BARNEBY in the WILLOWS.

Here was belonging to Newark, of the Bishop of Lincolne's Fee, as much as answered the Tax or Dane-geld for two Bovats ½. But the chief Part of this Town, was the Fee of Odo Bishop of Bayeux; which Manor was Ulurics, (fn. 1) before the Conquest, and was charged to the Dane-geld, the Tax then usually paid, at or according to seven Bov. The Land of it being then for three Ploughs, or three Car.

There was a Priest and a Church, in which lay Half a Bov. of this Land, and one Mill 5s. 4d. and thirty Acres of Meadow and a small Wood. All this kept the Value it had in the Time of Edward, the Confessor, viz. 40s.
