In the time of king Edward it was worth i o pounds, afterwards 6 pounds ; now 1 1 pounds. IN BRIXISTAN [BRIXTON] HUNDRED Haimo himself holds CAMBREWELLE [Camberwell]. 1 Norman held it of king Edward.

THE LAND OF HUMFREY THE CHAMBERLAIN IN CHINGESTUN [KINGSTON] HUNDRED XXXI. Humfrey the chamberlain holds of the Queen's fee (feuo) CUMBE [Coombe].* Alvred held it of the King, and could seek what lord he pleased (patera t ire quo volebat).

Ralph de Felgeres holds HALLEGA 1 Titsey and Camberwell descended from Haimo to his niece's husband, Robert Earl of Gloucester, and were part of the Honour of Gloucester. The statement in Testa de Nevill that Titsey was held of the Honour of Gloucester from the Conquest is in itself absurd, as the Honour of Gloucester did not exist. 8 In the list de Serjantiis in the Red Book of 1212-1217, Ralph Postel held land in Coombe by the service of collecting the Queen's wool. See above, under Kingston, 30, b. i. [Hedley ?]. The Countess Goda 3 held it of king Edward. It was then assessed for 7 hides ; now for 2 hides and i virgate. The land is. 4 In demesne there is i plough ; and (there are) 9 villeins and 5 bordars with 5 ploughs. There are 8 serfs. Wood worth 1 5 hogs.

THE LAND OF ALVRED DE MERLEBURGH. 7 p. 36, b. li. IN WOCHINGES [WOKING] HUNDRED Alvred holds of the king SANDE [Send] ; and Rainald holds it of him. Carlo held it in the time of king Edward. Then, and now, it (was and) is assessed for 20 hides. The land is for 10 ploughs. In demesne there are 2 ploughs and 8 serfs ; and (there are) 14 villeins and 10 bordars with 6 ploughs.

Of this land, Walter (holds) i hides, king Edward. Hedley was afterwards a De Clare manor, and this may not be the same place. There is an Elderbury Wood in Hedley, and there is just a possibility that Hedley might be meant by the manor of Richard de Tonebrige called Eldeberie (35, b. i.), only that is in Blackheath Hundred, which makes the identification with Albury more likely. 5 Probably Westcott, in Dorking parish. 6 ./Ethelsige, abbot of St. Augustine's and of Ramsey. 7 His name does not appear in the list of tenentes in capite. Rainald, his tenant, is substituted for him. 326
