The king has 509 pounds of his geld from Somerset (paid) in his treasury at Winchester; and the men who brought it to Winchester have had 40 shillings for their maintenance (conregio); and they paid 9 shillings and 8 pence to waggoners (saginarii) employed (conducendos), and to a scribe, and for coverings (forellos) bought, and wax. And the king has not (been paid) 51 shillings and 3 pence which the bearers of the geld have received, but for which they cannot give any account. They have given security that these monies will be paid to the king's officers (legati).

This heading is misleading, as only the first two entries refer to him. In the margin of the Exchequer Domesday at this point is a *, with a similar mark on the next leaf at the heading 'Land of Humphrey and others.' In the Exeter Domesday the heading of XLV. is 'Lands of the King's serjeants in Somerset.'

Footnotes

  • 1. John Fitzhamon son of Haimo, a tenant of the Count at Buckhorn Weston in Dorset, gave the church of Charlton Adam to Bruton Priory during the episcopate of Bishop Robert, 1142–1166 (Bruton Cart. 180 seq.; S.R.S. viii. 41; Historic No tes on South Somerset, by J. Batten, pp. 142–5).
  • 2. Exet. Dom. states : 'Reginald holds 4½ hides of the count ; in demesne 2, and 2½ held by the villeins.' The ½ hide wanting is not mentioned again.
  • 3. The three manors of this name, all being held of the Count, can be differentiated. The largest, held by the Count himself, is East Chinnock, as his son gave it to the monks of Montacute. The Chinnock held by Malger de Cartrai came, like so much of his property, to Vaux of Ashill. Will. de Albemarle held Middle Chinnock of the fee of Ashill in 1289 (Inq. p.m. W. de A., 17 Edw. I. 22). The third Chinnock held by Alred is therefore West Chinnock. Alred also held Chiselborough, and the two villages have always been closely connected.
  • 4. Exet Dom. : 'Edmaratorus.'
  • 5. Exet. Dom.: '6.'
  • 6. Exet. Dom. has as an alternative reading : 'three.'
  • 7. Part is in Camerton.
  • 8. Exet. Dom. reads : 'Goderona.'
  • 9. Exet. Dom.: '16.'
  • 10. Exet. Dom. reads rectius : 'Babakari.'
  • 11. Exet. Dom. reads rectius : 'Fodintona.'
  • 12. May be identified by its position in the schedule with Goathill, near Milborne Port.
  • 13. Exet. Dom.: '25.'
  • 14. Exet. Dom. reads : 'The villeins have a virgate' but does not give their numbers.
  • 15. The name of Bishopston disappeared, and was supplanted by Montacute.
  • 16. This entry in the Exchequer Domesday is entered at the bottom of fol. 93a. after the lands of Baldwin of Exeter. Its right place, as in the Exet. Dom., is between Chilthorne Domer and Montacute.
  • 17. Exet. Dom. reads : ' Rogo son of Nigel.'
  • 18. Exet. Dom. reads : 'one.'
  • 19. Exet. Dom.: '23.'
  • 20. Exet. Dom. adds 1 ferling for the bordar, making a total of 2 virgates.
  • 21. Dodisham. in Cannington is mentioned in the will of Richard Michell, proved 1563–4 (F. Brown, Som. Wills, vi. 3). It is now obsolete.
  • 22. Suindune. William de Horsya did homage for his land of 'Swindon' to William Avenell, c. 1220 (Som. Arch. Proc. xliii. ii. 85). It might be Swang farm in Charlinch parish, but close to Cannington.
  • 23. Now obsolete. In Kirby's Quest, 1284, Alan de Furrell holds in South Petherton Hundred Knolle, Worth and Sregham (sic) for 1 fee of Hugh de Poinz, representative through Mallet of Roger de Corcello. In the Inq. p.m. of Nicholas Poyntz, 5 Edw. II. 62, Matthew Esse holds of him in Knoll, Worth, and 'Hillegh.' This last is the 'Illege' of Domesday, now Ely on the borders of Knowle and Chard.
  • 24. 'Chaffcombe and Illey.' Subsidy Roll for Som. 13 Henry IV. (Bath Field Club Report, 1900).
  • 25. Exet. Dom. reads recte: 'Lopena.'
  • 26. Exet. Dom. has: 'Geoffrey has 1 virg. and 1 bordar, who pays to him 7 shillings and 6 pence. The 3 virgates which William holds pay him 25 shillings.
  • 27. Exet. Dom. reads: '2 shillings and 6 pence.'
  • 28. Exet. Dom. gives the villeins ½ plough only.
  • 29. The next entry shows that the church of S. Peter is that of Muchelney Abbey.
  • 30. Exet. Dom. has: 'In demesne 1 ferling and half a plough, and the villeins have half a plough and 1 ferling.'
  • 31. Exet. Dom. reads: 'half a plough.'
  • 32. Exet. Dom. reads: '7 shillings and 6 pence.'
  • 33. Exet. Dom. divides the plough between the demesne and the villeins.
  • 34. Exet. Dom. reads: '7 shillings and 6 pence.'
  • 35. This place-name, though quite obsolete now, is mentioned in a charter of William I., by which Banwell was confirmed to Bishop Giso (Som. Arch. Proc. xxiii. ii. 56). It appears to have been upon the extreme west or north-west side of the parish (Rev. C. S. Taylor). As 'Ponteside juxta Bannewelle' it occurs in a Final Concord of 1318 (Ped. Fin. 2 Edw. II., 28).
  • 36. Exet. Dom. reads: '17 shillings and 6 pence. When Roger received it, 10 shillings.'
  • 37. Exet. Dom. gives the figures for 2 manors separately. In that formerly Almar's the villeins have 2 ploughing oxen (boves in carr').
  • 38. Exet. Dom.: 'Stochi.'
  • 39. Exet. Dom. gives the 2 holdings separately.
  • 40. This entry is in the margin of the Exeter Domesday.
  • 41. Exet. Dom.: '25.'
  • 42. Exet. Dom. reads: 'Derstona.'
  • 43. Sanford. This place, though owned by Arundel, is not Sampford Arundel in Milverton Hundred, but Sandford in Wembdon. In 1284 it was held by Robert Fitzpayn, who succeeded to much of Arundel's property.
  • 44. Exet. Dom. gives the villeins 1 plough.
  • 45. Exet. Dom. has: 'molinus qui molit annonam suam.' A mill which yielded nothing beyond doing the work of the manor-house.
  • 46. Exet. Dom. adds: 'T.R.E. this was held by a widow who could not be separated from the manor. In demesne are half a hide and 1 plough.'
  • 47. Interlined; Exet. Dom. reads: 'Boiscellus.'
  • 48. In Exet. Dom.: 'Walscin de Duaco.'
  • 49. Refers probably to the mouths of the Parret and Brue, in which case this is Downend, at one time a borough with provosts and a chapel (Som. Pleas, No. 229 and note; S.R.S. xi. 52; Cal. Anc. Deeds, C. 2779).
  • 50. Perhaps the vill of 'Crosse juxta Bokelond' in Durston; Ped. Fin. 15 R. II. 23; S.R.S. xvii. 23.
  • 51. Alwarditone. In 1284 (Kirby's Quest) as 'Alewartun,' held of Hugh Lovel by Richard de Cunteville; and can thence be traced down to the modern Chapel-Allerton. Stone Allerton may be the 'addita' (Proc. Som. Arch. Soc. xlv. ii. 25).
  • 52. Exet. Dom.: '105.'
  • 53. Exet. Dom. adds: 'and 8 bordars.'
  • 54. This entry occurs on the bottom of plate xix. col. a. of the photozincograph copy of Exchequer Domesday, and is evidently an addition. In the Exeter Domesday it comes immediately after Worle. After the entry of Worle in the Exchequer codex there is a small space which seems to have been intended for the 'Middeltone' entry.
  • 55. Exet. Dom. adds: '6 cottars.'
  • 56. Exet. Dom.: 'Raimar.'
  • 57. Exet. Dom.: 'Ramar.'
  • 58. Exet. Dom. adds: '3 cottars.'
  • 59. Exet. Dom.: 'Rcinewal.'
  • 60. In 1284 (Kirby's Quest) one moiety of this vill was held of the Bishop of Salisbury, and the other of the Barony of Hugh Lovel of Cary.
  • 61. Ecewiche. There are also places called Wick in Mark. Putting aside Chilcompton and Harptree, this notice comes in the schedule between Breane and Alston Maris in Huntspil.
  • 62. Exet. Dom.: 'Ramar.'
  • 63. Exet. Dom. adds: ' potuerunt ire ad quemlibet dominum.'
  • 64. Exet. Dom. inserts: 'Roger has 1 h. and 1 virg. in demesne and 4 oxen, and the villeins have 1 virg. and 4 oxen.'
  • 65. In Kirby's Quest, 'Codecombe.' In the Geld Inquest of 1084' Codecoma ' appears as the name of a Hundred. ' Udicome' is apparently a misreading for 'Codecome,' which is not found in Domesday.
  • 66. Exet. Dom. : 'and 10 shillings.'
  • 67. Exet. Dom. : '1½.'
  • 68. Ulvretune. As 'Ulftuna', 'addita' of South Cadbury, called Wolferton in the Inq. p.m. Will. Montagu 13 Edw. II. 31, is Woolston; and 'Ulmerstone' becomes Woolmersdon; so 'Ulvretune' may be Woolston in Bicknoller. Agnes of Windsor, relict of the lord of Bicknoller, seems to have held land at ' Wulureston' under the lord of Dunster in 1236 (Ped. Fin. 20 H. III. S.R.S. vi. 85).
  • 69. The single virgate belonging to the King as of the manor of Williton must be the one virgate in 'Pirtochesworda,' noted in the Geld Inquest of Williton Hundred as rendering no geld, held by Dodeman and Richard (the verb being in the singular). The name is obsolete
  • 70. Exet. Dom. reads '4 virgates.' The Exchequer text has 'iij' altered to 'iiji', and 'virg' has been changed to 'hid' but without changing the numeral from 4 to 1.
  • 71. Exet. Dom. reads: 'qui molit annonam suam.'
  • 72. Holeford. Now Holford St. Mary, which in 1284 (Kirby's Quest) was in the Hundred of Whitley, and was held of Mohun by Furneaux.
  • 73. Exet. Dom. : '104.'
  • 74. Exet. Dom. reads: 'iiii animalia in carr.'
  • 75. Exet. Dom. reads: 'molinus qui molit annonam suam.'
  • 76. Although occasionally mentioned, this place has hitherto defied identification. William de Mohun gave it to Cleeve Abbey. Schortmanesford and Durborough (in Stogursey) are mentioned in a Final Concord of 1256 (Ped. Fin. 40 Hen. III. 168). Shortmannesford appears in a list of knights' fees on the north side of Quantock held by John de Nevill of Essex (Ped. Fin. 32 Edw. III. 570, divers counties. S.R.S. xvii. 185).
  • 77. Exet. Dom. states the virgate with the half plough to be in demesne.
  • 78. Exet. Dom. reads: 'pariter.'
  • 79. In 1278 Adam and Joan Lysewys held a life interest in Stokelinch of John de Beauchamp (Ped. Fin. 6 Edw. I. 30). John de Beauchamp held property in 'Stockelinche' of John de Mohun, lord of Dunster (Inq. p.m. John de B., 17 Edw. III. 58).
  • 80. Held in 1284 (Kirby's Quest) by Malet and Pyn of John de Mohun. Although in the parish of Bishop's Lydeard in the Hundred of Kingsbury West, it was reckoned as part of Taunton Dean Hundred.
  • 81. Exet. Dom. rectius: ' Nonin.'
  • 82. In the entry in Roger de Corcelle's schedule the figure is set down as ' 2 ', and so in the Exet. Dom. in both schedules.
  • 83. Exet. Dom. rectius: 'Ciretona.'
  • 84. Exet. Dom. reads: '3 oxen.'
  • 85. The transcriber has mistaken the v in Moion's number xxv for i, and in consequence numbers wrongly to the end.
  • 86. Exet. Dom. reverses the values.
  • 87. Exet. Dom. misreads carr' for hides.
  • 88. Exet. Dom: 'mansuræ terræ.'
  • 89. Exet. Dom.: 'potuit ire ad quemlibet dominum.'
  • 90. In Exchequer Dom. there is a gap here.
  • 91. Exet. Dom.: 'potuerunt ire ad quemlibet dominum.'
  • 92. This has been identified with Rapps, a hamlet on the borders of Ilton, Ashill and Broadway. It appears as 'Apse' in the Assize Rolls of 1242–3 (Som. Pleas, No. 1184, S.R.S. xi.), and 'Lapse,' or 'Les Apses.' In Nom. Villar. it is the hamlet of 'Apse ' in Broadway.
  • 93. Word omitted in both Domesday books.
  • 94. The statistics of the Hundred of Milborne, now Horethorne, in the Geld Inquest cannot be made complete without the inclusion of a large manor.
  • 95. See Eyton, Som. Dom. i. 185.
  • 96. Libere; Exet. Dom. reads 'pariter.'
  • 97. Exet. Dom. gives the villeins half a virgate.
  • 98. Exet. Dom. rectius: 'Ledich.'
  • 99. The Exet. Dom. divides the 2 holdings, and assigns all the stock and the woodland to Walter, as Ansger had no part in demesne. The figures after the tenants' names are interlineations.
  • 100. Exet. Dom. has 'ad honorem.'
  • 101. Exet. Dom. rectius : 'Estropa.'
  • 102. Exet. Dom. reads: 'poterat sibi eligere dominum secundum voluntatem suam cum terra sua.'
  • 103. Exet. Dom.: 'pariter.'
  • 104. 'Preter has terras additas quas superius commemoravi.'
  • 105. Exet. Dom. reads: '4 oxen.'
  • 106. Exet. Dom. reads: 'pariter.'
  • 107. 'Stocca' may be a part of Beechenstoke, now obsolete, as in 1326 fees in Morton and 'Bytthgnestoke' were held of Will. Fitzwilliam Martin, who succeeded to much of Serlo de Burci's holding (Inq. p.m. 19 Edw. II. 100).
  • 108. Exet. Dom. reads: 'pariter.'
  • 109. Exet. Dom. adds: 'in demesne half a hide and half a plough, and the villeins have half a hide and half a plough.'
  • 110. Exet. Dom. reads: '30.'
  • 111. Exet. Dom. adds: 'the bordars have 1 ferling.'
  • 112. Exet. Dom. gives details of each holding.
  • 113. Exet. Dom. rectius: 'Telma.'
  • 114. Exet. Dom. designates him throughout: 'Vicecomes.'
  • 115. Exet. Dom. reads: '1 domus in Bada quæ reddit per annum vii denarios et 1 obolum et alia mansura in eodem burdo vacua.'
  • 116. Tumbeli. The first letter is a phonetic affix as in 'Telme' for Elm, and 'Tetesberge' for Adsborough. 'Ubbeli' appears in 1212 (Ped. Fin. 14 John III. S.R.S. vi. 28).
  • 117. Exet. Dom. reads: '1½ hides.'
  • 118. The number of the heading is corrected at this point.
  • 119. This last par. in Exet. Dom. runs: 'potuerunt ire adquemlibet dominum.'
  • 120. Exet. Dom. rectius: 'Cari.'
  • 121. This paragraph is entered in the margin.
  • 122. Exet. Dom. reads: 'sacerdos de ecclesia istius villæ.'
  • 123. Including the priest's share.
  • 124. Exet. Dom. adds: 'who have 2 ploughing oxen.'
  • 125. Exet. Dom.: 'focarius.'
  • 126. Exet. Dom.: 'Anglorum Tegnorum.'
  • 127. Exet. Dom. reads vi. for iii.
  • 128. Exet. Dom. reads: '6.'
  • 129. Although Wellington does seem to have given name to a Hundred (Eyton, Som. Dom. ii. 10), at this period it belonged to Bishop Giso's land, and afterwards to Kingsbury West, so it is probably a slip for Williton.
  • 130. Exet. Dom. reads: 'qui molit annonam suam.'
  • 131. The sole instance of this formula in the county.
  • 132. Exet. Dom.: '3 villeins and 8 bordars.'
  • 133. Exet. Dom.: '4 oxen.'
  • 134. Libere, so also in Exet. Dom.
  • 135. Exet. Dom. rectius: 'Haltona.'
  • 136. Exet. Dom.: 'pariter.'
  • 137. Exet. Dom. adds: 'All this land has been added to the lands of Bristrit to which it did not belong.'
  • 138. Exet. Dom.: '15.'
  • 139. Collinson suggested Warley in Bathford. 'Herleia' was purchased from 'Hugelin cum barba' by Bp. John de Villula in 1106 and given to the Abbey of Bath (S.R.S. vii. i. 53). Eyton's identification with Woolley cannot be correct, as the latter belonged to the Abbey of Wherwell.
  • 140. Exet. Dom. reverses the values.
  • 141. Tenuit. Exet. Dom. reads 'emit,' which explains why the king's leave was mentioned.
  • 142. Exet. Dom. reads 'sacerdote.'
  • 143. For 'olim' Exet. Dom. reads: 'quando accepit ad firmam de rege.'
  • 144. Two nuns held 2½ virgates at Honecote.
  • 145. Eyton reckons 129 hides 3 virgates.
  • 146. rectius, '23.'
  • 147. The text of this Hundred has disappeared in part, and in several places is apparently corrupt. The sum received by the king, at 6 shillings to the hide, would give an area 33 hides short of the total required to complete the Hundred. I have therefore followed Eyton in reading 23 for 13 pounds. The total area of the different manors in this Hundred according to the identifications adopted in the translation amounts to 130 hides 3 virgates.
  • 148. rectius, 14, as below.
  • 149. recte, 37.
  • 150. i.e. Maltravers.
  • 151. Also a 'half' marked for cancellation.
  • 152. The total is complete without this.
  • 153. For 1 hide and 1 virgate read 1 hide and 3 virgates, which was William de Moione's demesne at Broomfield in this Hundred.
  • 154. This figure makes the sum total too large; it is corrected by the amount of the arrears, 84 shillings, which at 6 shillings for each hide gives 14 hides instead of 15.
  • 155. The items give a total of 137 hides only.
  • 156. Malger written over Roger.
  • 157. A clerical error for hide.
  • 158. Lambert held 1 hide in Lovington, but there is nothing in Domesday as to its being the holding annexed to the office of collector of the geld. 'Tenementum' apparently means the fee which he set off against the payment due from his holding.
  • 159. These two form the modern hundred of Whitley.
  • 160. Two ferlings are not accounted for.
