HUNDRET OF HIDINGFORT [HINCKFORD] LISTUNA [Listen 7 ], which was held by a free man as a manor and as half a hide and i virgate, is held by Ilbodo.

The normal Domesday form of Ardleigh was ' Erleia,' but ' Erlega ' occurs. The initial ' D ' is found also in ' Dorseda,' the Domesday form of Orsett, and at Ardleigh itself on p. 541 above, where a manor of Ranulf brother of Ilger there is entered as ' Der- leia.'

Probably identical with Ilbodus, who held a manor in Oxfordshire as a tenant-in-chief, for the name is a rare one. He is mentioned under the king's manor of Witham (p. 429 above). 4 One of the small estates there entered in Domesday. 8 i.e. at the same assessment. This appears to be the right rendering. 7 Either the manor of Over Hall or that of Netherhall there. Each of them is assessed in Domesday at hide, and each had 30 acres of meadow and a moiety of the mill, and the same number of ploughs on the land. There had evidently therefore been a partition not long before the Conquest (see p. 552 above). I 56 among them ; now i plough. (There are) now 3 bordars. (There are) 2 acres of meadow. It was then worth 10 shillings ; now 7. LXX. THE LAND OF H(A)GHEBERN 8 HUNDRET OF BERDESTAPLA [BARSTABLB] NEZENDENA [Newenden 9 ] was held by Tovi', a tree man, as 54 acres in King Edward's tjme. Then i plough ; now none. It was then worth 10 shillings ; now 3 shillings and 4 pence. DUNILANDA [(East) Donyland] was held by Moduin' 10 as half a hide and 12 acres. Now Haghebert (sic) holds (it) for as much. 11 Then as now (semper) 2 bordars (were there). Then I plough ; now none. It was then worth 14 shillings; now 10. RAiNEHAM[Rainham 1S ] was held freely by a priest as half a hide. Now Hag[hebern] holds (it). Then half a plough ; now none. It is worth 10 shillings. LXXI. THE LAND OF THIERRI (TEDRICI) POINTEL 18 TILIBERIA [Tilbury 14 ], which was held by a free man as a manor and (as) 45 acres in King Edward's time, is held of Thierri (Tedrico) by Hunald'.

This was one of the two manors there. 10 See p. 560, note 10, above. 11 i.e. at the same assessment. J * One of the smaller manors there. 1S He occurs under several of the king's manors in Essex, having held land at Renflcet, Latchingdon and Lawford, and still holding an estate belonging to Witham, and claiming one in Dengie Hundred 'fro escatigio.' He was also, doubtless, the ' Poin- tellus' who held, in that Hundred, under Ralf Bainard at Woodham Walter and ' Curlai ' (com- pare p. 522, note 5, above), and the ' Pointel ' who held under the Bishop of Bayeux at Cricksea a,nd at Wheatley in Rayleigh. He will further be met with below in the section ' Invasio Tedrici Puintel,' where further acts of annexation on his part are recorded at Thurrock, Burnham (adjoin- ing Cricksea), Paglesham (opposite Cricksea), Little Stambridge (adjoining Paglesham), etc. 14 The mention of ' pasture for sheep ' proves that this was Tilbury on the Thames, not Tilbury by Clare. The identity of this small manor i doubtful. 71
