 A HISTORY OF SUSSEX ploughs. There are 4 bordars with i ox, and 2 saltpans yielding {de) 7 shillings. In the time of King Edward it was worth no shillings ; now 20 shillings. In this manor the count has kept in his own hands [retinuit) 1 1 saltpans, which are worth 24 shillings and 6 pence. Ansfrid holds of the count at Chenenolle [ ^] 2 hides. There is land for 2 ploughs. Tochi held (this) as an alod {shut alodium). On the demesne is half a plough, and (there is) I villein with half a plough, and 5 acres of meadow. In the time of King Edward (this) was worth 40 shillings ; now 15 shillings. The same Ansfrid holds of the count in WiLENDONE [Willingdon] half a hide, and for so much it is assessed. Leward held it as an alod [sicut alodium). There is land for half a plough. Then, as {et) now, it was worth 10 shillings. Godfrey the clerk holds in almoigne in Palinges [Peeling] i hide, and there he has 2 bordars who return 8 pence. It is and was worth 3 shillings. Roger the clerk holds i hide at Coonare [Cudnor ^] in almoigne. There is land for I plough, and there (the plough) is on the demesne, with I bordar and i ox. Brictuin held it. The same Roger holds at Horselie [Hor- seye] i hide in almoigne of Saint Michael.^ Clerks held it in common. There is land for 1 plough. There is i villein with i plough, ' This must be the land of Cnolla given by Robert de Dene, who inherited Ansfrid's posses- sions, to Lewes Priory, and is either Knolle near Chilley or Knolle in the Hailsham portion of the Lowey, both names being found in the sixteenth century. 2 In Westham. S.D.B. suggests Crannor in Lamport manor, but even if this is within the Lowey, Cudnor is closer in form to Coonare and is historically much more important. I have never met with Crannor in any document, while Cudnor is of frequent occurrence. 3 In the time of Edward the Confessor these 2 hides, with the church of Eastbourne — in which place this same Roger the cleric held land — appear to have belonged to Fecamp Abbey. Whether the original church of Eastbourne was dedicated to St. Michael, or whether the reference is to the chapel which is known to have existed at a later date at Horseye, or to some other religious establishment, is uncertain (see IntroJ. p. 376). These 2 hides then, as {et) now, were assessed for so much. Then (they were worth) 10 shillings ; now 22 shillings. Walter holds of the count i hide, and for so much it is assessed, Brictuin held it at CooNORE [Cudnor]. There is land for half a plough, and there (the half plough) is on the demesne. It is worth 5 shillings. Ansfrid holds of the count at Orne [Horns, near Pevensey] 2 hides, and for so much they were assessed. Three men held them as an alod {sicut alodium). There are 2 bordars and 8 acres of meadow. In the time of King Edward (this) was worth 25 shillings ; now 10 shillings. Ranulf holds of the count at Orne [Horns] I hide. * There is land for 2 ploughs. There is i bordar. Then it was worth 13 shil- lings; now 63 pence. In Hou [Hooe] the count holds 4 saltpans in demesne, which are worth 20 shillings. In Remecinges [Renchyng Hill in West- ham] William^ and Ralph* and another Ralph hold of the count 2 hides, and for so much they are assessed. Two free men held them as an alod {sicut alodium). There is land for 4 ploughs. There (are) 2 villeins, and I bordar, and 2 ploughing oxen. In the time of King Edward (this) was worth 16 shillings; now 15 shillings. In Pellinges [Peeling in Westham] Alan and Godfrey and Ansfrid and Roger hold 4 hides of the count, and for so much they are assessed. There is land for 4 ploughs. Alward and Algar held them of King Edward as {pro) 2 manors as alods {in alodia). There (is) now i villein and i bordar. In Langelie [Langney] Rannulf holds of the count 1 hide, and for so much it is assessed. Lemar and Bricstan held it as an alod {sicut alodium). There are 2 bordars. There William' holds i hide, and for so " William de Cahaignes ; Hugh de Kahannes gave 60 acres here to Lewes Priory. " Ralph de Dene, whose granddaughter's hus- band, William Malfed, gave 120 acres here to Lewes Priory. ' William de Cahaignes, who gave i hide in Langeney to Lewes Priory. This seems to be the hide belonging to Ewhurst (see note 4, p. 406). 16
