MALDEN, M.A.) IN this map those manors in which the king had an interest are distinguished by a scarlet line under the name. A blue line is under those of the chief ecclesiastical tenant, the Abbey of Chert- sey ; a green line marks those of the greatest lay tenant, Richard, son of Count Gilbert, alias Richard de Tonbridge. The identification of the names has been based upon a comparison of the later records of feudal tenures with the Domesday Survey. Where there is real uncertainty about a name a query has been appended, as to Estreham ? Where a place is clearly not represented by any existing or formerly localized name, it is left out, as Driteham. Bramselle is omitted as being only possibly repre- sented by a modern farm. A nameless manor in Tandridge Hundred has been hypothetically indi- cated by two queried modern names, Caterham ? and Warlingham? The Domesday Hundreds have been marked out by the later boundaries with some modifica- tions. The attribution of places to Hundreds is careless in the Survey, and sometimes mistaken. In other cases the boundaries then were different from what they are now. One or two of the present Hundreds are perhaps not ancient. The estates of the Bishop of Winchester are attributed to no Hundred in the Survey, but answer to the present Farnham Hundred. The whole of Godley Hundred, with the exception of Pirford, was then held by the Abbey of Chertsey. It possibly represents a district formerly unin- habited except along the banks of the Thames, and considered as a Hundred after its grant to the Abbey, perhaps in the seventh century. The Hundreds to the south bordered on unin- habited forest, with no definite southern boundary, so that some isolated places in Sussex were reckoned as belonging to them. Nine of the Hundreds are named after places of small importance, one Emley Bridge being lost altogether. Kingston and Godalming were the largest places in their Hundreds. The names and courses of rivers are given as they are now. The canalization of the Wey in the seventeenth century changed its course.
