(There is) land for as many ploughs. They are waste except for 1 1 villeins and 1 7 bordars who have 6| ploughs. There (are) 25 acres of meadow. M. In PEVREWIC [Parwich] there are 2 carucates of land (assessed) to the geld. (There is) land for 2 ploughs. It is waste. Colne holds it of the king and has there 6 villeins and 2 bordars with 3 ploughs. There (are) 12 acres of meadow. To this manor belong three berewicks : ELLESHOPE [Alsop le Dale], HANZEDONE [Hanson Grange], EITUNE [Cold Eaton], There are 2 carucates of land (assessed) to the geld. (There is) land for 2 ploughs. It is waste. MESTESFORDE [Matlock Bridges], WERCHE- SUORDE [Wirksworth], ESSEBURNE [Ash- bourne] and PEVREWIC [Parwich] with their berewicks rendered in King Edward's time 32 pounds and 6 sestiers of honey ; now (they render) 40 pounds of pure (purt) * silver. M. & B. In WALETUNE [Walton-upon- Trent] and REDLAUESTUN [Rosliston] Earl Algar 6 had 6 carucates of land (assessed) to the geld. (There is) land for 7 ploughs. There the king has 2 ploughs in demesne ; and 3 soch- men and 33 villeins and 10 bordars who have 1 2 ploughs. There (is) a church and a priest and i mill (rendering) 6 shillings and 8 pence and 40 acres of meadow. Wood(land), for 1 See note 6, p. 330. 8 The assessment here seems very artificial. Wirksworth with its berewicks is rated at 2 1 caru- cates (3 + 1 8), which is exactly the sum reached by the combined assessment of Ashbourne and its berewicks (3 + 14 carucates) and Parwich and its berewicks (2 + 2 carucates). Further the joint as- sessment of the two adjacent manors of Darley and Matlock stands at 12 carucates (and 2 bovates), so that the complete group of five manors would seem to have been rated as a whole at 54 caru- cates. This instance is of importance as it seems to carry the application of the ' six carucate unit ' to the royal demesne well beyond the Conquest. s See note 3, p. 330. 6 Son of Leofric; Earl of Mercia 1057-65; father of the Earl Edwin who held Doveridge and Edlaston. pannage in places, 7 furlongs in length and 5 furlongs in breadth.

(There is) land for 1 2 ploughs. (This is assessed) to the geld (as) 8 carucates and 2 bovates. 11 I This entry stands in the margin. 7 Either Domesday is in error or we have here an instance of 'notional mobility,' for these six places are all contained in the angle made by the Trent and Derwent south of Derby, a district which is now divided among several wapentakes, but in any case is separated from Scarsdale Wapen- take by that of Morleston and Litchurch. 8 This sum is interlined. 9 Now represented by Cottons Farm in Nor- manton parish. 10 This sum is interlined in place of ' car' vj barf ' deleted. II It will be noted that the figures here, which amount to 7 carucates, 6J bovates do not agree with the total as given by Domesday. 331
