 A HISTORY OF NORIHAMPTONSHIRE HUNDRED OF STOKES In Wilberdeston' [Wilbarston] and in Stokes [Stoke Albany] William Daubcny 8 hides and i virgate.' In Carleton [East Carlton], of the King's socage, half a hide and I small virgate and a half.' There also William Daubcny half a hide and I small virgate and a half.' There also Robert Fitz Hugh 3 great virgates and i small virgate and a half.' In Brampton', of the King's socage, i hide.* There also Basset 2 hides.* There also Ralf Fitz Eldewyn 4 hides less 2 small virgates.* In DiNGELE [Dingley] Alvr[ed] 2 hides and I virgate.' There also Richard Basset i hide (and) a half and i great virgate in his demesne.* In Sutton' [Sutton Basset] and Weston' Richard Basset 6 hides.^ (William D'Aubigny's predecessor) 3 hides in Stoke and 3 hides and I virgate in Wilbarston. But the total in this Survey possibly includes the I hide at Stoke and 3 virgates at Wil- barston, which had been held by the King in 1086 and which would bring up the total to 8 hides. ' Here is I hide and 3 ' small virgates ' in Carlton apparently unaccounted for in Domes- day. But Domesday assigns to Ralf Pa)'nel 2 hides in this Hundred, of which the locality is not named. ' Held of the count of Mortain by Hum- frey, 353 virgates, in 1086. Hugh held there of Robert de Buci in 1086. ^ This was certainly the '2 hides' that Robert de Buci himself held there in 1086. ^ This entry is of special interest as giving us, apparently, the name of the son of a Domes- day under-tenant, 'Ildvinus,' who held 2 hides there of Robert de 'Todeni' in 1086. The above total seems to include the I hide less i^ bovates which 'Ildvinus' also held of Robert in Dingley and the I hide belonging to the Countess Judith at Brampton in 1086. ' Domesday assigns to the count of Mor- tain there 1^ hides and 1^ bovates, and to Countess Judith ^ hide and ' | of § hide,' equal in all to 2 hides + ^ + y'^, which is close to the above total. » Held as § hide and ' f of § hide ' {i.e. i^ hides in all) by Robert de Buci in 1086. In AssELE [Ashley] Ralf de Bcufo 2 hides and 2 small virgates of the fee of Beuv[er].'* There also Richard Basset 4 small virgates which Guy de Wat[er]vill[e] held." There also William Daubeny 7 small virgates.'" There also Roger de Sprotton i hide of the fee of king David." There also Berengar' I hide less I small virgate which Guy de Wat[er]vill[e] holds of Ralf de Beufo.'" In CoTiNGHAM the abbot of (Peter)borough 7 hides.'* In Banefeld [Benefield] i hide of the fee (.).'* In Rokingham i hide of the fee ("V).'* HUNDRED OF COREBY In Wakerle (are) 2 hides (and) a half of the fee of Eudo Fitz Hubert.'* In Haringworthe (are) 5 hides of the fee of king David." In Laxinton' [Laxton] and in Hvnewyk [Henwick] Viel [Fitalis) Engayne i hide (and) a half.'* There also Robert Fitz Hugh i great virgate. only 2§ hides in Weston and i§ hides in Sut- ton. But the Countess Judith also held ^ hide at Sutton and ^ hides at Weston in 1086, which would give a total, in all, of 6|- hides for the two places. '" Domesday assigns to Robert 'de Todeni' (' the fee of Beuver ') 3^ hides in all at Ashley. Three hides were held of him by Geoffrey and Walchelin and ^ hide by Wibert. These three holdings are represented above by three others, of which the total is 3 hides and 8 ' small virgates.' " Robert de Buci had held in all one hide there in 1086. " Domesday assigns only ^ hide to Countess Judith at Ashley. Thus the total Domes- day assessment is 4f hides, while in this Survey it is 4 hides and 12 'small virgates.' '^ So in Domesday. '* Not Benefield in Huxlow Hundred. It is now a farm south of Rockingham. It is not mentioned in Domesday (compare note ' above on Carlton). '* The King's in Domesday. '* Assigned to him in Domesday. " Countess Judith's in Domesday. '* Held by William (Engayne) in 1086. 386
