Barnes parish was a peculiar of the See of Canter- bury. 8 The form of this entry is unusual. It nowhere exactly asserts that the church of Lambeth was the holder of the manor ; only in the final words that the Bishop of Bayeux had annexed some land which formerly was attached to the church. There is no holder ' on the day when king Edward was alive and dead,' for Countess Goda died 10 years before him, in 1056 (V Art de Verifier les Dates, II. 762). The Rochester Registers, near the beginning, say that part of Lambeth was granted to Rochester by Eustace, Goda's husband. Henry I.'s charter to Rochester, quoted by Dugdale, says that Lambeth had formerly belonged to Rochester, had been taken away, and restored again. See below for another manor in Lambeth. 8 Goda, or Godgifu, sister to king Edward, wife of Eustace II. of Boulogne. IN CHERCHEFELLE [REIGATE] HUNDRED XVI.

Mr. Free- man, Norman Conquest, vol. iv., Appendix N., was misled by a mistake of Sir Henry Ellis in supposing that Eustace II. was certainly dead in 1086. 6 Ida of Lorraine, wife to Count Eustace II. 312
