Here was some of the Soc of Newark, the Fee of Remigius Bishop of Lincolne, which discharged itself to the Tax for one Bov. ½ but besides that in Sireston, were three Manors, one of the Fee of Earl Allan of Richmond, which Alyric had before, and paid for it to the Public Tax for three Bovats, (fn. 1) The Land of it was a Carucat and an half, with three Sochmen had. There were twelve Acres of Meadow. Robert (de Musters) held it of Earl Alan. It had been 40s. Value, but was then fallen to 20s.

Another was of the Fee of Berengarius de Todeni, which Sbernecroc had before the Conquest, and paid for it to the Dane-geld as two Bov. ½. The Land was one Car. Goduvin held it of Berenger, and there had one Car. one Sochm. two Vill. with half a Car. There was ten Acres of Meadow. This in the Confessor's Time was 30s. Value, then but 20s.

The Family of Mustiers had the Richmond Fee, whereof I find Galfr. de Mustiers, who, 6 Joh (fn. 2) gave account of fifty Marks, for having to Wife Amicia de Sablello, with her Land.

I do not find that the said John de Sutton, had any Issue by her (though some Pedigrees seem to affirm it,) but have seen a Note of Mr. George Lassells, his Hand, to the contrary.

(fn. 9) There was a Fine also at Nottingham, 3 E. 3. between Robert de Syreston, and Emme his Wife, Quer. and Robert, Son of John de Eyleston, Deforc. of four Mess. six Bov. and the third Part of a Bovat of Land eighteen Acres of Meadow 7s. 2d. and two Geese Rent, with the Appurtenances in Syreston and Gypesmere, which were thereby settled on the said Robert and Emme for their Lives, and after on Thomas, Son of Robert de Syreston, and Avicia his Wife, and the Heirs of their bodies; remainder to Simon, Brother of the said Thomas, and the Heirs of his body; Remainder to Nicholas another Brother, and the Heirs of his; Remainder to Richard in like manner; Remainder to the Right Heirs of the said Robert de Syreston.

William Hammond had a good Freehold here, which is now William his Son's.

I suppose this Town is in Stoke Parish, for the Vicar comes and serves the Cure here.

This place, which Thorton judges to be in the parish of Stoke, is small. The chapel is also small with a little tower. Not an inscription in it.
