 A HISTORY OF SUFFOLK To this manor Phin added in King William's time 8 freeman with 35 acres and a sokeman with 12 acres, who could not take himself*" out of the lordship of Saint Etheldreda, and among them they had then 3 ploughs, now 2. Then it was worth 15J., now 20s. Osbern de Wancey holds the whole ; and Richard claims it as belonging to Phin's fee. The King and the Earl (have) the soke. Two of these freemen Roger de Ramis claims as of his fee, and he was seised thereof. The whole is 6 furlongs in length, and 2 broad. And (pays) 6d. in geld. Of all this Phin had nothing T.R.E. Claindune [Claydon] Hundret In ToROLUESTUNA [Thurlston] on the demesne were 18 freemen. Of these 12^ were under commendation to Aluric the priest, who was himself under commendation to Wisgar. Among them all they had 64 acres. And of the others, that is to say of 5^, Richard's pre- decessor had not commendation over Aluric, Waldwin, Harold, Godwin, Ulmar, Aluric. These latter had 24 acres T.R.E. These men fol. 394*. Richard so holds, because Bishop Vrfest held them when Richard made good his claim to the church of St. Peter at Ipswich against him ; but now he did not know that they did not be- long to his fee. Among them all they had always 3 ploughs, and i acre of meadow. The above 12 were then worth 6s. and 8d., and the others 41. and id. The King and the Earl have soke over the whole of them.
