A HISTORY OF LANCASHIRE In each hide there are 6 carucates of land. The whole is worth 8 pounds and 12 shillings. And the demesne of this manor which Roger held is worth 8 pounds. There are now in demesne there 3 ploughs and 6 oxherds and 1 radman and 7 villeins.

In [Newton in Makerfield] there were 5 hides, T.R.E. Of these 1 was in demesne. The church of that manor had 1 carucate of land, and St. Oswold of that vill (Winwick) had 2 carucates of land quit in all (things) (per omnia).

The other land of this manor 15 men who were called drengs (drenchs) held as 15 manors, but they were berewicks of this manor, and between (them) all they rendered 30 shillings. The wood(land) there (is) 10 leagues long and 6 leagues and 2 furlongs broad, and there (are) eyries of hawks.

The freemen of this hundred, except 2, were subject to the same customs (erant in eadem consuetudine) as the men of [West Derby], and in addition (plus) to those they reaped on two days in August in the king's cornfields (culturis). Those two (men) had 5 carucates of land and the forfeiture of bloodshed, and of an outraged woman (femine violentiam passe), and the pannage (pasnagium) of their own men. The king had the other (forfeitures). This whole manor used to pay in rent (de firma) to the king 10 pounds and 10 shillings.

Now there are there 6 drengs (drenghs) and 12 villeins and 4 bordars. Between (them) all they have 9 ploughs. This demesne is worth 4 pounds.

King Edward held [Warrington] with 3 berewicks. There (is) 1 hide. To that manor used to belong 34 drengs, and they had as many manors, in which there were 42 carucates of land and 1½ hide. Saint Elfin held 1 carucate of land quit from every due except geld. The whole manor with the hundred used to pay in farm (de firma) to the king 15 pounds, less 2 shillings. Now there are in demesne 2 ploughs and 8 men with 1 plough. These men hold land there. Roger 1 carucate of land, Tetbald 1½ carucate, Warin 1 carucate, Ralph (Radulfus) 5 carucates, William 2 hides and 4 carucates of land, Adelard 1 hide and half a carucate, Osmund 1 carucate of land. This whole (demesne) is worth 4 pounds and 10 shillings. The demesne (of the chief manor) is worth 3 pounds and 10 shillings.

King Edward held [Blackburn]. There (are) 2 hides and 2 carucates of land. The church had 2 bovates of this land, and the church of St. Mary had 2 carucates of land in [Whalley] quit from every due. In the same manor (there is) wood(land) 1 league long, and as much broad, and there was a hawk's eyry there.

To this manor or hundred belonged 28 freemen holding 5½ hides and 40 carucates of land as 28 manors. The wood there (is) 6 leagues long and 4 leagues broad, and they were subject to (erant in) the aforesaid customs. In the same hundred King Edward had [Huncoat] of 2 carucates of land, and  [Walton-le-Dale] of 2 carucates of land, and  [Great Pendleton] of half a hide.
