 THE NORTHAMPTONSHIRE SURVEY In another Adington' [Addington Magna] Aubrey the chamberlain 2 hides of the King's fee.' There also (is) i hide of the fee of the Abbot (of Peterborough).^ There also William son of Guy 2 hides of the fee of the abbot of Croylaund.^ In Thingdene [Finedon], of the King's demesne, lo hides.* NORTHNAVESLUNT In Craneford' Bertram de Verdon ('Wedon') 2 hides and I virgate (and) a half of the fee of (Peter)borough. There also Geoffrey the chamberlain 1 hide of the fee of Gloucester. There also Richard Fitz Guy 1 hide of the fee of (Peter)borough. There also Maurice Daundelyn 2 hides (and) a half of the fee of (Peter)borough.* There also Ralf Fitz Roger 5 hides of Simon Fitz Peter.® ' Held, as i^ hides, of the bishop of Coutances by 'Hugh' in 1086. It must have been granted by Henry I. to Aubrey (de Vere). ^ Not entered, it would seem, in Domes- day. ^ Domesday assigns 2 hides there to Crow- land Abbey. portion of this great manor that lay in this Hundred. ^ These holdings are difficult to identify. Domesday assigns to the Abbey, at Cranford, 3 hides which were held of it by ' Robert ' and l^ hides which are entered as held by Godric of the King. These holdings would seem to be represented by the 2| hides of Bertram and the 2i hides of Maurice, which amount to 4J hides as against 4^. Richard Fitz Guy was son of Guy de Reinbuedcurt, who held 3 virgates there in 1086, but of the King, not of the Abbey. The 1 hide of the fee of Gloucester seems to represent the ' i virgate ' which ' Robert ' held there of the bishop of Coutances in 1086. It is certain, at any rate, that the Daundelyns subsequently held here 1 5 knights' fees of the abbey of Peterborough, which were in Cranford St. Andrew. •^ Sheriff of Northants 11 55-1 160 and 1 1 63-1 1 70. He seems to have been son of In Barton [Barton Segrave] Geoffrey the chamberlain 5 hides of the fee of Gloucester.^ In Werketon [Warkton] are 4 hides of the fee of St. Edmund.' In Ket[er]inge (are) 10 hides of the fee of (Peter)borough.^ In Grafton [Grafton Underwood] Richard de Humaz 4 hides."* In Burtone [Burton Latimer] Richard Fitz Guy 8 hides (and) a half." There also William de Houton i hide (and) a half.*^ Peter de Brixworth and father of Simon Fitz Simon (Bridges, I. 453, 501), who occurs in this Survey under Brixworth {i/>id. II. 80). Mr. Baring has suggested to me that these hides at Cranford, which cannot be identified in Domesday, may have been taken from some other Hundred since 1086 and added to the Domesday 5 hides at Denford, not far off, are not satisfactorily accounted for in this Survey (see p. 376 above). ^ This had been held, as 4^ hides, of the bishop of Coutances by 'Robert' in 1086. It seems possible that the above tenant was Geoffrey the chamberlain * de Clin- ton ' (as he is sometimes styled), for in the Lilxr Rubeus (though not indexed) ' Guefridus de Clintune' appears, in 1 1 66, as having formerly held 5 knights' fees of the Earl of Gloucester (p. 289). ^ So also in Domesday. '° Robert ' Albus ' had held 3 hides there, and Eustace (the sheriff) ^ hide in 1086. Both holdings must have been bestowed on Richard du Hommet ('de Humaz'), Constable to Henry II. " Held in 1086 by his father Guy de Reinbuedcurt. '^ This must be the hide and a half held of the bishop of Coutances by ' Richard ' in 1086. But Domesday seems to assign to the Bishop another 2J hides there which are not here accounted for. 389
 * Domesday assigns only 9^ hides to that
 * Naveslunt.' In that case, he points out that
 * Entered as 3^ hides in Domesday.
