 LEICESTERSHIRE SURVEY In BOCTHORP [Boothorpe] the same, i caru- cate. 137 In APPELBIA [Appleby] the same, i carucate and i bovate. 138 In STRECTON [Stretton en le Field] the same, 1 carucate and a half. 1311 In DURANTESTORP [Donisthorpe] the same, 2 carucates which Walkelin holds. 140 In SWEPESTON [Swepstone] the same, 6 caru- cates. 141 In NEUTON [Newton Burgoland] 2 caru- cates. 142 Jn ACTORP [Oakthorpe] half a carucate. 143 In CHILTESTON [ ] the earl of Chester I carucate. 141 In ALPELBIA [Appleby] the same, half a caru- cate. 145 In ASSEBIA [Ashby de la Zouch] the earl of Leicester 3 carucates. 116 In PAKINTON [Packington] Hugh the sheriff 5 carucates. 147 In OSGODESTORP [Osgathorpe] the same, half a carucate. 148 137 As in Domesday. 38 Domesday assigns i carucate here to Henry de Ferrers. 9 Henry de Ferrers held I carucate here in 1086. 40 Domesday assigns i carucate in Donisthorpe to Henry de Ferrers. 1<l Representing part of Henry de Ferrers' holding of i o carucates. 142 Domesday assigns l carucates here to Henry de Ferrers. 143 No land is assigned to Henry de Ferrers here in the Domesday Survey either of Leicestershire or Derbyshire. K4 It would seem impossible to identify ' Chilteston' with Chilcote in this neighbourhood, for the latter appears as ' Caldecote ' in the Derbyshire Domesday, but no other place with a name approximating to ' Chilteston ' can be found in this quarter. 145 In Domesday 3 carucates in Appleby form part of the (escheated) land of the Countess Godiva. The present half carucate no doubt was included among these 3 carucates, and it is probable that the carucate in ' Chilteston ' above was involved in the same entry. 146 Domesday assigns 14 carucates in Ashby de la Zouch to Hugh de Grentemaisnil, which were held of him by Ivo. It is very possible that this large figure includes some of the land in the centre of this wapentake, which, though entered in the present survey, cannot be identified in Domesday. 147 See the previous hundred. 148 It is possible that this half carucate, like the 2 carucates in Snibston above, being held at the date of this survey by Hugh the sheriff, was included in Domesday among the 8^ carucates there ascribed to Packington, although the only entry referring to Osgathorpe in Domesday assigns I carucate there to Henry de Ferrers. In SCEGLA [Seal] Henry de Albini 2 carucates, which belong to the defence (defencionem) of Swepstone. 119 HUNDRED OF SHEPSHED In the same vill and in WACTHON [Long Whatton] and LOKINTON [Lockington] and AMINTON [Hemington] the earl 2 hides and a half and 4 carucates. 150 In WACTON [Long Whatton] Norman de Verdon 2 carucates and 2 bovates. 151 FRAMLAND WAPENTAKE HUNDRED OF COLD OVERTON (Caleverton') In the same vill 12 carucates of the fee of William de Albini. 152 In SOMEREDEBIA [Somerby] Robert de Ferrers 5 carucates. 153 In the same place Roger de Mowbray 6 carucates. 154 In the same place Robert Marmion 3 carucates, and in BURG [Bur- rough] 3 carucates. 155 In DALBIA [Little Dalby] Robert de Ferrers 5 carucates and i bovate of the fee of Tessun (defeodo tesmn). 149 Held by Nigel de Albini in 1086. The curious phrase ' pertinet ad defencionem de Swepeston ' means that these 2 carucates formed part of the total assess- ment of the latter vill for purposes of the Danegeld. 40 Domesday assigns the same amount of land to the king in Shepshed. 51 See above under Belton, note 113. 152 Held in 1086 by Dru de Bevrere. 153 This entry clearly includes the jj- carucates which Domesday assigns to Henry de Ferrers in Somerby. It is possible that it also includes the ij carucates of sokeland which the king possessed in that vill in 1086. 154 No land in Somerby is assigned by Domesday to Geoffrey de Wirce, Roger's predecessor, but he is credited with 7 carucates in Little Dalby and 3 J caru- cates in ' Godtorp.' The latter place has not been identified, but is probably represented by 'Gillethorp,' below, to which 3 carucates are assigned here. In- cluding the carucate in Burrough, below, the sum of Roger de Mowbray's land in this hundred amounts to 1 1 carucates as compared with the 1 1 carucates assigned by Domesday to Geoffrey de Wirce in Little Dalby, Burrough, and Withcote. 155 Domesday assigns 5$ carucates to Robert Dis- pensator in Somerby, an amount which probably includes part of the 3 carucates here referred to Bur- rough. But Domesday also states that Herbert ' Serviens ' held 6 bovates of sokeland in the Framland portion of Burrough, which may have passed to Robert Dispensator. See above under Knossington hundred, p. 345. 156 Representing the 5 carucates held in 1086 by Roger of Henry de Ferrers as an appendage to the manor of Somerby. Roger is proved by the Tutbury Chartulary (see above, p. 292, Domesday Introduction) to be Roger de Livet, but his identification throws no light upon the ' fee of Tessun,' above. 351
