1 2th-centur}- survey of the estates of Shaftesburj' Abbey shows that i hide of the manor of Tarrant Hinton (no. 132) lay in Pimperne hundred.3+ In AUezesuode hundred the abbey of St. Stephen, Caen, had i hide which paid geld in another hundred. The Exchequer text does not record any land in Purbeck belonging to this abbey, but the confirmation charter of Henr}- I includes Purbeck as a member of the abbey's manors of Frampton and Bincombe.^s Several persons holding land at farm are mentioned in the Geld Rolls but do not appear in the Domesday text. It is noticeable that Exon. Domesday on three occasions records people holding land at farm who are not mentioned in the Exchequer text and it seems almost as if the Ex- chequer scribe omitted such information as a matter of course, although he included the six men holding Ringstead (no. 463) at farm of Brictuin. All but one of the manors of Humphrey the chamberlain were at farm in the Geld Rolls. The widow holding i hide at farm of Humphrey in Albretesberge hundred is presumably Eddeva, who held Edmondsham (no. 354) of him in 1086, although the Exchequer text does not say she held at farm. In the same hundred an Englishman held i hide at farm of Humphrey, and in Badbun" hundred another Englishman held 3 virgates at farm of him. The manors concerned must be Edmondsham (no. 353) and Hemsworth (no. 355) but no tenants are recorded in Domesday. In Combsditch hundred an Englishman held J.\ hide at farm of Aiulf the chamberlain. This was the hidage of his manor of Blandford " V.CJH. Wilts. 166. » See p. 14111. H. A. Cronne, i, no. 204. " Cal. Doc. France, ed. Round, 435 (dated 1082-4); " B-M- Harl. MS. 61, f. 58.

In Uggescombe hundred a thegn held 2h hides of Aiulf, probably at Tatton (no. 345). In Godderthorn hundred Berenger Giffard had i| hide and ^ virgate which his predecessor held of him at farm. Berenger's only Dorset manor was Bredy (Farm) (no. 317), held T.R.E. by Harding, but he is not recorded as a tenant in 1086. In CuUifordtree hundred William Belet had 1 hide in demesne and a thegn cuius ipsa terra fuerat held 5 virgates of him at farm. The manor in question must be Winterborne Belet (no. 493) which belonged to the hundred at a later date and which was held by two thegns T.R.E. , but Domesday does not mention the tenure of this thegn in 1086. In Cajiendone hundred a thegn held 2 hides and I virgate at farm of the king. This is the hidage of Hampreston (nos. 19 and xxv) which William Belet held of the queen according to Exon. Domesday and which Saul held T.R.E. Neither Exon. Domesday nor the Exchecjuer text mentions the thegn. The Geld Rolls also reveal that Robert de Oilly held at farm the manors of Countess Goda which the king held in 1086. The Geld Rolls also supply surnames for some of the persons mentioned only by their Christian names in the Exchequer text. In Whitchurch hundred William de estra is named as a tenant of the Count of Mortain, with i hide of land, half of which was in the king's farm. His manor can be identified as Cerneli (no. 212), where, according to the Exchequer text, \ hide fuit de dominica firma Cerne T.R.E. In Celeberge hundred Robert fitz Ivo held i virgate which never paid geld, probably Morden (no. 172), and in CuUifordtree hundred the same Robert held i hide of the count, probably part of Stafford (no. 155). In Dorchester hundred Ralph the clerk held 2 hides, i virgate, which must be Cerne (no. 157), the only manor held of the count by a man called Ralph. In Beaminster hundred William Malbank had i virgate of Earl Hugh, which must be at Catsley (no. 229). In Dorchester hundred William Belet had i hide of William of Eu, probably part of Bradford Peverell (no. 257). In Combsditch hundred William de monasterio had 3 virgates of William de Aldrie which never paid geld. William de Aldrie does not appear as a tenant-in-chief in Dorset, but he was the steward of William of Eu and appears as his tenant in Wiltshire. In the Dorset Domes- day WiUiam of Eu held Blandford St. Mary (no. 261), where there was | hide which never paid geld. Despite the difference in hidage this is likely to have been the piece of land mentioned in the Geld Rolls, since it was held of William of Eu by another William, probably either William de Aldrie or William de monasterio. In Glochresdotie hundred William 'the Goat' had 3^ hides of Roger Arundel. The only land held of Roger by a man called William was three hides at Wraxall (nos. 328 and c) and this William can presumably be identified as William 'the Goat'. In Hunesberge hundred Alvred of Epaignes had zh hides of the abbey of Glastonbury, which must be the land held by Alvred at Okeford Fitzpaine (no. 64), although he is said in the Exchequer text to hold 2 not 2-|- hides. This, however, is the only land of the abbey held by a man of this name. In Badbury hundred Hugh Maminot held 4 hides and i virgate of the Bishop of Lisieux (Gilbert Maminot). He is not recorded as the bishop's tenant in the Exchequer text, but it is not unlikely that he did hold of him since several of the bishop's manors went to endow Maminot's daughter. The Geld Rolls are particularly helpful in the identification of the king's thegns since they supply distinguishing names such as 'the huntsman' or 'the reeve'. Edwin the huntsman (venator) had 2 hides and h virgate in demesne in Uggescombe hundred, 3 hides and h virgate in Combsditch hundred, 2 hides and 3 virgates in Langeberge hundred, and 2 hides and one virgate in Pimperne hundred. His manors in these hundreds can be identified as Shilvinghampton (no. 457), the two manors oi Bleneford{e) 122 DORSET GELD ROLLS (nos. 438 and 455), and Lazerton (no. 456) all held by Edwin according to Domesday. Ulviet the huntsman had i hide in demesne in Albretesberge hundred, which may be Wimborne St. Giles (no. 440), held by Ulviet in 1086. Ulvric the huntsman held i virgate in Canendone and i \ hide in Celeberge hundred, where Ulveva had 3 virgates. His manor in Canendone is probably Thorn Hill (no. 442), and the one in Celeberge is probably Morden (no. 437), where his brother's wife, who may be the Ulveva (Wulfgifu) of the Geld Rolls, also held land. The Ulvric who held these two manors can therefore be identified with Ulvric the huntsman who held one hide of the king in an unspecified locality (no. 454). Alvric the huntsman held two hides in Bere hundred, 3 hides and 3 virgates in Aileveswode hundred, and 2 virgates in Hasilor hundred. His manors are probably Wintrebiirne (nos. 430 and 484), Coombe (no. 481), and Blackmanston (nos. 476 and 489). Godric the huntsman had i virgate in Gillingham hundred which must be the virgate in Gillingham (no. 428) held by Godric in 1086. Godric the priest held 4 hides less 10 acres in Bere hundred, probably the manor of Briantspuddle (no. 472). A man called Godric also held Stourton Caundle (no. 478), but it is not known whether he was Godric the priest or Godric the huntsman. Brictuin the reeve (prepositus) had 3 hides in Yetminster hundred, i hide, 3I virgates, in Uggescombe hundred, zh hides in Glochresdone hundred, 3 hides, i virgate, in Celberge hundred, and 2 hides, 3! virgates, in CuUifordtree hundred. These manors can be identified as Melbury Sampford (no. 441), Little Waddon (no. 460), Chilcombe (no. 459), Moreton (no. 461) and Galton (no. 462), and Waia, Wintreburne, and Lewell (nos. 433-5). If these identifications are correct, then the same Brictuin held all these manors, a fact which is not clear from the Exchequer text. Edric the reeve held i hide in demesne in Hasilor hundred, where both Holme (no. 467) and Tyneham (no. 473) seem to lie. Alward the reeve had i hide in demesne in Winfrith hundred where a beadle had i virgate. Alward's manor seems to be Wool (no. 486), one virgate of which (no. 487) was held by Almar, who may be the beadle of the Geld Rolls. Alward Colin(c) had i hide in Combsditch hundred, which was probably part of Thorncombe (no. 439) ; he had held the manor of Langton Herring (nos. 23 and xxix) T.R.E. In Glochresdone hundred two king's almsmen {elemositiarii regis) had \ hide in demesne. It seems likely that the manor of Uploders (no. 475), assessed at \ hide and held by Alvric and Brictric, may have lain in this hundred. They are classed as thegns in the Exchequer text, not as almsmen, but Dodo, who is also classed as a thegn, held h hide (no. 444) in alms of the queen. An unnamed thegn who held \ virgate in Glochresdo?ie hundred may be the same Dodo, who held i virgate at Woolcombe (no. 474) in Glochresdone hundred. In Combsditch hundred John the usher {hostiarius) had i hide and i\ virgate in demesne, which must be at Wintreburne (no. 500), held by a man called John as a king's serjeant. Hervey cubiculariiis , who held Wimborne St. Giles (no. 499) in Albretesberge hundred, is called Hervey earner arius in the Geld Rolls. Similarly Anschitil fitz Ameline, a francus who held Tyneham (no. 369) in Hasilor hundred of the queen, is called Anschitil of Carisbrook (de Carisburgo) in the Geld Rolls. 123 ORDER OF DORSET HUNDREDS I.

YETMINSTER HUNDRED In hundreto Etheministre sunt xl et vii hide et tantum terre habet ibi Saresberiensis episcopus quantum (possunt)^ arare vi carruce. Inde habent barones in dominio vi hidas et i virgam et vi carrucatas. Inde habet episcopus vi carrucatas et Rogerus Arondellus iii hidas et i Airgatam et Bristuinus prcpositus iii hidas et de xl hidis i virga minus habet rex xii libras decem et octo denarios et i obolum minus.

Sed xii solidi prescriptorum denariorum qui deberent esse redditi ad primum terminum non sunt redditi usque ad extremum. In Yetminster hundred there are 47 hides and the Bishop of Salisbury has there as much land as 6 ploughs can plough. Of this the barons have in demesne 6 hides and i virgate and 6 carucates. Of this the bishop has 6 carucates, and Roger Arundel 3 hides and i virgate, and Brictuin the reeve 3 hides. And from 40 hides less i virgate the king has ^i I i8i. 5?.(/.' And from i hide which Urse holds of Ernulf of Hesdin King William never had geld and from i hide which Dodeman holds of the Count of Mortain the king did not have geld this year. But 125. of the aforesaid pence which should have been rendered at the first term were not rendered until the last (term). The Bishop of Salisbury's demesne in this hundred can be identified as the terra vi carucarum que nunquam geldavit T.R.E. at Yetminster (no. 35), which must have been the head of this hundred. It was assessed at 15 hides. Roger Arundel had 3 hides and i virgate in demesne at Melbury Bubb (nos. 323 and xcv), assessed at 6 hides. Brictuin had a manor called Melebcrie (no. 441), assessed at 5 hides, but the extent of ' See O. S. Anderson (afterwards Amgart), Ettg. Hundred-Names: the South-Western Counties, 104-41. ^ In this section interlineations and marginal additions in the Latin te.\t and interpolations in the English trans- lation have been placed in round brackets. 3 At 6s. on the hide, the geld on 39 hides and 3 virgates is £ 1 1 1 8i. 6d. 124 DORSET GELD ROLLS his demesne there is not known. Urse held 2 manors of Ernulf of Hesdin, i of which was called Melesberie (no. 246), and I of the manors held by Dodeman of the Count of Mortain was called Melesberie (no. 183). The manor of Urse was assessed at 40 hides and the manor of Dodeman at 2J hides. Eyton identified Brictuin's manor as Melbury Sampford and the manors of Dodeman and Urse as Melbury Osmond. In 1316 Wool- combe, held by John Mautravers, and Ryme, with Clifton and Trill, held by Humphrey de Bello Campo and Philip Maubank, lay in the hundred of Yetminster.* In 1086 Woolcombe (no. 262) was held by Hugh of William of Eu and Clifton Maybank, with 3 hides in Trill, was held by William (Malbank) of Hugh, Earl of Chester. Woolcombe was assessed at 5 hides, and Clifton Maybank (no. 225) at 6 hides. This gives a total of 47 hides, 6 carucates, the figure given in the Geld Roll.

Similiter fecit Turstinus filius Rolfi de vii virgis quas ipse habet in hoc hundreto. Et de denariis qui redditi sunt in hoc hundreto non sunt redditi xii solidi usque ad extremum terminum qui deberent esse redditi ad primum. In Whitchurch hundred there are 84.' hides and i virgate besides the king's farm. Of this the king's barons have in demesne 21 hides and .\ virgate. The Abbot of Cerne has of this 5 hides. Hunger fitz Odin 8 hides, and Edric 3.' hides and .' virgate, and William Belet 3 virgates in demesne. The Abbot of Abbotsbury has i hide in demesne, and Fulcred 7 virgates in demesne. And from 49 hides less i| virgate the king has £1^ ijs. lold.^ And from 5! hides of geldable land which Hunger fitz Odin has (the villeins hold these) the king did not have geld and from 3 hides which the Abbot of Cerne holds (the villeins hold these) the king did not have geld and from I hide which BoUo the priest holds of the Abbot of Cerne the king did not have geld. From i hide which William de estra holds of the Count of Mortain (half this hide belongs to the king's farm) the king never had geld. From .' hide which Bretel holds of the Count of Mortain the king never had geld and from i hide and i virgate which Ulf holds of William 'the Goat' the king never had geld and from 1 2 hide which Hugh holds of Aiulf the king did not have geld this year. And the Abbot of Abbots- bury was quit in another hundred for 3' hides of land which he himself has in this hundred. Turstin fitz Rolf did likewise for 7 virgates which he himself has in this hundred. And of the pence which were rendered in this hundred 12s. were not rendered until the last term which should have been rendered at the first (term). The Abbot of Cerne had 5 hides in demesne at Symondsbury (nos. 92 and Iv), assessed at 19 hides. Hunger fitz Odin had only i manor, Broadwindsor (no. 505), assessed at 20 hides. Edric held several small manors as a tainus, and one of them, Pilsdon (no. 470), lay in Whitchurch hundred in 1303.* It was assessed at 3 hides, and even if he held it all in demesne it is not large enough to account for all his exempt demesne in this hundred. Another of his manors, Stodlei;c (no. 471), assessed at i virgate, was identified by Fiigersten as Studley, in Whitchurch Canonicorum, the site of which is now lost. Fagersten also suggested that Slillege (no. 469), assessed at 2 hides and also held by Edric, was a corrupt form referring to the same place. ^ The manor of William Belet is probably Lyme Regis (no. 504), which lay in Whitchurch hundred in 1212.* Lyme Regis was a divided vill, the other portions being held by Ulviet of Glastonbury Abbey (no. 68), and by the Bishop of Salisbury (no. 36). William Belet's portion was assessed at i hide, Ulviet's portion at 3 hides,' and the Bishop of Salisbury's portion was not assessed in hides and had never paid geld. The Abbot of Abbotsbury had i hide in demesne at Abbott's Wootton (nos. 114 and Ixi). It was assessed at 2% hides. His manor of Atrim (nos. 116 and Ixiii), assessed at 2 hides, was held of the abbey by Bollo the priest and a widow, and it was probably this manor, with the geldable portion of Abbott's Wootton, which paid geld in another hundred. The account of Uggescombe hundred shows that it was there that these 3' hides, had paid geld. The land of Turstin fitz Rolf paid geld in Godderthorn hundred and consisted of his 2 manors of Stoke Wallis (no. 254) and Thurstanshay (no. 255), assessed at i hide and 3 virgates, the figure ■• Feud. Aids, ii. 41. 5 At 6s. on the hide, the geld from 47 hides and 2| virgates is £14 6s., not £n 17s. lald. ' Feud. Aids, ii. 38. ' A. Fagersten, The Place-Names of Dorset, 2g8. * Bk. of Fees, 94. ' Later evidence shows Ulviet's manor to be Colway in Lyme Regis: see p. 56. 125 A HISTORY OF DORSET given in the Geld Roll. Fulcred held only 2 manors, Waia (no. 364), which probably belongs to Cullifordtree hundred, and Moorbath (no. 365), assessed at 2 hides, which is presumably in Whitchurch hundred. Bollo the priest is not recorded in the Domesdav survey as a tenant of the Abbot of Cerne in Dorset. It is possible that he held part of Symondsbury. Hugh is not recorded as a tenant of Aiulf, but Aiulf 's manor in this hundred is likely to have been Wootton Fitzpaine (no. 347),'" assessed at 12 hides, with 4 carucates in demesne. Bretel held 2 manors in Wootton Fitzpaine of the Count of Mortain (nos. 211, 217), assessed at 2 hides and i, hide respectively. William, who is probably identical with William de estra, held Cerneli (no. 212), identified by Eyton as Catherston Leweston, where there was .' hide que fuit de dominica firma CERNE T.R.E. The king had no land at Cerne in 1086, but there seems to be no other manor of the Count of Mortain where there was \ hide de firma regis. The manor was assessed at 3?. hides. William 'the Goat' is not recorded as a tenant-in-chief in Dorset in 1086, although he appears elsewhere in the Geld Rolls as a tenant of Roger Arundel. According to Exon. Domesday Alsemiiiistre, in Devon, was held of William 'the Goat' by Ulf ; the Exchequer text gives the man's name as Eddulf, and tiie manor was assessed at I virgate." This piece of land can scarcely be identical with the i J hide mentioned in the Geld Roll for Whitchurch, and the matter must remain unsolved. This hundred cannot be properly reconstructed. The manors enumerated above as likelv to belong here amount to 74^ hides. Later evidence suggests that some other manors lay in Whitchurch hundred at this date. In 1212 the hundred included Charmouth'^ which in 1086 was held by Robert of the Count of Mortain (no. 215) and was assessed at 3 hides. In 1316 Stockland, belonging to Milton Abbey, Brigstoke, and Stanton belonged to the hundred. '■' In 1086 Hervey fitz Ansger held Stockland (Devon) (nos. 106 and Ixxx) of the abbey and it was assessed at 10 hides. Brigstoke is probably Burstock (no. 230) which William (.Malbank) held of Earl Hugh in 1086, when it was assessed at 3 hides. Stantone (no. 210)''' was held in 1086 by MxTtd. pincerna of the Count of Mortain. It was assessed at I hide with land for 6 ploughs. This brings the hidage of the hundred up to 91 hides, instead of 84 hides, 3 virgates. III. UGGESCOMBE HUNDRED In Oglescumbe hundret sunt c hide et iiii.

The Abbot of Abbotsbury's 13 hides in this hundred must be the combined demesnes of Abbotsbury (nos. 109 and Iviii) and Portesham (nos. 112 and lix), assessed at 22 hides and 13 hides respectively. The manor of Cerne Abbey in this hundred is probably Littlebredy (nos. 85 and xlviii), which lay in this hundred in 1285,'* although Exon. Domesday and the Exchequer text give the demesne as 5 hides, not 4 hides. It was assessed at 11 hides. Hugh de Boscherbert had only 2 manors, and since Ceriiel (no. 360) is too small to account for his exempt demesne the unnamed manor held by 2 brothers T.R.E. (no. 361) must belong here. It was assessed at 10 hides. The Abbess of Montevilliers had only i manor. Friar Waddon (no. 143), assessed at 6 hides, which was the gift of Hugh fitz Grip. Brictuin the reeve's manor is probably Little Waddon (no. 460), given him by Hugh fitz Grip in exchange for a manor worth twice as much. Langton Herring (nos. 23 and xxix), belonging to Queen Maud, was assessed at i.\ hide, and probably '" R. W. Eyton (Key to Domesday: Dorset, 142) identifies St. Gabriel, this manor as Marshwood, but Fa^ersten (op. cit. 298) '^ The geld on 64 hides is £19 4s.. with in addition the identifies it as Wootton Fitzpaine. 3J. 6d. super numerum.

Part of Langton Herring (nos. 406 and cxxxix) was held by the wife of Hugh fitz Grip. It was assessed at i .1 hide with 3 virgates in demesne. The rest of her demesne in this hundred probably lay at Tatton (nos. 398 and cxxxi), assessed at 2 hides. The other portion of Tatton was held by Aiulf the chamberlain (no. 345). It was assessed at 3 hides and was held by i thegn of Cerne Abbey T.R.E. This thegn may be the one who holds of Aiulf in the Geld Rolls. The manor of Edwin the huntsman is probably Shilvinghampton (no. 457), which lay in this hundred in 1285. '^ It was a divided vill in 1086, the other portions being held by the Count of Mortain (no. 216), which would account for his demesne in this hundred, and by the abbey of Abbotsbury (nos. 113 and Ix). Edwin's manor was assessed at 2^ hides, the count's at i hide and i virgate (the amount of his exempt demesne), and Abbotsbury Abbey's manor, held of the abbey by BoUo the priest, at i hide and i virgate. BoUo's demesne in this manor is probably the land attached to the church of Fleet which he held (nos. 145b and xix). Fleet itself (nos. 1 1 and vii), which had belonged to Earl Harold, belonged to this hundred in 1212'* and probably represents Earl Harold's land in this hundred, although Exon. Domesday and the Exchequer text give the demesne as 3.' not 3 hides. Exon. Domesday shows that Fulcred held the manor of Harold. This brings the hidage to 82I hides. In addition Elworth (no. 268) can be added to the hundred. In 1086 it was held by Ansfrid of William of Eu. In 1 212 it lay in Uggescombe hundred, and belonged to the honor of Strigoil (later Chepstow)." In 1285 Puncknowle, Corton, and Bexington lay in this hundred. ^o In 1086 Puncknowle (nos. 397 and cxxx), assessed at 5 hides, was held by William de monasterio of the wife of Hugh fitz Grip. Corton (no. 238) was held by Vitalis of Roger de Courseulles, and Bexington (nos. 326 and xcviii) was held by Roger Arundel, although it is difficult to see why his demesne of 4 hides and I virgate was omitted from the Geld Roll. This brings the total hidage of the hundred to 104 hides, the Geld Roll total. IV. EGGARDON HUNDRED [f.i8] In Glochresdone hundreto sunt Ix et vi hide et In Eggardon hundred there are 66| hides.

In 1285 the Abbot of Cerne had 4 manors in this hundred, Winterbourne Abbas, Long Bredy, Nettle- combe with Mappercombe, and Milton. -^ In 1086 Winterbourne Abbas (nos. 86 and xlix) was assessed at 10 hides, with 5 hides in demesne; Long Bredy (nos. 87 and 1) was assessed at 9 hides, with 3 hides in demesne; Nettlecombe (nos. 88 and Ii) was assessed at 5 hides with li hide and '> virgate in demesne, and West Milton (nos. 89 and Iii) was assessed at 4 hides with 2 hides in demesne. This brings the demesne of Cerne Abbey in this hundred to 1 1 hides, 2.' virgates. In 1285, also, Roger Arundel's heirs held some manors in this hundred, including Powerstock (nos. 327 and xcix) and Wraxall (nos. 328 and c).^"* Both manors were subinfeudated in 1086. Part of Wraxall was held of Roger by a man called William, who may be identical with William 'the Goat', although he held only 3 not 3.' hides. Powerstock was assessed at 6 hides and Wrax- all at 10 hides. The manor of Chilcombe (no. 459), which lay in this hundred in 1285,-' was held by Brictuin the reeve in 1086 and probably represents his exempt demesne here; it was assessed at 3 hides. Hugh Gosbert held the manor of Woolcombe (Farm) (no. 498), assessed at 3 virgates, the amount of his exempt demesne in the hundred. It was held T.R.E. by Dode the monk. In 1086 i virgate in the same vill (no. 474) was held by Dodo, a king's thegn, who is probably the unnamed thegn with .' virgate. The Count of Mortain held 2 manors assessed at i.\ hide, Brockhampton Green (no. 195) and Uploders (no. 206). Half a hide in Uploders (no. 475) was held in 1086 by Alvric and Brictric, 2 king's thegns. It is possible that they are the almsmen mentioned in the Geld Roll. Dodo held J hide in an unidentified locality of the king in 1086 (no. 444) and had held of the queen in alms. If Uploders is the almsmen's manor, then the count's manor is presumably Uploders also.^^ " Ibid. collectors received 12s. (2 hides) for land in another " Bk. of Fees, 93. hundred and 6s.

Since the ^' See p. 13 in. 127 A HISTORY OF DORSET This brings the hidage of the hundred to 50 hides. Later evidence suggests that Hooke (no. 207), Askerswell (nos. 1 19 and Ixv), and Kingcombe (nos. 247, 485) lay in this hundred in 1086. They certainly lay herein 1285.^' In 1086 Hooke, assessed at 2 hides, was held by William of the Count of Mortain ; Askerswell, assessed at 3 hides, belonged to Tavistock Abbey, and Kingcombe was a divided vill, 3|- virgates being held by Ernulf of Hesdin and i hide and | virgate by lothegns. There remain lol hides to complete the hundred. Eyton supplied the deficiency in his table by postulating that the manor of Stapleford, which lay in the hundred in 1285,-^ when it was held by the heirs of Roger Arundel, was omitted from the Domesday survey and is to be identified as the manor held of Roger by William 'the Goat'.-'' He calculated its size as 6 hides, I virgate, and 3 acres, the amount necessary in his table to produce a total of 66' hides. This is certainly a convenient way out of the difficulty. V. ALBRETESBERGE HUNDRED In Albretesberge hundret sunt xl(v)ii hide. De his In ^/6re?«6CT'|'e hundred there are 47 hides.

The manor of Queen Maud in this hundred is probably Cranborne (nos. 16 and xxii), assessed at 10 hides, since Albretesberge was later absorbed into Cranborne hundred. Both Exon. Domesday and the Exchequer text give the demesne as 3! hides, and state that 3 thegns held 3 hides. The Abbot of Cranborne had 20 hides in demesne at Boveridge (no. 71), assessed at 5 hides. Hervey the chamberlain's only manor in Dorset was Wimborne St. Giles (no. 499), assessed at 2' hides. The Count of Mortain had a manor, assessed at i\ hide, called Brochemtiine (no. 195), which Eyton identified with Brockhampton Green, now in Buckland Newton. Fiigersten, however, identified it with Brockington Farm, in Knowlton hundred. ^- Ulviet the huntsman's manor is probably Wimborne St. Giles (no. 440), assessed at i hide, the amount of his exempt demesne. Schelin held Edmondsham (nos. 18 and xxiv) of the queen. There was i hide in demesne. Part of Edmondsham (no. 353) was held by Humphrey the chamberlain. Dodo held it T.R.E. and is presumably identical with the Dodo who held Schelin's manor also. He may be the thegn mentioned in the Geld Roll as holding of Humphrey at farm. The other portion of Edmondsham (no. 354) was held of Humphrey by Eddeva, who is probably to be identified as the widow holding of Humphrey in the Geld Rolls. Schelin's manor was assessed at 2 hides; Humphrey's manors were each assessed at li hide. The manor which Wulfweard White held of Glastonbury x\bbey was Pentridge (no. 67) which King William held in 1086. It was assessed at 6 hides. Woodyates (no. 66), another manor of the abbey, assessed at 4 hides, probably lay in this hundred in 1086. In the 13th century it was part of Upwimborne hundred, which was formed from part of Albretesberge hundred.'-' Eyton added to this hundred the manors of Leftisford and Langford (nos. 73, 74) belonging to Cranborne Abbey. Fiigersten identified Leftisford as a place, now lost, in Cranborne, but Langford as Langford Farm in Stratton, in the hundred of St. George.-'^ Of the many manors called Winburne, those belonging to Cranborne Abbey (no. 72) and held by William of the wife of Hugh (nos. 388 and cxx) were placed here by Eyton. Leftisford and Langford were assessed at i hide each, and the manors of Winburne were assessed at 5 hides (no. 72) and i hide (nos. 388 and cxx). Five hides remain. Eyton placed the land in 3 places held by Hugh de Lure (no. 362) in this hundred, but gave no authority for so doing.-is It was assessed at 5 hides. VI.

From 8 hides and 3,1 virgates of geldable land which Aubrey held the king did not have geld and from 4 hides and i virgate which Hugh Maminot holds of the Bishop of Lisieux the king did not have geld and from 3 virgates which i Englishman holds at farm of Humphrey the chamberlain the king did not have geld and from § hide which Schelin holds the king never had geld and from J hide which Picot holds of the Count of Mortain the king never had geld. From the aforesaid hundred the king had 64.S. for 1O2 hides and J virgate, at 2 terms. ^^ The manor of Aiulf in this hundred is probably Selavestune (no. 339), since it is the only manor large enough to cover his demesne which cannot be assigned to any other hundred. It was assessed at 4 hides and \\ virgate. The manor of Schelin must be Witchampton (nos. 20 and xxvi), assessed at 4 hides, 25 virgates, which he held of the queen. The demesne in the Exchequer text and Exon. Domesday is 2 hides, if virgate, not I hide, 3 virgates, but Exon. Domesday states that Schelin tiunquam reddebat gildum de duahus partibus unius hide, the 2% virgates which never paid geld in the Geld Roll. Another part of Witchampton (no. 188) was held by Hubert of the Count of Mortam. It was assessed at 2 hides, i 3 virgate, and there was \ hide (i J virgate) de qua nunquam dedit geldum. This identifies Witchampton as the manor held of the Count of Mortain, though in the Geld Roll Picot, and not Hubert, was his tenant. The Bishop of London's only manor was Odeham (no. 62), assessed at ' hide. This is not large enough to account for his exempt demesne in this hundred. The only other land which he held in Dorset in 1086 was i hide, 2\ virgates, at Hinton Martell (no. 31). Hinton lay in Canendone hundred, which was later amalgamated with Badbury, so it is possible that the bishop's land, which belonged to the church of Wimborne Minster, was in Badbury hundred. The king held I hide in Wimborne (nos. 21 and xxvii) which never paid geld, though it was not part of the farm of Wim- borne. There was i virgate in demesne according to Exon. Domesday and the Exchequer text. Godwin the huntsman's demesne is probably the unnamed l virgate and 4 acres (no. 451). The land of Aubrey must be the manor of Gussage in Dorset, which had once belonged to Aubrey de Couci, sometime Earl of North- umbria. In 1086 it was held by the king, and was entered in the Wiltshire survey with Earl Aubrey's manors in that county. It was assessed at 10 hides. This is Gussage St. Michael, Gussage All Saints (no. 192) being held by the Count of Mortain. Hugh Maminot is not recorded in Domesday as a tenant of the Bishop of Lisieux in Dorset, but the bishop's manors of Tarrant Crawford and Preston (nos. 58, 59), assessed at 5 hides and i hide respectively, may belong to this hundred, since his 2 other manors of Tarrant Keyneston and Coombe Keynes (nos. 60, 61), which were the dowry of Hugh Maminot's daughter, lay in Langeberge and Winfrith hundreds respectively. No Englishman is recorded as the tenant of Humphrey the chamberlain either, but his manor of Hemsworth (no. 355) was held T.R.E. by i free thegn. This man may still have been holding of Humphrey at farm in 1084. Part of Hemsworth (no. 187) was held by Hubert of the Count of Mortain. It was assessed at i hide and Humphrey's manor at i hide also. This brings the total hidage to 32 hides and i virgate, the Geld Roll figure. VII. CANENDONE HUNDRED In Canendone hundret sunt xlviii hide et iii virge. Inde habent barones regis in dominio xxii hidas et ii partes (unius virge).

" The total of exempt demesne in this hundred is given as 22 hides and § virgate; in fact it amounts to 20 hides, In Canendone hundred there are 48 hides and 3 virgates. Thence the king's barons have in demesne 22 hides and § virgate. Of this demesne the Abbot of Horton has 4 hides, and the Abbess of Wilton 2 hides and 3 virgates, and the king 6 hides and i virgate of Goda's land. Iseldis !, hide.

And from 2 hides and i virgate which i thegn holds at farm of the king the king did not have geld and from 5 hides of Goda's land which Robert de Oilly holds at farm of the king the king had geld after Easter. From the aforesaid hundred the king had ^6 loj. id. Excepting 5 hides from which he had 30^. after Easter." if virgate (J hide). The amount of geld received, £6 los. id., is the geld on 21 § hides; if the hundred consisted of 48 hides and 3 virgates, there should be 21 hides and J virgate which paid geld. 129 A HISTORY OF DORSET The abbey of Horton had only i manor in Dorset, Horton itself (no. 1 17), assessed at 7 hides. According to the Exchequer Domesday there were 2 not 4 hides in demesne. The Abbess of Wilton had 2 hides and 3 virgates in demesne at Didlington (no. 139), assessed at 6 hides, and the king had 6 hides and i virgate in demesne at Countess Goda's manor of Hinton Martell (no. 31), assessed at 14 hides and i virgate. Iseldis held only i manor. Petersham (no. 424), assessed at i hide; another manor in the same vill (no. 375) was held by Odo fitz Eurebold. It was assessed at 3 virgates. Ulvric the huntsman's manor must be Thorn Hill (no. 442) which lay in this hundred in 1212.''* It was assessed at .' hide. Dodo held Wilksworth (no. 445), assessed at i hide, and .1 hide in an unspecified locality (no. 444), which he held in alms of the queen. It may have been part of Wilksworth. Another part of Wilksworth (no. 447) was held bv Ailrun, and Alward held ^ virgate (no. 446) which may lie in the same vill since it is entered between Dodo's manor of Wilksworth and that of Ailrun. Ailrun's manor was assessed at i hide. Godwin held 3 manors, of which Walford (no. 448) seems most likely to belong here. Corscombe (no. 488) must have lain in Beaminster hundred, and the third manor (no. 451), which was unnamed, is too small to account for his exempt demesne. Aiulf's manor is probably Hampreston (no. 33S), assessed at 6 hides. Part of this manor (nos. 19 and xxv) be- longed to the king in succession to Queen I\Iaud. It was assessed at 2 hides, i virgate, which is the amount of land held of the king at farm by a thegn, which had not paid geld. According to Exon. Domesday William Belet had held it of the queen. The queen gave 3J virgates in the same vill (no. 443) to Schelin, but in 1086 Torchil held it of the king. One hide in the same vill (nos. 389 and cxxi) was held by William Chernet of the wife of Hugh fitz Grip. Ralph of Cranborne held the manor of West Parley (no. 371), assessed at 2 hides, and the Count of IMortain's manor seems to be Mannington, in Holt (no. 186), not far from Petersham. This brings the total hidage to 47 hides and f virgate. E}ton placed the manor of Dudsbun,' (no. 306) in West Parley in this hundred, which seems reasonable on geographical grounds, although, as usual, he gives no authority. It was assessed at i hide. In 1285 Leigh lay in the hundred of Badbury^ which included CanendoneJ^ It was held by Robert fitz Gerold in 1086 (no. 240) and was assessed at i hide. VIII.

And from i hide of Harold's land the king did not Et de i hida de terra Heroldi non habuit rex geldum. have geld. Earl Harold's land in this hundred must include Puddletown itself (nos. 8 and ii), the head of the hundred, to which was attached the third penny of the whole shire. It was assessed at I hide with land for 15 ploughs. The manor of Little Puddle (nos. 14 and iii) was held bv Earl Harold's mother T.R.E. It was assessed at 5 hides with 2.' hides in demesne. None of his other manors can be assigned to this hundred, but according to the geld account he held at least 6 hides and i virgate here. The Abbot of Marmoutier had only i manor, Piddlehinton (no. 168), assessed at 10 hides. He held it of the Count of Mortain in 1086, and the demesne consisted of 5 hides. A charter of King William granting Piddlehinton to the abbey gives the demesne as 6 hides and states that the manor had belonged to Maud, Countess of Mortain, and on her death was given to the abbey by her husband and brother-in-law for the sake of her soul.'" Serle of Burcy had 6 hides and i virgate in demesne at Waterston [Pidere or Pidra) (nos. 334 and cvi), assessed at 10 hides. The Abbot of Milton had 2\ hides in demesne at Burleston (nos. 97 and Ixx), assessed at 3 hides, and Little Puddle (nos. 107 and Ixxxi), assessed at 2 hides. The abbey of Abbotsbury had 8 hides in demesne at Tolpuddle (nos. no and hi). Matthew de Moretania's manor in this hundred must be Milborne St. Andrew (no. 320), assessed at 5 hides, since his other manor, Owermoigne (no. 321), was in Celberge hundred. Count Alan had only i manor, Dewlish (no. 148), assessed at 15 hides with 5 hides in demesne. Little Puddle (nos. 77 and xl), assessed at 3.2 hides, must belong to this hundred. It was held of Cerne Abbey by William de monasterio. The 2 manors of Pidele (nos. 169, 170), held by Humphrey of the Count of Mortain and assessed at I.' hide and 2', hides respectively, must belong here. Athelhampton (no. 52), assessed at 4 hides, and Bardolfeston (no. 51), assessed at 4 hides, must also have lain in the hundred. They were held by Otbold and the wife of Hugh of the Bishop of Salisbury, and belonged to the hundred in 1285.-'- In 1285, also. Little Cheselbourne or Cheselbourne Ford lay in the hundred. In 1086 it was held by Roger Boissell of the wife of Hugh fitz Grip (nos. 378 and ex). In 1431 Tincleton lay in the hundred ;•'■' in 1086 it was assessed at 2 hides 5" Bk. of Fees, 88. ■" Cal. Doc.

This would bring the total hidage to 90 hides, as opposed to 91 hides in the Geld Rolls, but the matter of Earl Harold's land remains unsolved. IX.

The abbey of Winchester, that is, the New Minster (Hyde Abbey), held only i manor in Dorset, Piddletrenthide (no. 69), assessed at 30 hides with 15 hides, 2! virgates, in demesne. Brictuin held 4 hides of thegnland of the abbey of Cerne at Cerne Abbas itself (nos. 76 and xxxix), assessed at 22 hides, but accord- ing to both Exon. Domesday and the Exchequer text the abbot's demesne was 3 hides, not i hide, 3 virgates. This hundred is very difficult to reconstruct. Eyton placed in it Alton Pancras (no. 33), assessed at 6 hides.^s The manor lay in Sherborne hundred in 1285,''^ presumably because it belonged to the Bishop of Salisbury; it must have been an outlying portion of the hundred, and it was later a liberty.-" Up Cerne (no. 34), held by Robert of the same bishop in 1086, also lay in Sherborne hundred in 1285. Eyton also identified Cernel (no. 147) as Godmanston, and placed it at this date in Modbury hundred,-*' with which Stane hundred was incorporated. Up Cerne was assessed at 2'. hides and Cernel at 3 hides. If both are included in Stane hundred they bring the total hidage to 63., hides, the total given in the Geld Roll. X. GODDERTHORN HUNDRED In Goderonestona hundret sunt xx et viii hide et In Godderthorn hundred there are 280 hides. Of dimidia. Inde habent barones regis in dominio iii this the king's barons have in demesne 3 hides and i hidas et i virgam. De isto dominicatu habet Willel- virgate. Of this demesne William de Dalmar has i mus de Dalmereio i hidam et ii partes unius virge et hide and § virgate, and Berenger Giffard i\ hide and Berengerius Giffardus i hidam et dimidiam et ^ virgate (Berenger's predecessor holds this of him at terciam partem unius virge (hanc tenet antecessor farm), and the Count of Mortain I hide. And for Berengerii de eo ad firmam) et comes de Moritonio 25 hides and i virgate and for 7 virgates of Turstin dimidiam hidam. Et pro xxv hidis et i virga et pro vii fitz Rolf which lie in another hundred the king has virgis Turstini filii Rolfi que iacent in alio hundreto ^8 is. 6d.*'' habet rex octo libras et x et viii denarios. William de Dalmar's manor in this hundred must be Walditch (no. 501) which lay in this hundred in 1212.50 It was assessed at 2 hides. Berenger Giffard's only manor in Dorset was Bredy (Farm) (no. 317), assessed at 4 hides, where his predecessor was Harding. In 1285 Loders Lutton (later called Matravers, in Loders) de feudo de Mortoyne belonged to the hundred. The Count of Mortain's manor is therefore presumably Lodre (no. 190), assessed at i hide, of which the count held half and Alvred half. Another manor in Lodre (no. 189) was held of the count by Girard; it was assessed at i hide. Lodram (nos. 399 and cxxxii), assessed at i hide, which Walter Tonitruus held of the wife of Hugh fitz Grip, may belong here also, since in 1285 Giles Tonerre held part of Loders Lutton. s" All these manors must be part of Matravers. 5^ Sturthill (nos. 394 and cxxvii), which William de Dalmar held of the wife of Hugh fitz Grip, belonged to the hundred in 1212,5^ and Graston (nos. 395 and cxxviii), also held of the wife of Hugh by a man called William, lay in the hundred in 1285.5-' It was assessed at 2\ hides. The land of Turstin fitz Rolf in another hundred was his 2 manors of Stoke Wallis and Thurstanstay (nos. 254, 255) in Whitchurch hundred. Turstin's manor of Allington (no. 253), assessed at 3 hides, lay in Godderthorn hundred in 1285,5s and the other manors probably paid geld here because of this. This brings the total hidage of the hundred to 190 hides. Eyton added the manor of Swyre (no. 263), assessed at g hides. In 1275 it lay in Uggescombe hundred which was at one time amalgamated with Godderthorn. 5* " Kyton, Key to Domesday. Dorset, 135-6. *^ See Fagersten, op. cit. 258.

Apart from the above- dictis denariis restant XV solidi de terra Heroldi que mentioned pence, there remain 15^. of Harold's est terra villanorum. land, which is villein land. The manor of Countess Goda must be Bingham's Melcombe (no. 30) since Hinton Martell is accounted for. It was assessed at 10 hides with 7 hides and 3 virgates in demesne. Ibberton (nos. 10 and v), which belonged to Earl Harold, had 2' hides in demesne and 2' hides held by the villani, which the Geld Roll says did not pay geld. The Abbot of Abbotsbun,- had 9 hides and i virgate in demesne at Hilton (nos. i ii and Ivii), assessed at 18 hides. Two manors of the Abbess of Shaftesbur\' lay in the hundred in 1285, Cheselbourne and Stoke Wake.s* In 1086 Cheselbourne (no. 138) was assessed at 16 hides with 2 hides and 3 virgates in demesne, and Stoke Wake (no. 136) was assessed at 5 hides with 3 hides and i virgate in demesne. Milton Abbas (nos. 94 and Ixxiv) belonged to this hundred in 1212, and Woolland (nos. 102 and Ixxvi) in 1285.5' IMilton Abbas was assessed at 24 hides with 9 hides and 3 virgates in demesne and Woolland at 5 hides with 2 hides in demesne. There remain i hide and 3 virgates of exempt demesne, possibly at Lyscombe (nos. loi and Ixxv), assessed at 3 hides with 2 hides in demesne. This brings the total hidage to 86 hides. XII. BEAMINSTER HUNDRED In Beieministre hundret sunt c hide et vi i virgata In Beaminster hundred there are 106 hides less i minus. De his habent barones regis in dominio viiii virgate. Of these the king's barons have in demesne hidas i virgam (minus). De isto dominicatu habet 9 hides less i virgate. Of this demesne the Bishop of episcopus Saresberiensis habet {sic) v hidas i virga SalisbuPi' has 5 hides less i virgate which are for the minus que sunt de victu monacorum et Ricardus de food of the monks, and Richard de Redvers 2^ Reveris iii hidas et dimidiam et Godwinus dimidiam hides, and Godwin h hide.

Et the king never had geld. And for 92J hides the king pro Ixxxxii hidis et dimidia habet rex xxvii libras et had £2j i^s. 2dfi'^ Tix soUdos et ii denarios. Beaminster (no. 46), belonging to the Bishop of Salisbun,-, must lie in this hundred. It was assessed at 16 hides, I virgate, with a demesne of 2 carucates. The 4 hides and 3 virgates of the bishop's exempt demesne are at Corscombe (no. 44), assessed at 9 hides, 3 virgates. Godwin also held part of Corscombe (no. 488), assessed at i hide, which must cover his exempt demesne in this hundred, and William held another manor called Corscombe (no. 213) of the Count of Mortain, assessed at i hide. The only manor of Richard de Rivers in Dorset was Mosterton (no. 366), assessed at 6 hides. Hunger fitz Odin's manor in this hundred must be his holding of i hide (no. 506), which presumably paid geld in Whitchurch hundred, along with Broadwindsor (no. 505) to which it was attached. William of Moyon held part of Little Windsor (nos. 282 and xcii), assessed at 4 hides. Aiulf is not recorded as a tenant of the Bishop of Salisbur\- in the Domesday survey. Drew held Toller Whelme (no. 214) of the Count of Mortain; it was assessed at 3 hides. Catsley (no. 229), assessed at i hide and i virgate, was held by William of Earl Hugh. There was i virgate de qua celatum est geldum T.R.W. In 1285 Chardstock, Netherbun,', and Buckham, belonging to the Bishop of Salisbury', and Stoke Abbott, belonging to Sherborne .A.bbey, lay in this hundred.*' In 1086 Chardstock (no. 49) was assessed at 12 hides and Xetherburv' (no. 47) at 20 hides with 2 carucates in demesne. Chard- stock was subinfeudated, being held by Walter and William. Stoke Abbott (no. 45) was assessed at b\ hides, with 2 carucates in demesne, and Buckham (no. 54) was assessed at 3 hides and was held by Walter of the bishop. In 13 16 Bowood (no. 53), belonging to the Bishop of Salisburv', lay in this hundred,'- which in 1086 was assessed at 6 hides and held by Godfrey, Osmar, and Elfric. In 1346 the hundred of Redhone, an " In fact the demesnes add up to 38 hides and 3 " Bk. of Fees, 90; Feud. Aids, ii. 13. virgates; for a comment on this discrepancv, see p. 115 n.

" Ibid. 41. 132 DORSET GELD ROLLS offshoot of Beaminster, contained South Perrott, then held by Joan Maubank, and North and South Mapperton.*^ In 1086 WilHam (Malbank) held South Perrott (no. 228) of Earl Hugh; it was assessed at 5 hides. Part of Mapperton (no. 248) was held by Ernulf of Hesdin and another part by William of Moyon (nos. 283 and xciii). William of Moyon had 3 hides in demesne, which the Geld Rolls do not mention. His portion of the vill was assessed at 5 hides and i virgate, and that of Ernulf at 3 hides and 3 virgates. This brings the total hidage of the hundred to 104 hides and 3 virgates. Eyton suggested that the hide in Wool attached to the manor of Buckham (no. 54) may have been counted as an outlying portion of Beaminster hundred,** which, if correct, would bring the total hidage to the Geld Roll figure of 105 hides and 3 virgates. XIIL REDHONE HUNDRED In Redehane hundret sunt vii hide. Pro iiii hidis et In Redhone hundred there are 7 hides. For 4 hides virga et dimidia habet rex xxvi solidos et vi denarios and 1 1 virgate the king has 26s. 6(/.*5 And for 2* et de ii hidis et dimidia reddidit abbas de Tavestot hides the Abbot of Tavistock paid geld in another geldum in alio hundreto.

The abbey of Tavistock had 2 manors in Dorset in 1086, Askerswell (nos. 119 and Ixv) and North Poorton (nos. 120 and Ixvi). Askerswell was assessed at 3 hides, and North Poorton at 2 hides. In 1285 Askerswell lay in the hundred of Eggardon (formerly Glochresdone). In the Geld Roll for that hundred it is stated that the collectors received 12s. pro terra alterius hundreti, that is, the geld on 2 hides. This must be the land of the abbey of Tavistock which paid geld in another hundred, but, according to the account of Redhone, the amount of land in question was z\ not 2 hides. North Poorton, assessed at 2 hides, must lie in Redhone, but is not large enough to account for all the abbot's land in this hundred, amounting to 2.' hides. The Abbot of Abbotsbury's manor is probably Bourtone (nos. 115 and Ixii), assessed at j hide and held by 2 villani. It paid geld in Uggescombe hundred, with Atrim, which the abbot had in Whitchurch hundred. Eyton identified Bourtone as Burcombe in North Poorton, but Fiigersten regarded it as another form of Poorton.** Both Roger Arundel and Ernulf of Hesdin held manors in North Poorton in 1086. Roger's manor (nos. 329 and ci), assessed at 2 hides, was held of him by Wido, and Ernulf's manor (no. 249), assessed at \ hide, was apparently held by Ernulf himself. Another part of North Poorton (no. 368), assessed at I hide and 2| virgates, was held by Godeschal of David the interpreter. This hundred cannot be satis- factorily reconstructed. XIV. TOLLERFORD HUNDRED [f. 20] In Tolreforde hundret sunt lix hide. De his habent In ToUerford hundred there are 59 hides. Of these barones regis in dominio xvii hidas et dimidiam et the king's barons have in demesne 17' hides and J dimidiam virgam. De isto dominicatu habet Willel- virgate.

Moione non habuit rex geldum. William of Eu's manor of Wynford Eagle (no. 264) lay in this hundred in 1303*^ and must therefore represent his demesne although, according to the Exchequer text, there were 6 hides in demesne, not 7 hides and 3.' virgates. It was assessed at 14 hides. Hugh de Port had only i manor in Dorset, Compton Valence (no. 357) in Frampton hundred. The exempt demesne credited to him in this hundred must be that of Compton Valence, and is the same as that credited to him in Frampton hundred. Ranulf held the manor of Chelborough (nos. 280 and xc) of William of Moyon. It was assessed at 3 hides, i of which non dedit geldum. Roger Arundel also held a manor called Chelborough (nos. 324 and xcvi), but Exon. Domesday gives the demesne as 3 not 3! hides. Wadard held Rampisham (no. 55) of the Bishop of Bayeux. It was assessed at 6 hides. In 1303 the manors of Chilfrome and Cruxton lay in this hundred. They belonged to the fief of John de Mohun of Dunster. Maiden Newton, Toller Porcorum, and Frome Vauchurch also lay in the hundred at that date.*' Chilfrome and Cruxton are identified by Eyton as Frame (nos. 278 and Ixxxviii), assessed at 10 <" Ibid. 60.

Ejton identified Frome Vauchurch as Frome (no. 265) held by Ansfrid of William of Eu. It was assessed at 6 hides, which brings the total hidage of the hundred to 59 hides, the Geld Roll figure. XV. BERE HUNDRED In Bere hundret sunt xlix hide et i virga. Inde habet rex ix libras et viii solidos pro xxx et i hida et i virga et barones regis habent in dominio x et vii hidas i virgam minus. De isto dominicatu habet comes de Moritonio i hidam et Hugo Gausbertus i virgam et Aiulfus i hidam. Alvricius venator ii hidas. Abbas INIideltonensis i hidam. Godricus presbiterus iiii hidas X agros minus. Abbas Cerneliensis iiii hidas. Filius Eureboldi ii hidas. Et de i hida et dimidia quam tenet Osmundus de Sueno non habuit rex geldum et de dimidia hida quam tenet Walterus Tonitruus de uxore Hugonis nunquam habuit rex geldum et de dimidia hida terre que fuit tanglanda tempore regis Edwardi et est modo in firma regis nunquam habuit rex geldum et pro i virga et dimidia quam habet Edwinus venator in hoc hundreto reddidit geldum in alio. In Bere hundred there are 49 hides and i virgate. Thence the king has ^^9 8i. for 31 hides and i virgate'" and the king's barons have in demesne 17 hides less i virgate. Of this demesne the Count of Mortain has i hide and Hugh Gosbert i virgate and Aiulf I hide. Alvric the huntsman 2 hides. The Abbot of Milton i hide. Godric the priest 4 hides less 10 acres. The Abbot of Cerne 4 hides. The son of Eurebold 2 hides. And from i \ hide which Osmund holds of Swain the king did not have geld and from \ hide which Walter Tonitruus holds of the wife of Hugh the king never had geld and from \ hide of land which was thegnland T.R.E. and is now in the king's farm the king never had geld. And from I o virgate which Edwin the huntsman has in this hundred he paid geld in another. The Count of Mortain's manor is probably Bestwall (no. 197), assessed at 3 hides. In 1316 it lay in the hundred of Hundredesberge, an offshoot of Bere hundred." Hugh Gosbert held i virgate in Worgret (no. 497). It was a divided vill, William of Briouze holding i hide and 3 virgates (no. 293), and Cerne Abbey i hide (nos. 84 and xlvii). Aiulf 's manor must be Hethfelton (no. 349), since of his remaining manors Brige (no. 348) is too small and Chettle (no. 342) was subinfeudated. Hethfelton was assessed at 1 1 hide. This is another divided vill, 2 hides being held by Robert of William of Briouze (no. 294) and 3 virgates by Cerne Abbey (nos. 83 and xlvi). Eyton identified the Abbot of Milton's manor as Pidre (nos. 107 and Ix-xxi), assessed at 2 hides, but if, as he says, this is part of Little Puddle, it must lie in Puddletown hundred. The abbey's manor of Clyffe (nos. 98 and Ixxi), also assessed at 2 hides, may have lain in the hundred, but according to Exon. Domesday it was held by the villani. Alvric the huntsman held 2 manors called Wintreburne (nos. 430, 484), each assessed at i hide, which may represent his demesne in this hundred, since Winterborne Kingston lay here in 1285.'- Godric the priest's manor must be Briantspuddle (no. 472), assessed at 5 hides, since his other manors are too small. '^ The Abbot of Cerne had 4 hides in demesne at Affpuddle (nos. 80 and xliii), assessed at 9 hides. Odo fitz Eurebold's manor of Milborne Stileham (no. 373), assessed at 2 hides, probably belongs here, since the manor which Osmund held of Swain was also IMilborne Stileham (no. 477). Its hidage is omitted in the Domesday survey. Walter Tonitruus held Turners Puddle (nos. 391 and cxxiv) of the wife of Hugh. It was assessed at 6 hides and ibi est dimidia hida et quattuor agri et i ortus que nunquam gildavit sed celatum est. The \ hide of thegnland in the king's farm is mysterious. At Hinton Martell (no. 31) there was i hide of thegnland which a priest had held T.R.E. but modo est in dominio regis. Edwin the huntsman's i^ virgate is also difficult to identify. It has been suggested that it was the 1 1 virgate attached to Bleneforde (no. 438),'-' assessed at 5 hides and i\ virgate. Bleneforde is part of either Blandford St. Mary or Langton Long Blandford, and must lie either in Combsditch or Langeberge hundred, but neither account mentions i \ virgate belonging to Edwin in another hundred. These manors amount to 32 hides, 2'. virgates. The manor of Bere (Dodding's Farm) (nos. 390 and cxxii) held by William de monasieriis of the wife of Hugh must belong here. It was assessed at i hide and i .' virgate was attached to it. In 1316 Rushton lay in the hundred of Hundredesberge'^ already mentioned as an offshoot of Bere hundred. It was a divided vill in 1086. ^^'illiam of Briouze held i.l hide (no. 292), Odo fitz Eurebold 3 virgates (no. 374), 2 knights held ', hide of the wife of Hugh (nos. 407 and cxl), Alward held i virgate (no. 449), and Edward 3! virgates (no. 466). In 1431 Holton lay in the same hundred."' In 1086 it was assessed at I hide and held by William of Briouze (no. 286). Eyton placed Bovington (no. 483) here. It was assessed at 4 hides and held by Alvric. In modern times it lay in Winfrith hundred, but in 1086 the Frome seems to have been the boundan,- between Bere and Winfrith hundreds, and Bovington may have been in Bere. This brings the total hidage to 48 hides, if virgate. XVI.

The Count of Mortain held 5! virgates at Wintreburne (no. 184). Dodeman held ij hide of him in the same manor. The Abbot of Cerne had 2 hides in demesne at Bloxworth (nos. 79 and xlii), assessed at 5! hides. The Abbot of Milton had i hide in demesne at Wintreburne (nos. 103 and Ixxvii), assessed at 2 hides and I virgate. The wife of Hugh held Wintreburne (nos. 386 and cxviii), assessed at 5 hides, with 3 not 3I hides in demesne, and Ralph held Wintreburne (nos. 387 and cxix), assessed at i.^ virgate, of her. John had only i manor, Wintreburne (no. 500), assessed at 2 hides, i\ virgate. Godwin the reeve held i hide in Wintreburne (no. 450). Alward Colinc held Thorncombe (no. 439), assessed at 2 hides. Edwin the huntsman held 2 manors called Bleneford{e) (nos. 438, 455), i assessed at 5 hides, i J virgate, and i at 5 hides. It is not possible to decide which is Blandford St. Mary which lay in Combsditch'' and which is Langton Long Blandford which lay in Langeberge hundred. '^ Aiulf held part of Blandford St. Mary (no. 336), assessed at I.' hide, which Leveva (Leofgifu) held T.R.E. Bretel held the manor of Littleton (no. 176) of the Count of Mortain. It was assessed at 5 hides and belonged to the hundred in 1303.''' Dodeman held part of Wintreburne (no. 184) of the Count of Mortain, as already stated, and also the manor of Blaneford (Blandford St. Mary) (no. 185), assessed at i.l hide. Bretel also held a manor called Bleneford (no. 177), assessed at i\ hide, of the Count of Mortain. William de Aldrie is not mentioned in the Dorset Domesday, either as a tenant-in-chief or as a mesne tenant. In the Wiltshire survey he appears as a tenant of William of Eu.*° At Bleneford (part of Blandford St. Mary) (no. 261), which William (presumably William de Aldrie) held of William of Eu, there was i hide from which non habuit rex geldum. Possibly this is the manor referred to in the Geld Roll. Hugh Gosbert held a manor called Wintreburne (no. 496), assessed at I hide. Two thegns had held it T.R.E. and there were 2 villani in 1086. Of the many manors called Wintreburne it is impossible to decide which lay in Combsditch and which in CuUifordtree hundred. The manor of Wintreburne which Urse held of Waleran (no. 305) probably belongs to this hundred. In 1242-3 Winterborne Tomson and Winterborne Turbervileston (now Winterborne Muston in Winterborne Kingston)*' were both de feudo heredis Waleran, and these same manors afterwards lay in the hundred of Combsditch.*^ Which of the 2 represents the manor held by Waleran in 1086 must remain doubtful. Since the other manors of Wintreburne cannot satisfactorily be identified, this hundred cannot be completed. XVII. COGDEAN HUNDRED In Cocdene hundret sunt Ixxx et vi hide et pro xxxii hide habet rex ix libras et xii solidos (et iii denarios). Et pro x et vii hidis et dimidia reddiderunt homines Rogerii de Bello Monte c et v solidos post festum sancte Marie. Et barones regis habent inde in dominio xxxv hidas et virgam et dimidiam. De isto dominicatu habet Edwardus xvi hidas et dimidiam et Rogerus de Bello Monte xi hidas et dimidiam et Rotbertus filius Geraldi vii hidas et virgam et dimidiam et pro i virga quam Edwardus habet in hoc hundreto reddidit (geldum) in alio et pro dimidia virga villanorum (Rotberti) filii Geroldi (non habet rex) gildum. Edward of Salisbury held 2 manors in Dorset, Canford Magna (no. 243), with 1 1 1 hides in demesne, and Kinson (no. 244), now in Hampshire, with 5 hides and i virgate in demesne. Together they amount to 38 hides. Roger de Beaumont's manor must be Sturminster Marshall (no. 232), although the Domesday In Cogdean hundred there are 86 hides and for 32 hides the king has £() 12s. 2d. and from 17.! hides the men of Roger de Beaumont rendered 105^. after Lady Day. And the king's barons have thence in demesne 35 hides and li virgate. Of this demesne Edward has i6i hides, and Roger de Beaumont un- hides, and Robert fitz Gerpld 7 hides and li virgate. And for i virgate which Edward has in this hundred he paid geld in another, and for .j virgate belonging to the villeins of Robert fitz Ceroid the king does not have geld. ■" Inq. Non. (Rec.

This makes a total of 90 hides, as opposed to the 86 hides of the Geld Roll. XVIII. LOOSEBARROW HUNDRED In Loosebarrow hundred^s there are 410 hides. Thence the king has ^6 os. 6d.*^ for 20 hides less 4 acres and the king's barons have in demesne — [blank]. Of this demesne the king has 3.' hides of Harold's land. Hugh Gosbert i virgate. William of Moyon 2I hides less 4 acres. William de Dalmar 3 hides and il virgate, and the Count of Mortain i virgate. The Abbess of Shaftesburv' 6 hides and i virgate and 2 acres, and Ulvric the huntsman i\ hide, and Ulveva 3 virgates. Walter de Claville i hide. And from i virgate which Robert fitz Ivo holds of the count the king never had geld. From i ', hide which the villeins hold of Harold's land the king did not have geld. In Celeberge hundret sunt xl et i hide et dimidia. Inde habet rex vi libras (et) vi denarios pro xx hidis iiii agris minus et barones regis habent in dominio — [blank]. Rex habet de isto dominicatu iii hidas et dimidiam de terra Heroldi. Hugo Gausbertus i virgam. Willelmus de Moione iii hidas et dimidiam iiii agros minus. Willelmus de Dalmereio iii hidas et virgam et dimidiam (et comes de Moritonio i virgam).

Et pro i virga quam tenet Rotbertus filius Ivonis de [f. 21] comite nunquam habuit rex geldum. Pro hida et dimidia quam tenent villani de terra Heroldi non habuit rex geldum. The hundred takes its name from Charborough (nos. 9 and iv), a manor of 5 hides, previously held by Earl Harold but held by the king in 1086. It had 3! hides in demesne. Hugh Gosbert's land must be his unnamed virgate (no. 495). William of Aloyon's manor is probably Spetisburj' (nos. 274 and Ixxxiv). It was assessed at 7 hides, i virgate, and 6 acres, with 3 hides, i virgate, and 10 acres in demesne. The Count of Mortain also had a manor at Spetisbun,- (no. 173), of which he himself held i virgate and 3 acres and Robert held 3 virgates and 6 acres. It was assessed at il hide. William de Dalmar held a manor in an unspecified localit)' (no. 494), assessed at 3 hides and 2i virgates."" The Abbess of Shaftesburv' had 7 hides and I virgate in demesne at ^Nlapperton (in Aimer) (no. 137), the nearest amount to that recorded in the Geld Roll. Mapperton was assessed at 11 hides. Ulvric the huntsman held Morden (no. 437), assessed at 2.V hides. In the same vill his brother's wife held i hide and i virgate. She is presumably identical with Ulveva. Walter de Claville held a manor called IMorden (nos. 315 and clxi), but according to Exon. Domesday he had li virgate in demesne, not 2 virgates. Aiulf held 3 virgates in Morden (no. 337) and William Chernet held I hide and i virgate in Morden of the wife of Hugh (nos. 385 and cxvii). Robert, perhaps Robert fitz Ivo, held I hide in Morden (no. 172) of the Count of Mortain. In 1303 Tarrant Crawford belonged to this hundred."" It was held in 1086 by Edward of Alvric (no. 436) and was assessed at 2 hides. This brings the hidage of the hundred to 40 hides, 3' virgates, and 6 acres, just 2I virgates short of the Geld Roll figure. XIX. ROWBARROW HUNDRED In Aileveswode hundret sunt Ixx et iii hide. Inde habet rex xv libras et vii solidos et iii denarios pro 1 et i hidis et iii partibus unius virge et barones regis habent in dominio — [blank]. De isto dominicatu habet Rogerus (Arondellus) iii hidas et dimidiam et dimidiam virgam et abbatissa de Sancto Edwardo iii hidas quartam partem unius virge minus et Rogerus de Bello Monte ii hidas et dimidiam. Abbas IMidiltonensis ii hidas dimidiam virgam minus. Serlo de Burceio ii hidas et dimidiam (i) agrum et dimidium minus et comes Eustachius i hidam et terciam partem i virge.

He held another manor in the same vill (nos. 332 and civ), assessed at i hide. Ralph held 3 virgates in the same vill of the wife of Hugh (nos. 418 and cli). The Abbess of Shaftesbury held Kingston (no. 134), assessed at 16 hides, with 3 hides and 3 virgates in demesne. The king held i hide there, in which he had built Corfe Castle [castellum Warliam), and William of Briouze held i virgate. It belonged to the hundred of Rowbarrow in the 14th century.^" Roger de Beaumont held 2 manors at Afflington (nos. 236, 237), assessed at 2 hides and i hide respectively, the amount of his exempt demesne in this hundred. The manor of Milton Abbey is probably Ower (Farm) (nos. 105 and Ixxix). Neither Exon. Domesday nor the Exchequer text gives the demesne of Ower, but it lay in the hundred in 13 16.'" It was assessed at 3 hides T.R.E. Serle of Burcy's manor must be Whitecliff (nos. 335 and cvii), assessed at 3 hides, with 2I hides in demesne. Count Eustace (Count of Boulogne) does not appear in the Dorset survey, but his wife, the countess, held 3 manors, i of which, Swanage (nos. 515 and xxxviii), was assessed at i hide and J virgate. According to Exon. Domesday the countess had no demesne in this manor which was held by a villanus, but rex Willelmus nunquam habuit gelduni de hac mansione. Walter Tonitruus held i' hide in Swanage (nos. 417 and cl) of the wife of Hugh. Alvric the huntsman held Coombe (no. 481), the only one of his manors, apart from Bovington in Bere hundred (no. 483), which is large enough to cover his exempt demesne. It was assessed at 5 hides and i virgate. Durand the carpenter held the manor oi Moleham (no. 511), assessed at i hide, the amount of his exempt demesne in this hundred. The only manor which he held of the wife of Hugh was Wilkswood (nos. 423 and clvi), assessed at I hide. She herself held part of Wilkswood (nos. 415 and cxlviii), assessed at 3! hides and f virgate, with 2.1 hides in demesne. She also had 2 hides in demesne at Acton (nos. 416 and cxlix), assessed at 2.1 hides. There was il hide in Purbeck hundred attached to Earl Harold's manor of Puddletown (nos. 8 and ii), which is probably the 1 \ hide held by the villani of Earl Harold. Six hides and 2.1 virgates in Purbeck hundred (no. 296) were held of William of Briouze by Richard and the wife of Hugh. The hide held by St. Stephen, Caen, seems also to have laid in Purbeck, although the Domesday survey does not mention it. In Henry I's confirmation charter, however, Pubich is mentioned as a member of the abbey's manor of Bincombe in Cullifordtree hundred. '^ These manors add up to 66 hides and i virgate, with in addition i hide in Purbeck, belonging to St. Stephen, Caen. Studland and Rollington lay in this hundred at a later date. Studland (no. 209), assessed at 3. I hides, was held by Haimo of the Count of Mortain in 1086 and lay in the hundred of Rowbarrow in 1275,'^ and Rollington (nos. 331 and ciii), assessed at 2 hides and if virgate, was held by Robert of Roger Arundel in 1086 and lay in the hundred in i303.'"t In 1431 Herston lay in Rowbarrow hundred. 's In 1086 2 virgates in Herston (nos. 333 and cv) belonged to Roger Arundel, and i virgate in the same vill (no. 512) belonged to Godfrey the scullion. Fagersten linked the hundred name of Aileveswode with the manor of Ailwood (Aleoude) (no. 482), held of Swain by the wife of Hugh.«^ It must therefore lie in this hundred. It was assessed at 4 hides and 3 virgates. This brings the total hidage to 78.1 hides and f virgate. The Geld Roll gives the hidage as 73 hides, but in fact the details of the account add up to 78 hides and if virgate.'' XX. HANDLEY HUNDRED In Hanglege hundret sunt xx hide et pro xvi hidis et i In Handley hundred there are 20 hides and for 16 virga quas homines abbatisse habent in hoc hundreto hides and i virgate which the men of the abbess et pro vi hidis et dimidia quas ipsi habent in alio have in this hundred and for 6.\ hides which they hundreto habet rex vi libras et xvi solidos et vi have in another hundred the king has ^^6 16^. bd. denarios et abbatissa habet inde in dominio iii hidas and the abbess has thence in demesne 3 hides and 3 et iii virgas. virgates. This hundred consists only of the Abbess of Shaftesbury's manor of Sixpenny Handley (no. 125), assessed at 20 hides with 3 hides and 3 virgates in demesne. XXI.

In Langeberge hundred there are 84 hides.'' Thence the king has £12 zs. ^d.' for 40 hides and i virgate and 8 acres and the barons have thence in demesne 34 hides and i virgate. Of this demesne the Abbess of Shaftesbury has 2J hides, and Aiulf 2.\ hides, and the son of Eurebold 2 hides less 4 acres. Edwin the huntsman 2 hides and 3 virgates, and the king has 8 hides and 3 virgates of Queen Maud's land. Ralph of Cranborne 1 hide and i virgate. The Bishop of Lisieux 5?, hides, and the Abbot of Cranborne 4I hides, and the Abbess of Caen 4 hides less 4 acres, and the wife of Hugh .\ hide. And from ^l hides which William Caisnell holds of the wife of Hugh the king did not have geld and from 6 hides and 4 acres which the villeins of the Abbess of Caen hold the king did not have geld and from 4 hides of the queen's land the king did not have geld. The Abbess of Shaftesbury had 2I hides in demesne at Tarrant Hinton (no. 132), assessed at 10 hides. Odo fitz Eurebold's manor must be Farnham (no. 372), assessed at 2 hides, his only remaining manor, and Aiulf's 2 manors of Farnham (nos. 343, 352), assessed at 2 hides and .1 hide respectively, probably represent his exempt demesne in this hundred. The i-hide manor had belonged to Shaftesbury Abbey, as had the | hide in Farnham held by the wife of Hugh (nos. 396 and cxxix). Edwin the huntsman held 2 manors called Bleneford{e), 1 of which must belong here, since Langton Long Blandford lay in this hundred in 1212.2 The other lay in Combsditch hundred. ^ One (no. 438) was assessed at 5 hides, 1 1 virgate, and the other (no. 455) at 5 hides. The manors of Queen Maud in this hundred must be Ashmore (nos. 17 and xxiii), assessed at 8 hides with 4 hides in demesne, and the 3 manors of Tarente: (nos. 24 and xxx), assessed at 30 hides with 2 hides in demesne; (nos. 25 and xxxi), assessed at I hide, held by the bordars; (nos. 26 and xxxv), assessed at 3 hides, i virgate, with 2 hides, 3 virgates, in demesne. This brings her exempt demesne to 8 hides, 3 virgates, as in the Geld Roll. Ralph, probably identical with Ralph of Cranborne, held the manor of Tarente (no. 370) as a. francus. The Bishop of Lisieux had 5. I hides in demesne at Tarrant Keyneston (no. 60), assessed at 10 hides and § virgate, and the Abbot of Cranborne had 4., hides in demesne at Tarrant Monkton (no. 75), assessed at 10 hides. The Abbess of Holy Trinity, Caen, had only i manor in Dorset, Tarrant Launceston (no. 141), assessed at 10 hides with 4 hides less 4 acres in demesne. The wife of Hugh held | hide at Tarente (nos. 400 and cxxxiii). Ralph held Tarrant Rawston (nos. 404 and cxxxvii), assessed at 5 hides, of the wife of Hugh, and Berold held i hide and 3 virgates in Tarente (nos. 405 and cxxxviii) of her. Aiulf held Terente (no. 340), assessed at 2 hides, and William held Terente (no. 267), assessed at 3.^ hides, of William of Eu. This brings the total hidage to 79 hides, 33 virgates. Eyton added Chettle (no. 342), assessed at i hide and held by Airard of Aiulf, Stubhampton (no. 341), assessed at i hide and held by Aiulf, and 2 manors in Langton Long Blandford, assessed at i hide and 5 hides respectively and held by Ulviet (no. 458) and by Robert Attlet of Roger Arundel (nos. 325 and xcvii), to bring the total hidage to 87 hides, 35- virgates.'' XXIII. KNOW^LTON HUNDRED In Chenoltune hundret sunt xxxvi hide et dimidia. Inde habet rex iiii libras et vii solidos pro xiiii hidis et dimidia et barones habent in dominio xx et i hidas et dimidiam. De isto dominicatu habet mater Willelmi de Ou vii hidas et dimidiam et comes' Moritonio xi hidas et dimidiam et de dimidia (hida) quam quidam mulier habet de comite de Moritonio nunquam habuit rex geldum et abbatissa Wiltonis habet ii hidas et dimidiam in dominio. " In fact the details of the account amount to 88J hides and 4 acres. ' The geld on 40 hides and i virgate is jCi2 is. bd. The 8 acres therefore paid lid. In Knowlton hundred there are 360 hides. Thence the king has £.{ js. for 14.1 hides and the barons have in demesne 21 J hides. Of this demesne William of Eu's mother has yl hides and the Count of Mortain 1 1 1 hides, and from i hide which a certain woman has of the Count of Mortain the king never had geld and the Abbess of Wilton has 2.\ hides in demesne. Bk. of Fees, 87. See p. 135. Eyton, Key to Domesday: Dorset, 131-2. Supply 'de' after comes. 138 DORSET GELD ROLLS The Abbess of Wilton held the manor of Philipston (Winburne) (no. 140), assessed at 3.' hides, the amount of her exempt demesne. William of Eu's mother does not appear in the Domesday survey, but William himself held 7.' hides in demesne at Long Crichel and Moor Crichel (no. 266), assessed at 12 hides. Aiulf held part of Crichel [Chirce) (no. 351), assessed at 4 hides. The Count of Mortain had only i manor large enough to have iii hides in demesne, Gussage All Saints (no. 192), which lay in this hundred in 1212.* His manor of Knowlton (no. 191), held of him by Ansger, must belong to this hundred also. It was assessed at 2 hides, which brings the total hidage to the Geld Roll figure of 36.^ hides. A woman held Cernel (no. 153) of the count, assessed at li hide, but it seems unlikely that this manor could belong to Knowlton hundred. It is more likely to have belonged to Dorchester hundred. XXIV. SIXPENNY HUNDRED In Sexpene hundret sunt 1 hide. Inde habet rex xi In Sixpenny hundred there are 50 hides. Thence the libras et xv solidos et vi denarios et abbatissa habet king has j^^ii i^s. bdJ and the abbess has thence in inde in dominio x hidas et iii virgas. demesne 10 hides and 3 virgates. This hundred was later amalgamated with Handley, also held entirely by the Abbess of Shaftesbury, to form Sixpenny Handley hundred. In the 13th century this combined hundred contained Iwerne Minster, Fontmell Magna, Melbury Abbas, and Compton Abbas as well as Handley. These 4 manors were held by the abbess in 1086 (nos. 128-31) and were assessed at 15 hides (Fontmell), 10 hides (Compton), 10 hides (Melbury), and 18 hides (Iwerne Minster), a total of 53 hides. The hidage of Iwerne Minster in the original bequest of King Alfred to the abbess was 15 hides, * which would make the total 50 hides. The total in demesne in the Domesday survey is 16 hides. XXV. HUNESBERGE HUNDRED In Hunesberge hundret sunt Ixxix hide. Inde habet In Hunesberge hundred there are 79 hides.

Of this demesne the Count of Mortain has 8 de Moritonio habet viii hidas et i virgam et canonici hides and i virgate and the canons of Coutances 3 Constantienses hides and 3 virgates. William of Moyon 4J hides less [f. 22] 4 acres. Aiulf 3! hides. And for 2I hides which iii hidas et iii virgas.

The only manor of the Count of Mortain, apart from Gussage All Saints, large enough to have 8 hides and I virgate in demesne is Blaneford (no. 194), which belonged to this hundred in 1212.' It was assessed at 10 hides. The canons of Coutances had only i manor in the whole of England, Winterborne Stickland (no. 142), assessed at 8 hides, with 3 hides, 3 virgates, in demesne. William of Moyon's manor is probably Poleham (nos. 276 and Ixxxvi), assessed at 10 hides, with 4 hides, i virgate, and 6 acres in demesne, the nearest figure to the 4.' hides less 4 acres of the Geld Roll.'" Alvred held 2 hides at Okeford Fitzpaine (no. 64) of Glaston- bury Abbey, assessed at 8 hides. No other land was held of the abbey by a man of this name, so he must be Alvred of Epaignes, despite the discrepancy in hidage. Robert held the manor of Wintreburne (nos. 403 and cxxxvi) of the wife of Hugh. According to Exon. Domesday de i virgata nunquam habuit Willelmus rex geldum suum. It was assessed at i hide and i virgate. He also held the manor of Wintreburne entered immediately before this one (nos. 402 and cxxxv), assessed at i ' hide. Probably both are part of Winter- borne Stickland. Aiulf held part of Durweston (no. 346), assessed at 4?, hides. This manor lay in Pimperne hundred at a later date," but since Hunesberge and Pimperne hundreds were amalgamated in the early 13th century Aiulf 's manor could have lain in Hunesberge in the nth century. This brings the hidage up to 43 hides, I virgate. Shillingstone (no. 367), held by Schelin and assessed at 16 hides, probably lay here also. It was originally called Shilling Okeford (Alford). Eyton added to this hundred Hammoon (nos. 277 and Ixxxvii), held by Torstin of William of Moyon, Plumber (no. 453), held by Ralph of Swain, Fifehead Neville (no. 307), held by Ingelram of Waleran, and Turnworth (no. 319), held by Alvred of Epaignes. Each of these manors was assessed at 5 hides and they belonged to the hundred of Pimperne at a later date.'- This brings the total hidage of Hunesberge hundred to 79 hides, i virgate, the Geld Roll total being 79 hides. The other 2 manors in Durweston, held by Robert of the wife of Hugh (nos. 401 and cxxxiv) and William of the Count of Mortain (no. 193), were assessed at 2 hides and 2| hides respectively.

Inde habet rex iii libras et x et viii solidos pro xiii hidis et barones regis habent in dominio xv hidas. De isto dominicatu habet rex vi hidas (et dimidiam et i virgam) de terra regine Alatildis et abbatissa Sancti Edwardi i hidam et dimidiam virgam quam postea dedit cuidam suo servienti. Edwinus venator ii hidas et i virgam iiii agros minus et Hunfridus camerarius v hidas. De his v hidis dedit Hunfridus et (sic) ecclesie dimidiam hidam per assensum regis. Et de ii hidis et dimidia quas tenet David de Willel- mo de Braiosa non habuit rex geldum et de iiii hidis quas tenent villani de terra regine Mathildis non habuit rex geldum. In Pimperne hundred there are 34' hides. Thence the king has £t, iSs. for 13 hides and the king's barons have in demesne 15 hides. Of this demesne the king has 6' hides and i virgate of Queen Maud's land and the Abbess of Shaftesburv' i hide and i virgate which she afterwards gave to a certain Serjeant of hers. Edwin the huntsman 2 hides and i virgate less 4 acres, and Humphrey the chamberlain 5 hides. Of these 5 hides Humphrey gave ' hide to the church with the king's consent. And from 2i hides which David holds of William of Briouze the king did not have geld and from 4 hides of Queen ;\Iaud's land which the villeins hold the king did not have geld. The queen's manor of Nutford (Farm) belonged to the hundred in i303'3 and can therefore be assumed to be part of her land in 1086. It was, however, assessed at only 2 J hides (nos. 28 and xxxiii), whereas the queen held 6 hides, 3 virgates, of exempt demesne and 4 hides of land held by villani in this hundred. The only other manor of the queen which cannot be assigned to another hundred''* is Shitterton (nos. 27 and xxxii), assessed at 5 hides, with 3I hides in demesne, which is still not large enough to cover her land. This problem seems to be insoluble. The demesne of the Abbess of Shaftesbury also does not tally with the Domesday account of the abbess's land. However, the later of the 2 surveys of the abbey's land, dating from the 12th century, says that the abbess had a hide in Pimperne attached to her manor of Tarrant Hinton (no. 132) in Langeberge hundred. '^ The Domesday survey mentions neither the land nor the fact that the abbess gave it to a Serjeant. Steepleton Iwerne (nos. 281 and xci) lay in this hundred in 1303.'* It was then held by William fitz Alexander of John de Mohun. In 1086 it was held by Geoffrey (Maloret) of William of Moyon and was assessed at 3 hides. The manor of hcerne (no. 241) held by Robert of Robert fitz Ceroid and also assessed at 3 hides seems to be Ranston.'' It probably belonged to Pimperne as well at this date. Edwin the huntsman's manor is probably Werne (no. 456), identified as Lazerton (Farm) in Stourpaine.'^ Humphrey the chamberlain's manor must be Stourpaine (no. 356), since his other manors have been accounted for, and since it is the only one large enough to have 5 hides in demesne, being assessed at 6 hides, I.J virgate. Part of Stourpaine was held by William Belet (no. 509); it was assessed at i hide and 2^ virgates. He also held Nodford (no. 502), formerly called Nutford Lockey but now France Farm in Stour- paine." It was assessed at i hide and 2' virgates. The Domesday account of Humphrey's manor of Stour- paine does not mention a gift to the church. The hundred cannot be completely reconstructed because of the confusion over the land of the queen and the difficulty of knowing which of the manors belonging to the later hundred of Pimperne lay in the Domesday hundred of Pimperne and which in the Domesday hundred of Hunesberge.^" XXVII.

William of Falaise held only 2 manors in Dorset, Silton (no. 271) and Milton on Stour in Gillingham (no. 272). Silton was assessed at 8 hides, and attached to it were a hide and i virgate which Wulfweard White, William's predecessor, had in pledge and i hide which Wulfweard had bought from the Bishop of Exeter. Milton on Stour was assessed at 3 hides. Gudmund's only manor was Milton on Stour (no. 425), assessed at 42 hides. Godric the huntsman held i virgate in Gillingham (no. 428), and according to the Domesday survey of Wiltshire Fulcred held 3 virgates in Gillingham, which must be his manor in this hundred. ^^ Bernard held part of Gillingham (no. 250), assessed at 3! hides, of Turstin fitz Rolf. Edwin held i virgate in Gillingham (no. 427), Ulwin li virgate (no. 429), and Edward the huntsman .' virgate (no. 490). Chetel held 3 hides and 3 virgates in Kington Magna (no. 426), his only manor in Dorset. Part of Kington Magna (no. 245), assessed at 6 hides and i virgate, was held by Urse of Ernulf of Hesdin, and Ranulf held Little Kington (Farm), in Kington Magna (no. 303), assessed at 3 hides, of Waleran. The Abbess of Shaftesbury had 9 hides, 2.I virgates, in demesne at East and West Stour (no. 127), assessed at 17 hides. The Abbess of St. Leger, Preaux, is not recorded in the Domesday survey either as a tenant-in-chief or a mesne tenant. The abbey, with its companion house of St. Pierre, for monks, was founded by Humphrey de Vieilles, father of Roger de Beaumont, the Domesday tenant-in-chief.^'' Roger had the manor of Stour Provost (no. 23 1 ) in 1 086, which in 1 285 was held by the Abbess of Preaux of the Earl of Leicester. ^^ Jt was assessed at 7 hides in 1086, and the Domesday survey gives the demesne as 4.1 not 3?i hides, but this must have been the manor held by the Abbess of Preaux. It is possible that the abbess was Roger's daughter. It is known that Roger gave land to the abbey when his daughter became a nun there. Roger's son Robert, Count of Meulan, makes reference to his sister, Abbess Aubrey, in a charter to St. Mary de Pre, Leicester, and the name of the fourth abbess of Preaux is recorded as Alberee. She died in 1112.^^ Other manors which can be assigned to this hundred are Buckhorn Weston (no. 149), assessed at 7 hides and held by Haimo of the Count of Mortain, and Thorton (no. 256), assessed at 2 hides and held by William of William of Eu. Both manors lay in the hundred in 1212." In 1285 Wyndlam, Fifehead Magdalen, and Todber lay in this hundred.^* Wyndlam (nos. 322 and xciv), assessed at 2 hides, was held by Roger de margella of Roger Arundel; Fifehead Magdalen (no. 220), assessed at 5 hides, was held by Gilbert of Earl Hugh; and Todber (nos. 273 and Ixxxiii), assessed at 2 hides, by Geoffrey Maloret of William of Moyon. In 1303 Nyland lay in the hundred.^' It was a divided vill in 1086, 2 hides being held by Drew of the Count of Mortain (no. 150), 2 hides by Ranulf of Turstin fitz Rolf (no. 251), and i hide by Bernard of Turstin fitz Rolf (no. 252). This brings the total hidage to 82 hides, 3! virgates, 4 hides more than the Geld Roll figure. XXVin. BROWNSHALL HUNDRED In Bruneselle hundret sunt Hi hide et dimidia.

The monks had 6 hides in demesne at Stal- bridge, assessed at 20 hides, and 5 hides at Stalbridge Weston (no. 43), assessed at 8 hides. William of Ecouis had 3' hides in demesne at Stourton Caundle (no. 299), assessed at 5 hides. The only manor of Hugh silvestris was Stourton Caundle (no. 363), assessed at i hide, which Leverone (Leofrun) held T.R.E. She had also held Stourton Caundle (no. 478), held in 1086 by Godric and assessed at i hide. The Count of Mortain held i hide in Stourton Caundle (no. 218), and Alwin held 3 hides there of him (no. 219). The count had given Purse Caundle (nos. 118 and Ixiv) to Athelney Abbey, in exchange for Bishopston (Montacute) in Somerset. Purse Caundle was assessed at 4 hides, and Alvred pincerna held 1 1 virgate of the abbey.

This brings the total hidage to 53 hides and \ virgate, as opposed to the 52' hides of the Geld Roll. The details of the Geld Roll account, however, amount to 53 hides. XXIX.

The manor lay in the hundred in 143 1.^^ The other 2\ hides of exempt demesne held by the wife of Hugh in this hundred cannot be identified, since her remaining manors were all subinfeudated in 1086. Eyton placed Hurpston in Steeple (nos. 413 and cxlvi) in this hundred. It was held by Robert the boy {puer) of the wife of Hugh, and assessed at 3 hides.-'-' Walter de Claville had i hide and i virgate in demesne at Church Knowle (nos. 312 and clviii), assessed at 2 hides, and his manor of Afflington (nos. 311 and clvii), which he held in demesne, was assessed at 2 hides, i' virgate. Church Knowle lay in this hundred in 1212, along with Steeple and East Creech. ^-^ Roger de Beaumont held land in all 3 vills in 1086, zl hides in Steeple (no. 234), 2 hides in East Creech (no. 233), and 3. I hides in Church Knowle (no. 235). Beulf held i hide in Church Knowle (no. 308) of Waleran, and Walter held i hide in the same vill (no. 291) of William of Briouze. Bretel held 2 hides in East Creech (no. 202) of the Count of Mortain, \\'alter held ' hide there (no. 289) of William of Briouze and Robert frumentinus another 1 hide (nos. 412 and cxlv) of the wife of Hugh. Durand the carpenter's virgate must be his manor of Afflington (no. 510), assessed at that amount. Three and a half virgates in Afflington were held by Walter of William of Briouze (no. 290). The Abbess of Shaftesbury's land in this hundred is difficult to identify. In 1285 she held the manors of Arne, Blashenwell (Farm), and Encombe (the 2 latter in Corfe Castle parish). In the second survey of the abbey's lands, dating from the latter part of the 12th century, Blashenwell and Encombe were appendages of her manor of Kingston, and Arne in Purbeck consisted of a hide of land occupied by salt-pans. Encombe consisted of w virgate and Blashenwell of i.\ hide.''' Both the Domesdav survev and the 12th-century survey give the hidage of Kingston (no. 134) as 16 hides. It lay in Rowbarrow hundred at this date. The Abbot of Cerne held Kimmeridge (nos. 90 and liii), which lay in the hundred in 1285, and Renscombe (nos. 91 and liv), which lay there in 13 16." Kimmeridge was assessed at 5 hides with 2 hides, 2' virgates, in demesne and Renscombe at 5 hides, i virgate, with 2 hides, 3 virgates, in demesne. Part of Kimmeridge was held by Richard of William of Briouze (no. 28S). It was assessed at i j hide. Alvric the huntsman held Blackmanston (nos. 476, 489), assessed at i hide. Anschitil de Carisburgo must be the man called Anschitil fitz Ameline in the Exchequer text. He held only I manor, Tvneham (no. 369), assessed at 3 hides. It was a divided vill, 3.' hides being held by Bretel of the Count of ;\Iortain (no. 203), i hide and i virgate by William of Earl Hugh (no. 227), and i virgate bv Edric (no. 473). The last-named is presumably Edric the reeve, but Tyneham is too small to cover his exempt demesne in this hundred. He also held East Holme (no. 467), assessed at i hide, which lay in the hundred in 1285.-'* \\'alter de Claville also held 2 hides and i virgate in East Holme (nos. 313 and clix), with \ virgate in demesne. Robert fitz Gerold's manor in the hundred must be Povington (no. 242), assessed at 8' hides, which lay there in 121 2.'' Robert fitz Ralph does not appear in the Dorset survey, either as a tenant-in-chief or as a mesne tenant. A Robert fitz Rolf or Ralf held 3 manors in Wiltshire,-'" but none of them could have been included in Hasilor hundred. The land of the abbey of St. Wandrille must be the hide attached to the church of Wareham (nos. 124 and xx). The Count of Slortain had i hide attached to a mill at Stoborough (no. 201).

This brings the hidage to 62 hides, but the hundred cannot be properly reconstructed because of the difficulties over the land of the Abbess of Shaftesbury and Robert fitz Ralph. XXX.

Harold's manor in this hundred must be Chaldon Herring or East Chaldon (nos. 12 and viii), assessed at 13 hides, which lay in this hundred in 1 275,1' but both Exon. Domesday and the Exchequer text give the hidage in demesne as 6 hides. The Bishop of Lisieux had 6 hides and i virgate in demesne at Coombe Keynes (no. 61), assessed at 10 hides. Walter de Claville held part of Coombe Keynes (nos. 314 and clx), assessed at 3 hides, but Exon. Domesday gives his demesne as 2 hides. The Count of Mortain held 2 manors in Lulworth (nos. 198, 199), assessed at 3 J hides and 2 hides, respectively, which probably represent his demesne in this hundred, since Lulworth lay in Winfrith hundred in i2i2.-'i Aiulf the chamberlain held a manor in Lulworth (no. 350), assessed at 8 hides and 3 virgates. W^ool lay in the hundred at the same date. Alward held i i hide in Wool (no. 486) in 1086, and had held a virgate in the same vill T.R.E. which in 1086 was held by Almar (no. 487) who may be the beadle mentioned in the Geld Roll. One hide and 3 virgates in W'ool (no. 208) were held of the Count of Mortain by Bretel and Malger in 1086. This may be the land held of the count by Robert in the Geld Roll, but no part of the land seems to have been exempt from geld. Osmund the baker held 3 virgates at Woodstreet (no. 508) in Wool. Hugh held 5 hides at Chaldon Herring (nos. 408 and cxli) of the wife of Hugh. This brings the total hidage to 495 hides, i virgate more than the Geld Roll total.

Queen Maud's manor of Watercombe (nos. 29 and xxxiv) was assessed at i hide. The Abbot of Cerne's manor is probably Poxwell (nos. 81 and xliv) assessed at 6 hides, although both Exon. Domesday and the Exchequer text give the demesne as i ' hide. It lay in the hundred of Winfrith in 1285. ■♦5 Celberge had been amalgamated with Winfrith hundred by that date, and since the Abbot of Cerne had no exempt demesne in Winfrith hundred in 1084 Poxwell was presumably then part of Celberge. Holworth, Ringstead (now deserted), Woodsford, Warmwell, and Morton also lay in Winfrith hundred in 1285. Ringstead in 1086 was a divided vill. Hugh de St. Quintin had 2 hides there (no. 359) and Brictuin the reeve i hide (no. 463). This cannot be part of the latter's demesne in this hundred, since 6 men held it of him at farm. Hugh held i hide in Ringstead (nos. 409 and cxlii) of the wife of Hugh and Ralph the steward i\ hide there of the same woman (nos. 411 and cxliv). William Belet held 2* hides at Woodsford (no. 503) and Bristuin held 2.\ hides in the same vill (nos. 82 and xlv) at farm of Cerne Abbey. Matthew de Moretania's manor in this hundred must be Owermoigne (no. 321), assessed at 9 hides and 3 virgates. Brictuin the reeve held i hide at «' Feud. Aids, ii. 23-24. " Rot. Hund. (Rec.

A HISTORY OF DORSET Rloreton (no. 461) and Robert 3 hides in the same vill (no. 204) of the Count of Mortain. The rest of Brictuin's demesne in this hundred must be at Galton (no. 462), assessed at 2 hides, i \ virgate, since Osmund the baker's manor in this hundred must be Gahon (no. 507), assessed at i hide and .' virgate, the amount of his exempt demesne. The Abbot of Mihon held Holworth (nos. 104 and Ixxviii), assessed at 5 hides, but both Exon. Domesday and the Exchequer text give the demesne as 3 hides. Warmwell was a divided vill in 1086, i hide being held by Robert of the Count of Mortain (no. 205), i.\ hide by Turold of the wife of Hugh (nos. 410 and cxliii), and 2.J. hides by William (INIalbank) of Earl Hugh (no. 226). William (Malbank) held i virgate at Warmwell which never paid geld, but the Geld Roll does not mention it. In 1275 Mayne, belonging to the Knights Hospitallers, lay in the hundred of Winfrith.'''' In 1285 Mayne Ospitalis (Frver INIavne) and Mayne Syrard (Little Mayne (Farm)) lay in CuUifordtree hundred and Mayne Martel (Broadmayne) in the hundred of St. George.'*' It is possible, however, that the 2 manors of Broadmayne and Little Mayne lay in Celberge hundred in 1084. Both were held by William (Malbank) of Earl Hugh in 1086 (nos. 223, 224) and were assessed at 3 hides and 2 hides respectively. This gives a total hidage of 49 hides and 3 virgates, i hide and 3 virgates short of the Geld Roll figure. XXXII. DORCHESTER HUNDRED (ST. GEORGE) In Dorecestre hundret sunt Ixxiii hide et i virga. In Dorchester (St. George) hundred there are 73 Inde habet rex xvi libras et ix solidos et ii denarios hides and i virgate. Thence the king has £\b()s. zd.'^ pro Iv hidis dimidia virga minus. Inde habent barones for 55 hides less ' virgate. Thence the barons have in dominio xiiii hidas. De isto dominicatu habet in demesne 14 hides. Of this demesne the wife of uxor Hugonis iii hidas et i virgam et comes de Hugh has 3 hides and i virgate, and the Count of INIoritonio v virgas et Hugo de Nemore Herberti i Mortain 5 virgates, and Hugh de Boscherbert i hide hidam et dimidiam virgam. and i virgate.

The wife of Hugh had 3 hides in demesne at Wintrehurne (nos. 376 and cviii), the nearest figure to the Geld Rolls. This manor must be Martinstown in Winterborne St. Martin which lay in the hundred in 1285.'" It was assessed at 6 hides. The numerous manors called Cerne may be presumed to lie in this hundred. The Count of Mortain held 2'. hides in Cerne (no. 158) which probably represents his exempt demesne; Ralph held Cerne (no. 157) of him, and since this is the only manor in Dorset held of the count by a man called Ralph he must be identical with Ralph the clerk. Ansger held 2 manors called Cerne (nos. 156, 159) of the count. Ralph's manor was assessed at 3 hides, and the manors of Ansger at 3 hides and 2 hides respectively. Walchelin is not recorded as a tenant of the count in the Domesday survey. Hugh de Boscherbert's manor in this hundred must be Cernel (no. 360), assessed at i ' hide, since his only other manor must lie in L^ggescomhe hundred. Hugh de St. Quintin's manor in this hundred must be Stinsford (no. 358), assessed at 2 hides, 2.' virgates. It lay in the hundred of St. George in 1285, when it belonged to the heirs of John Quintin. s" Part of Stinsford was held by Aiulf of Brictuin (no. 464). It was assessed at 2'. virgates. The Countess of Boulogne held the manor of Bockhampton (nos. 513 and xxxvi), assessed at 4 hides. According to Exon. Domesday there were 2 hides in demesne. VVilliam Belet held Frome Billet (no. 491), assessed at 3 hides. In 1285 Frome Billet, Frome Whitfield, Bradford Peverell, and Charminster lay in the hundred. 5' Bradford (no. 257), assessed at 17 hides, was held by William of William of Eu. This is probably the manor held of William of Eu by William Belet. Frome Whitfield was de baronia Winterborne St. Martin. Immediately following Martinstown in the Domesday survey is a manor called Frome (nos. 377 and cix) held bv ^^'illiam of the wife of Hugh. This may be Frome Whitfield. It was assessed at 4 hides. The Bishop of Salisbury held Charminster (no. 32), assessed at 10 hides, with 2 carucates in demesne. This brings the hidage of the hundred to 59 hides and i virgate. Bretel held Frome (no. 160), assessed at i hide, of the Count of Mortain and William held Frome (no. 154), assessed at 4 hides, of the same. Eyton identified these 2 manors as Frome Bonvile or Bomston, now represented by Bhonipston Farm in Stinsford. *- A woman held i\ hide in Cernel of the count (no. 153), and another woman held ih hide in Cernel of the Bishop of Salisbury (no. 50). Aiulf held il hide in Cerne of Milton Abbey (nos. 108 and Ixxxii). This brings the total to 68 hides, 3 virgates, 4' hides below the Geld Roll total. ■•« Rot. Hund. (Rec.

Inde habet rex xii libras et ix solidos et ix denarios pro xl et i hidis et dimidia et dimidia virga. Inde habent rex et sui barones in dominio xx et i hidas et virgam et dimi- diam. De isto dominicatu habet rex xi hidas de terra regine Mathildis et abbas Midehonensis x hidas et i virgam et dimidiam. In Modbury hundred there are 63 hides. Thence the king has ^12 9^. ()d. for 41! hides and J virgate. Thence the king and his barons have in demesne 21 hides and i i virgate. Of this demesne the king has 1 1 hides of Queen Maud's land and the Abbot of Milton 10 hides and li virgate. The queen had loi hides in demesne at Frome St. Quintin (nos. 15 and xxi), assessed at 13 hides. It later lay in the hundred of Tollerford,s3 but since the hundreds adjoin and the queen had no demesne in Toller- ford at this date the manor may then have lain in Modbury. Cattistock and Compton Abbas (West) lay in the hundred of Modbury in the 13th century. s-" Both manors belonged to Milton Abbey in 1086. Cattistock (nos. 96 and Ixix) was assessed at 10 hides with 3 hides in demesne and Compton Abbas (West) (nos. 95 and Ixviii) at 5 hides with 3 hides in demesne. In 1303 the hundred of Cerne, Totcombe, and Modbury, which consisted of the Domesday hundreds of Stane and Modbury, included Sydling St. Nicholas. =5 In 1086 this manor also was held by Milton Abbey (nos. 93 and Ixvii), and was assessed at 29 hides with 6 hides in demesne. This gives the abbey a total demesne of 12 hides, not 10 hides, i.^ virgate. Ansger held 5 hides in Sydling of the Count of Mortain (no. 174) and Amund held i hide in the same place of the count (no. 175). This brings the total hidage of the hundred to 63 hides, the Geld Roll figure. XXXIV. SHERBORNE HUNDRED In Sireburne hundret sunt Ixxv hide et dimidia (et XXV carucate). Inde habet rex x et viii libras et xii solidos et iiii denarios pro Ixii hidis. Inde habent episcopus et sui monachi in dominio xxv carrucatas que nunquam reddiderunt gildum et monachi habent in dominio ix hidas et i virgam et de i hida et i virga quas tenet Ansgerus quocus de dono regis non habuit rex geldum et de ii hidis et virga et dimidia quas tenent villani Osmundi episcopi non habuit rex geldum et de dimidia hida et dimidia virga quas tenet Sawarus de rege et habet eas in dominio non habuit rex gildum. In Sherborne hundred there are 75 J hides and 25 carucates. Thence the king has ;£i8 12^. 4(^.56 for 62 hides. Thence the bishop and his monks have in demesne 25 carucates which never paid geld and the monks have in demesne 9 hides and i virgate. And from I hide and i virgate which Ansger the cook holds of the king's gift the king did not have geld and from 2 hides and i.^ virgate which the villeins of Bishop Osmund hold the king did not have geld and from 1 hide and \ virgate which Saward holds of the king, and he has them in demesne, the king did not have geld. The demesne of the bishop and his monks was at the manor of Sherborne (no. 37), the head of the hundred, assessed at 43 hides, where the bishop held 16 and the monks 9.' carucates, making a total of 25' carucates. The rest of the monks' demesne lay at their 4 manors of Oborne, Thornford, Bradford Abbas, and Over Compton (nos. 38-41), all of which lay in this hundred in 1285." At Oborne, assessed at 5 hides, there were 2 hides in demesne, at Thornford, assessed at 7 hides, 3 hides in demesne, at Bradford Abbas, assessed at 10 hides, i.' hide in demesne, and at Over Compton, assessed at 6 hides, 3 virgates, i hide and 3 virgates in demesne, a total of 8 hides and 3 virgates, not 9 hides and i virgate as in the Geld Roll. Saward's only manor was Candele, possibly Stourton Caundle (no. 479), assessed at 2 J virgates. In 1212 Hervey de Candel had i hide in Sherborne hundred from which he paid id. a year aput Gellingeham, by the gift of King William. 58 The land of Ansger the cook presents difficulties. He does not appear in the Dorset i^urvey, but according to the Somerset survey he held i hide and i virgate in Compton, attached to the king's manor of Martock.s' Round identified this manor as Compton Durville and Eyton as Stapleton.*" Two vills called Compton lay in Sherborne hundred. Over Compton and Nether Compton. It is possible that Ansger's manor of Compton did in fact lie in Sherborne hundred, and was attached to the manor of Martock in Somerset, just as i \ hide in Purbeck was attached to the manor of Puddletown (nos. 8 and ii). Sinod held I hide at Sherborne (no. 37) which Alward had held of King Edward T.R.E. but which had previously belonged to the bishopric. This brings the total hidage of the hundred to 74 hides, 2! virgates, 3! virgates less than the total given in the Geld Roll. XXXV. FERENDONE HUNDRED In Ferendone hundret sunt xxx et vii hide. Inde habet rex iiii libras et xi solidos pro xv hidis et duabus partibus unius virge et rex et sui barones habent inde in dominio xx hidas (et) dimidiam (et 5' Inq. Non. (Rec.

Et de v virgis de terra Heroldi non habuit rex geldum. 3 hides and 3 virgates of Harold's land, and the Count of Mortain 6 hides and i virgate, and Baldwin the sheriff 4! hides and 1 virgate, and Waleran the huntsman 4 hides, and Osbern Giffard 2 hides. And from 5 virgates of Harold's land the king did not have geld. Harold's manor in this hundred must be Child Okeford (nos. 7 and i), assessed at 5 hides, with 3 hides in demesne. It lav in the hundred in 121 2.*' The Count of Mortain held 5 hides in Child Okeford (no. 152) and the manor of Hanford (no. 151), assessed at 4 hides, which also lay in the hundred in 1212. Baldwin, Sheriff of Devon, held onlv i manor in Dorset, Iwerne Courtney or Shroton (no. 316), assessed at 8 hides. It lay in Gillingham hundred at a later date, but was in Ferendone hundred in 1212.*- Sutton Waldron (no. 304), which was held bv Waleran in 1086, also lay in Ferendone hundred in 1212. It was assessed at 8 hides in 1086. Osbern Giffard's only manor in Dorset was Hill (Farm) (no. 318), assessed at 2 hides. Manston (no. 302), which Warenger held of Waleran, belonged to Gillingham hundred in 1285.^3 Ferendone became part of Gillingham hundred, and it is quite likely that Manston lay in Ferendone at this date. If so, this brings the total hidage to the Geld Roll figure of 37 hides. XXXVI. BUCKLAND HUNDRED In Bochene hundret sunt xxx et viiii (hide) una virga minus. Inde habet rex ix hbras xii denarios et i obolum minus pro xxx hidis i virga minus. [f-24] Inde habent barones regis in dominio vii hidas et dimidiam dimidiam virgam minus. De isto domini- catu habet Rainboldus (presbiter) ii hidas et Willel- mus de Braiosa ii hidas et Bolo presbiter iii hidas dimidiam virgam minus et rex dimidiam hidam de terra Heroldi. Et de dimidia hida et dimidia virga quas Rotbertus de Oilleio abstulit i tagno et posuit intra firmam regis in Melecoma non habuit rex geldum et de i hida quam tenet Walchelinus de comite de Moritonio non habuit rex geldum. In Buckland hundred there are 39 hides less i virgate. Thence the king has ^8 i8j. \i\d.^ for 30 hides less i virgate. Thence the king's barons have in demesne 7' hides less i virgate. Of this demesne Rainbald the priest has 2 hides, and William of Briouze 2 hides, and Bollo the priest 3 hides less ' virgate, and the king 1 hide of Harold's land. And from \ hide and \ virgate which Robert de Oilly took from a thegn and placed in the king's farm of Melcombe the king did not have geld and from i hide which Walchelin holds of the Count of Mortain the king did not have geld. Rainbald the priest had only i manor in Dorset, Poleham (no. 146), assessed at 10 hides, with 4 not 2 hides in demesne. In 1303 Henn,- de Glaun^yle held Glanvilles Wootton in this hundred of William de Brewes.*' William of Briouze held 2 manors in Glanvilles Wootton in 1086 (nos. 284, 285), assessed at 3 hides and 2 hides respectively. Both were held of him by Ralph. Bollo the priest's manor in this hundred must be !Mappowder (no. 431), assessed at 5 hides and 3 virgates, since Chickerell (no. 432) belonged to Cullifordtree hundred. The Count of Mortain held 3I virgates and 7 acres of Mappowder (no. 171). Perhaps this is the manor said to be held by Walchelin in the Geld Roll, though he does not appear as the count's tenant in the Domesday survey. Hugh held 3 virgates in Mappowder (no. 259) of William of Eu. The land which Robert de Oilly added to the king's manor of Bingham's Melcombe (no. 30) must be the 3i virgates in Buckland hundred attached to it. Domesdav, however, states that Countess Goda, who held the manor T.R.E., was responsible for the addition and that previously the land was held by 3 free thegns. Robert held Bingham's Melcombe and Hinton Martell (no. 31) at farm of the king.*'<> Earl Harold's land must be the i hide in Mapperton attached to Puddletown (nos. 8 and ii), although Mapperton lay in Loosebarrow hundred. Fifteen hides remain to be found. This is the hidage of Buckland Xewton (no. 65), the head of the hundred, belonging to Glastonbury Abbey. The abbot's demesne consisted of 8 ploughlands which never paid geld. XXXVII. CULLIFORDTREE HUNDRED In Cuferdestroue hundret sunt c et viiii hide.

Cadomensi non habuit rex geldum. The manor of the king in this hundred is probably Waia (nos. 22 and xxviii), which Hugh fitz Grip had held of the queen. It was assessed at 1 1 hide, the amount of his exempt demesne. The wife of Hugh held 2 manors called Waia (nos. 380 and cxii, 381 and cxiii),*' assessed respectively at 4 hides and i virgate, with 3 hides and 3 virgates in demesne, and 6 hides, with 4 hides and i virgate in demesne. These 2 manors account for 8 hides of her exempt demesne. She held 5 hides and 3 virgates in demesne at Wintreburne (nos. 384 and cxvi), assessed at 8 hides, and 3 hides and i virgate in demesne at Buckland Ripers (nos. 379 and cxi), assessed at 4 hides. Buckland Ripers lay in this hundred in 1285.*^ This gives her a total demesne of 17 not 16 hides. Fulcred held Waia (no. 364), assessed at 2! hides. Brictuin held 3 small manors which probably lay in this hundred, Waia (no. 433), assessed at 2 hides, Wintreburne (no. 434), assessed at i^- hide, and i virgate at Lewell (no. 435). The Abbot of Cerne had li hide in demesne at Radipole (nos. 78 and xli), assessed at 3 hides, and Bollo the priest's manor must be Chickerell (no. 432), assessed at 3 hides and I virgate, which lay in the hundred in 1285. The Abbot of St. Stephen, Caen, held the manor of Bincombe (no. 122), assessed at 8 hides with 5 hides in demesne. This must be the abbot's manor in this hundred, since the abbey's only other Dorset manor was Frampton, in Frampton hundred. The Geld Roll for Cullifordtree, however, credits the abbot with 7 hides and i virgate in demesne and 3 hides and i virgate held by his villani, a total of lol hides, which is 2i hides more than the total hidage of Bincombe. There were 2 hides attached to Frampton (no. 121), given by Queen Maud, which do not seem to have lain in Frampton hundred; they may have lain in Cullifordtree. The Countess of Boulogne held the manor of Winterborne Monkton (nos. 514 and xxxvii), assessed at 6 hides, although Exon. Domesday gives the hidage in demesne as 4.\ hides. William Belet's manor in this hundred must be Winterborne Belet (no. 493), assessed at zi hides, which lay in the hundred in 1285.'' It was held T.R.E. by 2 thegns, i of whom is presumably the man holding of William at farm in the Geld Roll. The Abbot of Milton held Osmington (nos. 99 and Ixxii), assessed at 10 hides with 4 hides in demesne, and Whitcombe (nos. 100 and Ixxiii), assessed at 6 hides with 4 hides in demesne. Both belonged to the hundred in 1285.'° This gives him a total demesne of 8 hides, not 7 hides and \ virgate. Hugh Gosbert's manor must be his 3 virgates in Lewell (no. 492). William of Ecouis's manor must be West Knighton (no. 298), assessed at 6 hides, since Stourton Caundle (no. 299), his only other manor, belongs to Brownshall hundred. Peter, Bishop of Chester, died before the Domesday survey, and is not mentioned in the Dorset section of Domesday." The hide of land which he held cannot be identi- fied. The manor which Robert fitz Ivo held of the Count of Mortain is probably Stafford (no. 155), assessed at 3 hides, or Wai (no. 164), assessed at 3 hides, 3 virgates. Stafford lay in the hundred in 1385. Part of it was held in 1086 by Hugh and William of the wife of Hugh fitz Grip (nos. 383 and cxv). It was assessed at 6 hides. Dodeman held 2 hides at Wai (no. 162) of the Count of Mortain and Amun held 4 hides at Wai (no. 163) of the same. Holwell (no. 165) lay in the hundred in 1275.''- In 1086 it was assessed at 2 hides, and held by Bretel of the Count of Mortain. The 3 small manors in Brigam or Brige, identified by Fiigersten as the lost village of Bridge^^ near Weymouth, must have lain in this hundred. One virgate was held by Aiulf (no. 348), I virgate by Hugh of the wife of Hugh fitz Grip (nos. 393 and cxxvi), and i virgate by Brictuin (no. 465). This brings the total hidage to 96 hides and 2I virgates. The remaining manors in the hundred must be sought for among the Winterbornes, but it is not possible to tell which manors of that name should lie in Cullifordtree and which in Combsditch.

Fagersten does not mention this manor, A HISTORY OF DORSET The manor of the Abbey of St. Stephen, Caen, is Frampton itself (no. 121), assessed at 25 1 hides. The Domesday surv'ey gives the demesne as 9I not 13 hides. There were 2 hides attached to the manor which do not seem to have lain in this hundred. They were probably in Cullifordtree hundred with the abbey's manor of Bincombe (no. 122). Hugh de Port had only i manor in Dorset, Compton Valence (no. 357), assessed at 10 hides. It paid geld in Tollerford hundred. This gives a total of 352 not 35 hides. The abbey was said to hold io.\ hides of land in Cullifordtree hundred. Bincombe was assessed at 8 hides; with the 2 hides of land attached to Frampton there is still .' hide remaining. It is odd that the abbey should have i hide too little in one hundred and J hide too much in another. XXXIX. LODERS HUNDRED In Lodre hundret sunt xx hide.

DOMESDAY These summaries, relating to the manors of certain tenants-in-chief in the five south- western counties, are entered at the end of Exon. Domesday. The entries include the Dorset manors of Glastonbur}^ Abbey and Robert fitz Ceroid, translated below.^-* [f-527b] Ecclesia Glastiniensis habet ii mansiones dominicas The church of Glastonbun,' has 2 demesne manors in in Dorseta de xxii hidis et iii virgis et dimidia.

Notes (i) The abbey of Glastonburj' had 6 manors in Dorset in 1086, i of which was held by the king. In demesne the abbot had 10 hides at Sturminster Ne\\ton (no. 63) and 5 hides, 2i virgates, at Buckland Newton (no. 65). In addition he had in demesne land for 14 ploughs que nunquam geldavit at Sturminster Newton, and land for 8 ploughs que nunquam geldavit at Buckland Newton. These non-gelding teamlands are presumably the 22 carucates of the summary. The abbot had 43 villani, 40 bordars, and 32 cottars (the 72 bordars), 13 coliberts, and 19 servi. As the account of Sturminster Newton does not give the number of ploughs in demesne and among the men these totals cannot be checked. The value of the land in demesne amounted to Ias- (2) Two manors, Okeford Fitzpaine (no. 64) and Woodyates (no. 66), were held in entirety by Norman tenants. Okeford was divided between the wife of Hugh, Alvred of Epaignes,^' and Chetel; Woodyates was '■• See also V.C.H. Wilts, ii. 218, 220, 221. the Geld Roll for Hunesberge hundred shows that he was " The Domesday survey calls him simply Alvred, but Alvred of Epaignes. 148 DORSET GELD ROLLS held by the wife of Hugh. Their joint hidage amounted to 12 hides. The abbot's knights held 8 hides at Sturminster Newton, divided between Waleran, Roger, and Chetel. Goscelm the king's cook also held 4 hides at Sturminster Newton and the wife of Hugh 7 hides and 1 1 virgate at Buckland Newton. These manors and parts of manors amount to 31 hides, i^ virgate, as stated in the summary. Since the account of the knights' 8 hides at Sturminster Newton does not mention either peasantry or ploughs, the figures cannot be checked. Neither can the joint value be checked, since the land of Hugh's wife at Buckland Newton was valued jointly with that of Warmund, who must be i of the 2 thegns mentioned. Warmund held 2 hides at Buckland and Ulviet held Colway (no. 68), assessed at 3 hides, and held it T.R.E. also. Five hides is the amount mentioned in the summary as being held by the 2 thegns. The joint value for the land of the thegns and knights in the summary is £^3 i°^- The total value of all the subinfeudated land in Domesday is ^^34 los. (3) As stated in the summary, there is land for 105 ploughs on the 5 manors of Sturminster Newton, Okeford Fitzpaine, Buckland Newton, Woodyates, and Colway.

Notes (i) Robert fitz Ceroid had 4 manors in Dorset (nos. 239-42) and 10 manors in Wiltshire. One of his Wiltshire manors had been held pro ii maneriis T.R.E., and of his manors in Dorset, Corfe Mullen was held by Wada and Egelric T.R.E., Leigh was held by 2 thegns T.R.E., and Ranston by 2 brothers in parage T.R.E. If each of these 3 manors was counted as 2 then the figure of 18 manors given in the summary would be correct. (2) The total hidage of Robert's Dorset and Wiltshire manors was 77 hides and 2.\ virgates, approxi- mating to the 77 hides of the summary, and there was land for 59I not 54.' ploughs. Robert had •][. hides in demesne at Corfe Mullen and a total of 28 hides and i virgate in demesne in Wiltshire, considerably more than the 28 hides and 3 virgates given in the summary. The total value of these manors is ^84 ids., as in the summary. (3) The 2 manors of Robert fitz Ceroid in Somerset were assessed at 15 hides, with land for 22 ploughs, 6 hides being in demesne. The total value T.R.E. was ^^28. In 1086 Charlton Musgrove rendered ^6, and the other manor 100 cheeses and 10 bacons. (4) The combined assessment of Robert's manors in the 3 counties is 92 hides, zh virgates, which 81 i ploughs could plough. The total value of the manors in 1086 was £()0 los., i of the Somerset manors not being valued in money. The total demesne in the Exchequer text was 41 hides, 3 virgates, not 38 hides, 3 virgates. 149 Kl INDEX OF PERSONS AND PLACES IN THE DOMESDAY SURVEY AND THE GELD ROLLS 'No[s].' followed by arabic numerals indicates entries in the translation of the Exchequer text of the Dorset Domesday.
