In 1086 Tur Langton was held of the archbishop by one Walchelin and had been sublet by him to an equally unknown Herbert. Neither of these men can be connected with Hugh de Port, Henry's Domesday predecessor. 3 In 1086 Hugh de Grentemaisnil, the earl's predecessor, only held 4 carucates in Shangton, in which vill, however, the king possessed z carucates as sokeland to great Bowden. 9 Held by Robert de Veci in 1086. 10 Held by Robert de Veci in 1086. 11 In Domesday Robert Dispensator, the uncle of Walter de Beauchamp's wife, is credited with I if carucates in Kibworth, a sum which apparently includes part of the carucate assigned below to Rich- ard Basset. 12 See the previous note. 13 Held by Hugh de Grentemaisnil in 1086. 14 See next note. ls In Domesday Hugh de Grentemaisnil is assigned 1 1 carucates in Carlton Curlieu. This sum includes the 10 carucates ascribed to the earl of Leicester in the present survey and also the I J carucates possessed by the monks of St. ' Arnulph.' The latter name is clearly a scribal error (Arnulphi for Ebrulfi), for in or before 1082 Hugh de Grentemaisnil had given 5 virgates in the present vill to the famous abbey of St. Evroul. It will be noted that the assessment of Hugh de Grentemaisnil's portion of Carlton Curlieu in Domesday is less by one bovate than the sum discussed in the present note. 16 In 1086 the king possessed 6 bovates in this vill belonging to the soke of Great Bowden. 17 This hundred lies quite apart from the main body of Gartree wapentake, to which it belongs, and itself falls into three divisions which are geographically separate from each other; first, a group of 30 caru- cates round Owston and Newbold ; secondly, the 1 5 carucates assigned to Pickwell and Leesthorpe which form an island in Framland wapentake; and thirdly the vill of Baggrave ($ carucates), in the civil parish of Hungerton in the wapentake of Gosecote. In the other Marefield 3 carucates. 2 GOSECOTE WAPENTAKE HUNDRED OF LODDINGTON In SCEFTINTON [Skeffington] Norman de Verdon 8 carucates and a half.

These 3 carucates may represent part of the above. 80 Held by the Countess Judith in 1086. " Including the 14 carucates which Geoffrey de Wirce possessed in Pickwell and Leesthorpe in 1086. 23 Forming part of Henry de Ferrers' Domesday estate in Newbold. 23 Domesday does not assign any land in Burrough to Robert Dispensator, the Marmion predecessor elsewhere.
