KALENDUNA [Kelvedon (Hatch) *], which was held by Leueva as I hide and 45 acres and as I manor, is held of Hamo by Ralf. And Hamo says that he has that land as part of his fief (in suo feuda). Then 2 villeins ; now i. Then 2 bordars ; now 7. Then 2 serfs ; now I. Then 2 ploughs on the demesne; now i^. Then the men had i plough among them ; now a half.

Then 553~5) which suggests thas he held other land there. The presence or absence of the initial ' N ' is of little consequence in Domesday. 1 Kelvedon Hatch adjoins Navestock, and is separated to the north from Norton Mandeville (the subject of the next entry) by Stondon Marci (now corruptly ' Massey '). I believe this Stondon (which is said not to be mentioned in Domesday) was comprised in the above ' Kalenduna' entry. It is difficult to trace any succession to Hamo or his tenants at Kelvedon or Norton ; but this remark, one must add, applies also to Stondon, though its suffix ' Marci ' seems decisive. This virtually identifies the Gotil,' ' Got!,' or 'Gotild' of these entries with the ' Godid quedem femina ' who had given half a hide at Norton to the canons of St. Paul's since the coming of King William (see p. 443 above). fo. 566 as now (semper) 1 6 bordars.
