Lewin holds of the earl i hide in BURTONE [Burton on the Wolds]. The soc belongs to Lucteburne [Loughborough]. In demesne there is I plough, and (there is) i villein with 2 bor- dars and 20 acres of meadow. In the same vill Godric holds of the earl 2 carucates of land and has there I plough in demesne and 20 acres of meadow. Hugh de Grentemaisnil claims (reclamat) the soc of this vill. Roger holds 5 carucates of land of Earl Hugh in TEDINGESWORDE [Theddingworth]. There he has I plough in demesne, and 4 villeins with 4 bordars have 2 ploughs. There (is) a mill (rendering) 6 pence. The king claims this land 85 (est in calumnia regis). Earl Harold held it. Robert holds of Earl Hugh 15 carucates of land in COGEWORDE [Kegworth].

There is half a plough ; and 4 villeins with 2 bordars have ploughs. 91 Alnod held it. 85 Most probably as belonging to his manor of Great Bowden, to which the soke of William Loveth's land in Theddingworth pertained. 86 Probably including Barrow on Soar and the whole of Earl Hugh's fief surveyed to this point. 87 This notice is of some interest as suggesting that the abnormally low ' valuit ' which prevails throughout the Survey of Leicestershire may refer not to King Edward's time, but to some unexplained depression in value which affected the county after the Conquest. See also Maitland, Domesday Book and Beyond, 469. 68 This entry is referred by a sign (U) to Hugh's holding of 3 carucates, which comes under the Lough- borough heading. 69 ' Busli ' is interlined. 90 The MS. is unintelligible here. 91 MS. illegible. 90 33 6
