NOTE
The reader should bear in mind throughout that the date of the Domesday Survey is 1086; that King Edward, to whose time it refers as 'T. R. E.' i.e. 'tempore Regis Edwardi,' died January 5, 1066; that the 'hide' was the unit of assessment on which the (Dane) geld was paid; that its subdivisions were: the 'virgate,' one-quarter of the hide; the 'ferling' (farthing), one-quarter of the virgate; and the acre, of which 120 went to one hide. The 'demesne' was the lord's portion of the manor, the peasantry holding the rest under him.
The Rev. J. Collinson prefixed to his History of the County, published in 1791, a copy of the Exchequer Domesday, with an index giving the modern names of places. On the whole the index quite deserves the praise bestowed upon it by the Rev. R. W. Eyton in his Analysis and Digest of the Somerset Survey (according to the Exon codex) and of the Geld Inquest of 1084, 2 vols., 1880. In this latter work the manors are arranged under the Hundreds mainly by means of clues afforded by a close study of the Geld Inquest. The identifications include nearly every manor mentioned, and correct not a few of Collinson's suggestions. In 1899 the present writer printed (Som. Arch. Proc. XLV. ii. 51) an analysis of the Survey arranged to show the prevalence of manors, single or grouped, containing a unit or multiple of five hides. In working it out he availed himself of the immense mass of additional information contained in the Somerset Record Society's volumes, of articles in the Som. and Dors. Notes and Queries, as well as of the six-inch maps of the Ordnance Survey. In 1902, the Rev. T. W. Whale issued an analysis of the Exeter codex and the Geld Inquest. A number of the identifications in the following pages are based upon corrections made therein. But even now finality has not yet been reached. The sites of manors long since obsolete are brought to light quite unexpectedly, and references in early records, by enabling the descent of manors bearing the same name to be accurately distinguished, give clues which eventually carry back their history to Domesday.
